Trent Lott's explanation was way lame... the outcry over it is hypocritical, though... compared to Byrd's history.

Republicans get no slack over misstatements on Race. Democrats do.

Democrats get no slack over misstatements on National Security. Republicans do.

It has to do with where the parties are perceived to be weak.

Lott's mouth is not connected to his brain.

We should look at this as a God given opportunity to push him out of the leadership. He has been a rotten leader from the start. Without his gaffe we would have been stuck with him for at least 2 more years.

I agree with you - Why are the republicans mentioning the KKK King?? That megaturd that shakes his finger and his jowels at ya at the same time! Barf. I agree with Servant tho, that although the statement was likely not meant the way it is being blown up, it would be a refreshing change to hanve a new Senate Majority Leader. Someone tough!
