"He apologised because race hustlers and power hungry Dems ( now on the losing end of the stick ) stirred the pot and wouldn't let it go. When the Dems held both Houses and Trent made the same remark, over 20 years ago, where was this outcry ?"
He was a two bit Congressman then, not Senate Majority Leader. Big difference.
As far as I'm concerned he can stay in the senate, that's up to him. But he has disqualified himself and does not deserve to be majority leader.
Oh, you mean that it's okay for Byrd, a KKK member and a Kleagle as well, to have been the Majority Leader,but not Lott ?
You haven't a say in the matter; the Senate GOP has. What are you going to do...hold your breathe, until Trent vacates the SML post, write endless, inane posts on FR, call your Senators ?
What if Lott does renounce the SML ? You and I aren't guarenteed his replacem,ent will be any better, nor that the knoves aren't already sharpened and waiting for the next " victim ."
