If you succumb to thought crimes, you stay here kiddo. Then you don't need to be brainwashed.

What Lott did was not wrong. But his handling of it has been completely idiotic. He must go.

"If you succumb to thought crimes, you stay here kiddo. Then you don't need to be brainwashed."

Yes, that is the original argument in favor of supporting Trent Lott in light of the obvious smear job.

Unfortunately, while the trumped up charge of "racism" was festering, Lott took it upon himself to kneel before the BET gods, and promise to do their bidding as his penance. There -- THAT solved the problem, didn't it??

Clearly, the man can no longer be entrusted to support his conservative constituency and the GOP now that is feels he is beholden to the party and agenda of Maxine Waters.
