Oh, And BTW if you really believe that Lott was actively endorsing Segragation at Stroms Birthday party, You should be posting at DU.
The Lott turmoil was entirely manufactured by Democratic operatives namely by unrepentant Clintonite James Carville, who first made an issue of the remarks the same night on Crossfire and then pushed the story behind the scenes wherever they could, explaining to pundits and politicians how this could be used to sock it to the GOP.
