I am just putting myself in his place.

Staffs have also been known to fib. Lott is understandably very angry about this. What likely pisses him off most, is the fact the his repuplican friends ran like rabitts!

I found this fact disgusting and very telling. I know the rats now see that they can do this to anyone!

And they will! You can take that to the bank!

"I am just putting myself in his place."

I understand that sentiment. It's no fun being a star on the team, then fumbling again and almost costing your team the season only to have the rest of the team and management saying that that's the last time you'll get the chance to fumble. This season is too important and we're ahead right after the half of the biggest game of the year.

Yes, but I believe this staffer. He's a friend that I gave a personal reference for and wished he hadn't ended up with Lott. I'm not a Lott fan if you haven't noticed.

Lott is understandably very angry about this.

He should be. This was the wrong time to bring this up, the wrong way to dredge it up, his past was checkered on the issue at best and his crisis management was slow and bad. We can't afford anymore of this type of leadership and expect to win. Better to take the liability out of the game plan and reduce the chance of losing.

Unfortunately, he lost the support of his friends, got a break and was allowed to rig his Leadership ascendancy uncontested...and then he did this. He blew it, period, paragraph, end of story.

Only if the 'anyone' sets himself up, which Lott did. There used to be an old saying 'character matters'. The fact that conservatives and the people that lead us must rise above even the appearance of impropriety should be a lesson for anyone desiring to ascend to the highest ranks of leadership. His glorifying the good old days of segregation by claiming that we'd be better off if a candidate of an explicitly, 100%, segregationist party had won...was quite..unbelievable.
