I think the appearance on BET last night only made matters worse. The transcript is posted and it seems to me he made it sound like he was sorry, but he couldn't help it as the whole South and the GOP is racist.
I am certain he didn't mean that, but that is what the transcript looks like.
And McCain is making moves on running for leadership. Blech! And I just don't see any easy way out of this, no matter which way it goes.
I am thinking the best thing would be if Senator Lott checks into a hospital for exhaustion and extensive tests. It would keep reporters from getting him to say anything else damaging, McConnell could be "acting majority leader," the Republicans would maintain the majority, and Lott could retain his senate seat without being harrassed by the Rats.
Well, I know this is probably not honest, but I am desperately trying to think of something that won't make things worse!
