Measuring Up in the 9th District 

by Jackson Baker
For what it's worth (no pun intended), here are the latest financial disclosures of 9th District congressional candidates, from the Federal Election Commission Web site.

And, oh yes, one of those 9th District candidates (you know which one) is actually running for the U.S. Senate and has been getting and spending with some abandon.

  • Trent and Bill, Sittin' in a Tree ...

    In a recent interview with the Galveston, Texas, Daily News, Mississippi senator Trent Lott gave gave Tennesse senator Bill Frist low marks, to say the least.

    Lott said Frist didn’t have the experience to lead a political body as fractious as the Senate, adding, “I don’t think he’ll go down in history as one of the greats." Frist, who is dogged by questions about stock transactions involving his family company, plans to step down next year as majority leader to make a run for the presidency. It’s a run that Lott doesn’t think much of.

    “I don’t think he has a shot at that,” Lott said.

    Lott is currently on tour promoting his memoir, Herding Cats. All we can say is meow.

    To read more about Lott’s comments on Bush, Katrina, and Tom DeLay, go here.

    Looks like Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker has a crush on a new man: Harold Ford, Jr. Parker will co-host a March 23rd New York fund-raiser for Ford. For $1,000, you get dinner at the Palace Hotel with Ford and 50 other swells. For $300 you can hang at a VIP open bar party at Crobar with Ford and SJP. For $100 you can party at Crobar and see Harold and Jessica onstage for 20 minutes. And, proving that there’s something for every budget, you can get a late-night dessert and policy discussion for $250. Finally, if you love a bargain, you can get the whole magical evening for $1,250.
