Well, don't get snippy about it :-))

It just that a smart politician knows when to keep his mouth shut. I don't include Lott among those smart politicians.

Hes not smart,can't argue that.However,its distressing to see conservatives doing too very liberal-like things;applying our current enlightened state to a totally different time,and,using something such as this to throw a poor leader overboard.

I agree that Lott is not smart, but attacks on Lott over this kind of stupid remark just reinforce the PC strictures on speech. It's particularly discouraging to see them on a conservative forum like this one.
