I disagree...

If Lott were to remain the Leader of the Senate then everytime there is a signing ceremony, everytime their is a press conference requiring Conservative Senate leadership, everytime a microphone is stuck in Trent Lott's face, regardless of the subject matter...the underlying vibe will be "That is the idiot closet racist".

True or not doesnt matter in the Political realm.

And I have no doubts that he will be on camera. Lott doesnt know how to shut up. His hubris and insulated loop of friends and associates causes him to think he is right in what he does. After we won back the Senate...the overall thought process was "dont gloat". Lott was on three different news shows the next morning. And the day after that he was on two others that I am aware of. Some might offer that because he is the ranking Conservative Senator he should've been on TV. I completely disagree...and I'd bet cash money that The President's Political consultants would agree with me.

His job is to be in his office getting work done, not running his mouth getting face time with the networks [which by the way are ever salivating and lying in wait with loaded questions]. Lott isnt smart enough to spin the Liberal questions back at reporters so he just comes off ducking his interviewers with obvious non-committal political double-talk.

Lott is not the face we want on our products and unless he is removed from the leadership position...he will be.
