Over on Parish Alford’s Ole Miss sports blog on the Daily Journal site, they’re arguing in comments whether it would be better for Trent Lott or Ronnie Musgrove to be the next chancellor of the University of Mississippi.
Is this a parody of a comment thread or a real comment thread?

Maybe Ed Orgeron would come back to be chancellor. Or Billy Brewer.
I wish Khayat had resigned *before* telling the district court that he didn’t think Scruggs should do *any* jail time.
I’ll never be able to regard him the same way after that. The man used to be dean of the law school, for heaven’s sake.
Can I obtain new diplomas with a different institution’s name on them if NMC’s suggestion about Trent Lott above comes true?
i agree w/ deltalawmama….ugggggggggggh on trent
You wouldn’t want to see what’d happen to the school’s national reputation . . .
Surely this commenter jests
re Lott:*I think he could’ve led this nation,*
At least this thread is not as bad as the majority of those on CL site. It makes you wonder if they even went to Ole Miss or if they just liked it because of the battle flag and Col. Reb garbage.
Trent would be ideal! The whole State of Mississippi seems to hold him in a sacred and hallowed special status, such that he can participate in the bribery of a judge and, because he was a Senator and resigned, it just ain’t kosher to expect the law to apply to him. Think how cool it will be to have an invisible, bulletproof Chancellor at Ole Miss! Khayat can crown him. The Klan can sing backup. A special White Citizens Council can serve aged, iced, tea.
OMG! What alum would want EITHER of those choices absent a seizure of some sort rendering the last five or so years unimaginable and unrememberable.
Will someone explain to me the deal with “aged ice tea” and why it is anything other than something you’d pour down the sink?
Lott isn’t and won’t be a candidate for replacing Khayat, for a wide variety of reasons, not the least of which is that he turns 68 this year. A 68 year-old person won’t be seriously considered for the post … even if he is Trent Lott.
I’d thought, too, that age was the surest answer this, Ben.
Another is that he’s making so much money as a lobbyist.
But Trent WAS a cheerleader. That’s gotta count for something, right?
