Lott has given us nothing bad choices. I didn't want him a Majority Leader again, but I'd have preferred that rather than him stepping aside under these circumstances.
As for what Democrats like Robert Byrd and Cruz Bustamante have gotten away with, I hold Republican politicians entirely responsible. It's their job to finish off the Democrats who've shot themselves in the foot, and they've repeatedly failed to even try to get it done.
I also did not want Lott as majority leader, I expressed that opinion here 3 weeks back.

What you have written here is very very important and is where the Republicans have utterly failed. We all know one big reason why they have failed is because of media bias. Now is the time they can possibly change this by using the bully pulpit of the presidency and the majority in the senate and house to point out these inequities and if the media does not report fairly what is said, this inequity should also be pointed out with every means available.
