Trent Lott did give a stinging response to Bill Clinton's State of the Union address. Not the tepid performance a few minutes after Clinton finished speaking, but his answer two days before the speech on This Week with Sam and Cokie. George Will asked Lott if he thought "moral turpitude" was grounds for removing a president. Lott ducked and Will pressed: "How can you talk about the state of the union without talking about this?" Replied Lott, " We can go ahead and pass these bills and hope that the president will have the good judgment and the moral turpitude to sign them."
