Default trent lott loses home...

[img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] trent lott; one of america's best senators and great all time politician suffered personal loss when his beachfront home in pascagoula, miss. was destroyed in recent hurricane...

what a terrible thing to happen to such an outstanding top-notch individual...

maybe we should start a trent lott relief fund on 2 + 2..

Is this a joke? I wouldn't call anyone who cares at all whatosever about a politician's summer home compassionate, and I wouldn't call anyone who didn't the opposite.

I wouldn't even give him a nickel, and the fact that the media would even point out that a particular politician's home was destroyed is not only irrelevant and insignificant, but disrespectful to people who lost their *only* and *actual* homes and probably couldn't afford to buy others for vacationing in the first place.

Save compassion and sympathy for those who need it; there are many.

Nor would I, however, to not feel compasion for his loss is inhuman IMO.

I agree. It doesn't matter who's home was destroyed. The fact that anyone's home was destroyed is sad.

I think that it IS in bad taste for media to point that out. I am not sure it's actually disrespectful, but it may very well be close.

Why? Why not have compassion and sympathy for everyone effected?

It's a summer home, and he's doing just fine. Call me (actually... don't) if he really needs something or is adversly affected in any substantial way.

Also, it's not at all disrespectful for the media to report this. He is a public figure, and that makes news. It's as simple as that. In fact, I bet he loves the coverage, because it makes him appear to be a slightly more sympathetic figure.

To act like this is some great tragedy for him, and that the media should, for reasons unknown to me, shy away from reporting this is completely silly and a little bit disturbing.

But most people already knew all that, and didn't need me to tell them.

Sorry, if I am going to get asked not to call a spade a spade, I am going to point out this.
