Are you sure the blackmail story is true? Someone in Lott's office said it was not. Granted, the guy may have been freelancing, or maybe Lott is sending out conflicting signals. The conference call story turned out to be bogus.

Sending out conflicting stories is a nice way to deflect attention from an obvious blackmail attempt.

"The conference call story turned out to be bogus."

It did? FNC's Tony Snow was quoting the incoming senator of SC asking someone during the call if this is what they want in that Lott is gone...

Does it matter anymore whether it was true or not at this point. It's been picked up and scattered and repeated at every opportunity .... so Lott may just as well have said it as he'll be tarred with the smear for the rest of his life and beyond.

Was Lott even on the conference phone call to which it is attributed the said the statement?

I heard the conference call did happen........but the blackmail story coming out of it is false.

To tell you all the truth I think we are all worying over nothing.

Lott knows that if he walks away and gives this to the RATS he will be finished.....TOTALLY.

And I think that has been explained to him by now..

He doesn't want need a very popular President pissed off at him..

I've seen and heard it in more than once place.
