Sometimes men need a push in the right direction to realize they have what it takes. It happens.

Bush pushed, Lott found some balls.

Now that is something I might buy into.

And not just the willingness to fight. If Lott has been someone who isn't a racist but has had a strange tolerance for those who are, and he has gotten a kick in the ass that has finally caused him to understand the reasons that our conservative philosophy is incompatible with racist views and that he must not act is if they are no big deal but instead repudiate them whenever he encounters them, then something good may have come out of all this and he might be salvageable. But the proof will be in the pudding.

In Lott's case, said push was a size 12 boondocker administered repeatedly to the fundament before he figured it out.

I swear, his IQ test results must be in the range marked "frequently outwitted by inanimate objects...particularly those with zero moving parts."

Bush pushed, Lott found some balls.

Did he find them soon enough?

I got a bad feeling the answer's "no."
