You're absolutely right. This whole dust up is totally ludicrous. I'm no Trent Lott fan, but this is one molehill that should have been squashed immediately.
The Dems have so little to offer that gets them TV time, they pounced on this like white on rice. It should have been stonewalled from the get go and it would have been yesterday's news in a heartbeat.
After this last election, Clinton lead the democrat party with a speech. He called for a demolition team? Looks like they're still following Clinton.
