Yeah, Carville must have hypnotized Lott so he would make such an incredibly stupid comment. You sound like Hillary, blaming Bill's problems on the vast right-wing conspiracy. Lott said this on his own free will, and he needs to take responsibility for his incredible lack of judgement and let someone else be Majority Leader, and whether or not the Dems are baying for blood is immaterial - the GOP needs to do this on its own accord. This isn't the first time he's rammed his foot into his mouth on this topic, and the fact that he is unwilling to watch his trap is another indication that he is NOT suitable for any kind of leadership position. As another poster said on this thread, he'll do fine as a back-bencher.
Truth is stranger than fiction, what worst and totally unnecessary a thing could Lott have said? This was like watching someone attempt suicide in public.
Seems to me that Pride Cometh before a Fall and that while Lott has little reason for a big ego, he has managed to invent one.

Then again, we have been purging the Congress of the likes of Livingstone, Newt ( who I greatly adnmire for what he did in 94), Dick Armey, etc.
The only mandate that the Republicans have is to put winners at the top, and let losers like Trent self destruct of their own accord.
