There was a reason to defend Lott then. He was just saying something to bring a smile to the old guy on his 100th birthday. Remember the uproar? Remember how many times he apologized? Over and over and over again? Yes, he was defended by many (not just talk radio) over that, yet the dems still demanded his head on a platter and they GOT IT.
Now, it seems he's not the man we believed he was. Funny how that seems to be happening a great deal lately... His suckup to Feinstein today was pretty disgusting. Mr. Lott, when you kiss the a$$es of those who did their best to crucify you, and at the same time bash those who defended you, many of us are wondering....
What is your soul worth? Is it the highest bidder who decides?
About the flap with Strom Thurmond you wrote.

Would that all who are interested who live in his state send the above message. In my opinion his true “wimpism” (lack of cajones) became very obvious after the Thurmond gaff.
The problem that Lott had is that by then he had already alienated conservatives. Lott was the major factor in not getting a conviction against Bubba Clinton in the Senate during the impeachment trial. Lott caved and the movement fell apart.
Then Lott made a series of mistakes that disenchanted conservatives such as "dividing power" in the Senate committees in 2000 when Republicans held the slight majority. He failed to convince "Jumping Jeffords" to stay on board and regularly displayed in incompetence and weakness as a leader. I won't say "conservative" leader, he never displayed any true evidence that he was one.
We were calling for him to be ousted from his leadership position long before the comment.
So when the opportunity came, the Democrats were pretty much doing us a favor.
I heartily supported this mealymouthed wimp's ousting.
Just as I support his immediate recall/retirement now.
To "home" with all RINOs. They don't belong in a position of power.
Judging by Lott's recent comments on talk radio, he's completely lost his faculties and should probably check into a health care facility ASAP.
We should help convince him to do so.
