A man has to plan
Senator Trent Lott of Missouri announced he will resign from the Senate. He has another four years to go, so why now?
He says he might want to teach.
Do you think this has anything to do with it?: (from the New York Times) By resigning before the end of the year, Mr. Lott would beat the effective date for new ethics rules that double to two years the amount of time a former public official must wait before he can join a firm to lobby his former colleagues. The new rule applies to those who leave office “on or after” Dec. 31.

At worst, he's greedy. At best, he's leaving because he's frustrated with the job. What about the people who elected him expecting that he'd serve a full term? You don't resign from public office just because you don't feel like doing it anymore.
