He should have gone after he gave Clinton a pass and p!ssed all over the House Impeachment Managers. The man is an embarrassment. Worse, he is a cowardly, invertebrate compromiser and ineffective as a leader. Somewhere in his background he also must have ample blackmail material.
It's a shame a stupid and PC insensitive remark is what might do it, and not the real reasons. But, any port in a storm.
Dump Lott and get somebody in there who will be effective!!
Unfortunately, these attacks on Lott do not constitute a port but rather a reef. The South, which is essential to any conceivable Republican or conservative success scheme, has a large contingent of folks who have no truck with racism or segregation but who are unwilling to spit on the Confederate flag or their ancestors memory just to accomadate the politically correct demands of 2002 whether espoused by the left or the neo-cons. They will not see the sacking of Lott for this minor transgression as a friendly act. Sitting out the next election would doom GWB, or do you expect Jesse and Al to come over to his side if Lott is dumped. A cursory perusal of the election returns from Louisiana could be constructive for you on this score.
I am no fan of Lott, never have been, but oppose this witch hunt.
Regards.
