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.

Took his beating -- that he did. But now he is behaving as a remorseful, guilty sort -- as though he indeed has a debt to pay. How effective as a conservative Republican will he be now that he feels he's got a tab to pick up and how big will it be?

The man had NO bite as a "Leader" before this debacle -- after watching him earlier, he's got nothing left in the tank down the line.
