gee, endorsing RR in 1980 by saying he would be better than the liberalism and soft anti-Communism practiced by so many administrations was somewhow...a gaffe?

Drudge is pathetic to use this.

Read Post #8. There's nothing pathetic about Matt Drudge; we loved him when he was giving us all the dirt on the Clintons, and he is still the same Matt Drudge.

Yeah, the way all the people on this forum pile on when what Lott was doing was endorsing Reagan -- what was wrong with that? -- is pathetic.

Read it again. It was at a Reagan rally, but Lott was talking about Thurmond, who had just finished speaking. The "30 years ago" comment makes that clear -- Thurmond had run 30 years ago (from 1980), whereas 30 years before 1980 Reagan was just an actor who was still a few years away from filming "Bedtime for Bonzo".

I agree with you Habs.

Drudge is the one that made this a big deal.

I personally could care less what Lott said. If what he said made the Dims mad...great!
