So Trent Lott does his penance by spending his hour on BET, but I don't think that's what the reverend Al meant, I think he meant that Trent Lott will have to burn on the altar of the Black Caucus and Al's Presidential election campaign.

You know...

I just can't find it in myself to feel sorry for Trent Lott.

It must be a character defect of mine.

LOL!!! I have read this entire thread in hopes of gleaning some reason Lott is going on BET for an hour. Penance, followed by altar sacrafice, surely will purge PC onto his tongue. ;)

I am amazed at all the mind readers and the mileage they are getting over this. Byrd and Gore (and countless others) actually said what they meant with nowhere near this outrage or demands for pennance. Lott, on the other hand, was paying homage to a 100 year old man who is a legend!! Forget the legend, it is lost in what the mind readers claim Lott MEANT.
