The unusual redemption of Sen. Lott.
Byline: Jill Zuckman
Apr. 14--WASHINGTON -- As the Senate struggled recently to resolve an impasse over immigration reform, Sen. John Cornyn needed advice from an expert.
He did not turn to President Bush nor to Majority Leader Bill Frist.
"I said, 'Trent, how do we get out of this mess?'" said Cornyn (R-Texas), meaning Sen. Trent Lott, the former Senate Republican leader from Mississippi whose knack for legislative strategy remains undiminished, if newly appreciated.
Lott was forced from his leadership post in 2002 after he praised then-Sen. Strom Thurmond's segregationist 1948 presidential campaign.
