Progressive taxation? Ugh! You know, from this description, you’d never think they were voting on child tax credits for low-income families…

Although almost every Senate Republican voted for the bill, some clearly were unhappy at having to do so under what they considered public pressure from liberal groups and Democrats. Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi voted for the bill, but as he did so he stuck his tongue out, put his finger in his mouth and made a gagging sound, indicating his apparent distaste for the bill.

Or maybe you would. After all, it’s Trent Lott.
