No pass given here either.

What I do have a problem with is how fast our guys are
to throw out (R) politician, such as Lott for example, for something
as trivial as an old mans birthday remark. That was weak and uncalled for.

Lott was my Senator and I supported him with $$$$... he was horrible as majority leader and the day will come when he is indicted for collusion with dickie scruggs... bank on it.

Agreed. And Lott got a bum rap with little support.

Lott screwed himself.

If he hadn't learned that politics was/still is a full contact sport after all the years he had been in he was indeed inept.

He went around apologizing, looking weak, leaving blood trails in the water and the sharks come out and ate him up as they are trained to do.(both on the right and the left)

Had he stood firm and made no apology at all it would have been a 5 day news story and than gone. Once he put chum/blood in the water the politico sharks just could not help themselves.
