Refuse to Lose 303 Ken Griffey Jr. and Gorton at the groundbreaking for Safeco Field in 1997. The Kingdome looms in the background. Seattle Mariners team play in person. But they’re on TV in Japan where Ichiro is a god. I went to Japan and thanked him. The first thing he said, through his interpreter, was ‘Oh Mr. Senator, how is our team doing?’ “Baseball is by far the greatest sport,” Gorton says. “Those six months of the year when there is no baseball are just wasted.” His daughter Sarah found the perfect Christmas present for a man whose best friend is a dog named Triple Play—a device that provides play-by play updates, batting averages and all the other statistics, as well as trades and news in the off season.
35 | The Council of Trent Two AMBitious Men were at the pinnacle of their political careers in 1996. When Bob Dole resigned from the Senate to run for president, Trent Lott became majority leader, with Gorton as his attorney and ex-officio counsel to the Republican leadership team. While to some they seemed a curious pair, it was a mutual admiration society. Gorton wished he had Lott’s charm and charisma. Lott appreciated Gorton’s sophisticated sense of humor and legal acumen. He was one smart Yankee. On all matters legal, Gorton was Lott’s E.F. Hutton: When Slade talked, people listened. Lott had another reason for keeping Gorton at his side on what was soon dubbed The Council of Trent: “Our leadership team was all basically from the Deep South. It was also heavily oriented toward conservatives. We needed sort of a contrarian view. After we all came in and slapped each other on the back and said this is what we should do, I needed somebody who’d say, ‘Now wait a minute. Have you considered this? Have you considered the impact it would have on the Midwest or the Northwest? Or have you considered the position this puts some of our more moderate members in?’ Thanks to Slade, we would frequently stop, think about what we had planned to do and reject it or moderate it in a way that made it more palatable to the largest group of senators. We’d get more done his way. “We had the majority in the House and Senate, but the Democrats had Clinton, a masterful politician. So we had to find a way to frame our issues in such a way that we could get Clinton to sign them. The record is replete with examples of how we did that on everything from safe drinking water to portability of insurance; balanced budgets, tax cuts—the whole package. Slade was in the middle of all that.” 1 As Lott’s confidant, Gorton also knew how much their legislative success owed to the fact that Lott was part of a triad of strange bedfellows. Lott’s political adviser for his 1988 Senate campaign was a freewheeling New York consultant named Dick Morris. His main claim to fame in the 304
