So, I was off by a week. So what, as long as he is gone?

Indeed. I think this will end up being another case of the D's shooting themselves in the foot. Instead of Lott, they'll probably find themselves having to deal with a guy with a backbone.

It was obvious that this would happen as soon as Lott made his gaffe. Ya gotta love how those folks keep forgetting the Law of Unintended Consequences.

Now, we can turn around and ask when Senators Byrd and Hollings are going to tender their resignations.

Yes - that explains the scramble. Lott's going to be given a chance to do the right thing - and he'll get a decent committee chair out of it. Maybe Bush can score a two-fer by demoting McCain.

"I think this will end up being another case of the D's shooting themselves in the foot. Instead of Lott, they'll probably find themselves having to deal with a guy with a backbone."

In this case, I don't believe the dems were any more of a factor, than the Republicans and the media.

Not to mention Lott's poor performances, each time he tried to grovel and apologize, over and over, and over and over, and over and over, and ......

Somebody needs to tell Lott that when you are in a hole, you should stop digging.

I think a condition of Lott's giving up the majority leader post should be a demand that Senator Robert "Sheets" "White N?????" Byrd resign from the Senate.

Has it ever been established that Byrd has never burned a cross while he was a member of the KKK? Participated in a lynching?

It's time to stop focusing just on Lott and examine the cancerous racism that has been a trademark of the Democrat party for the past 45 years or more. At least 45 years, beginning with Senators JFK, Al Gore Sr, J.W. Fullbright and others who blocked President Eisenhowers attempt to pass the Civil Rights Bill in 1957.
