That doesn't mean much. It was just one of his bits on one of his que cards (that most politicians keep, either on actual cards, or in their mind) that he trundled out whenever the moment seemed right. In fact, it may be exculpatory, sort of. It suggests that he kept playing a golden oldie without any thought. When Lott is asked when he decided segregation was wrong, and whatever date or time frame that was, why he never gave voice to it at that time, and waited until now, what do you think he will say by the way? That question is sure to be asked soon.
