Right when his party and nation need him,

Our party "needs" a racist?

He's too racist to be Majority Leader, but not racist enough to leave the Senate.

Have I got that right?

Yes.

The people of Mississippi are entitled to elect a racist for Senator, if they want to. That does not mean the nation has to to put up with a racist as their Majority Leader.

I have no idea whether Lott is a racist or not. However he is a liability to conservatism. So he should not be in charge of the Senate.
