I wonder if there's any connection between this and the milder tone Ari Fleischer took towards Lott today.

I don't know. I heard the Pres met today with Hastert, though Lott was not included in that meeting.

I heard that too. Think Hastert may have had some things to tell the president?

At this point, it's all over but the vote or LIMPA-LOTT steppig aside. The POTUS won't pile on...in public....now. However, Bush surely sees a large chunk of voters leaving him in '04 if this isn't dealt with.
