I actually think this is far worse than anything Trent Lott ever said. And what is bothering you is that you are seeing how the media can make or break someone. In Biden's case, they are protecting him and ignoring the obvious patronizing racism of his quote. In Lott's case, they went after him with every ounce of power they posess.
It is disheartening. We really do have two Americas, as John Edwards says. We have the real America, and then we have the one portrayed on TV and in the papers. They are usually not one and the same.

You're right.
All Lott did was compliment Stromm Thurmond at his birthday party.
Biden on the other hand is running for President and made these comments during his announcment interviews!
I am glad to be part of the real America, and will continue to defend her with every fiber of my being!!
