Lott is a big wussbag idiot who isn't up to the task of leading a cakewalk. Everyone in America wants to see this slob put out to pasture, yet he's still there wasting space.

That said, this is funny to watch. He steps on his dick and dares to say something politically incorrect and even our side jumps on him. After all the crap he's pulled, some people are ready to chop his head off for this silly "thought crime".

Government mandated segregation is and always has been unconstitutional and wrong, whether it was officially declared so or not. Just as government mandated de-segregation is unconstitutional and wrong, it just is.

Doesn't matter though, we're not allowed to talk about that stuff anymore. Any discussion of whether a business in a free country should be declared a "public accomodation" is racist now.

Lott comes within three degrees of this topic and everyone has a cow. If these insignificant remarks are considered the worst thing he's done we've really lost control of the conversation. PC brainwashing has worked.

Lott will have ample opportunity to talk about his views on segregation the next time he's on Meet the Press and Tim Russert is tearing chunks out of him, asking Lott about his views on interracial marriage, whether the armed forces should be integrated, if races should be separated in work and school, should blacks be allowed to ride at the front of the bus, nifty topics like that.

AAABEST, look at Thurmond's 1948 platform:

On July 17, 1948, delegates from 13 southern states gathered in Birmingham to nominate Thurmond and adopt a platform that said in part, "We stand for the segregation of the races and the racial integrity of each race."

Do you agree with Trent Lott that the party of "segregation of the races and the racial integrity of each race" should have been given the keys to the White House?

The problem with your theory is that the remarks were not insignificant, as they have given ammunition to opponents of the Republican party.

And they go to the heart of the problem: the Senate has an unthinking fool for a majority leader.
