"You have to admit that this is a little over the top.."

Yeah, just a bit...

Even though I'd always regarded Lott as a totally ineffective "Leader" of the GOP, I've been supportive throughout all of this BS smear campaign out of principle...However...

If Lott's survived this firestorm just to be a Democratic/Black Caucus patsy and thus a GOP eunuch, as are the early indications, I may have to change my mind about him. If so, should Dubya and the Pubs jettison him soon?

What say you?

Yesterday couldn't be soon enough.

I think he stood up like a man and took his beating. But while taking it he made it clear that he's not resigning for being accused of something he is not.

President Bush says it was a heartfelt apology and that he wants Trent Lott to remain as majority leader. He should know since I am now quite sure that he and Trent had a heart to heart.

I will not leave over something I'm not.

Bush just came out with another statement of support.

If Lott chooses to have another vote of confidence, he can do that.

But, if he decides to stay, and Bush supports him, and his GOP counterparts support him, that's the end of it.
