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!

This is a tough one, folks - what to do, what to do? The PR hit taken here of the entire GOP cause because of some stupid comment is huge. Sure, it's being blown way out of proportion and is simply a tool used by desperate liberals in the media and politics. But nontheless Lott said it, twice apparently, and it looks like this isn't going away without someone's head on a platter. How can Bush and other leading Pubs defend him without getting stained too? The libs don't ever let up on these things, hypocritical as they are. Look what they did, and are still doing, to John Rocker, that guy will never inhale a breath of fresh air again.

Do we throw Lott overboard, concede temporary defeat, to avoid this thing going on and on? I agree with most here that Lott has been a pathetic leader and I wouldn't miss him. But we do need his vote in the Senate, and make no mistake, the Dem strategy behind this is to get one Senate seat closer to majority, not just replace the majority leader.

One more wicked thought - is it possible some conservatives helped move this story along secretly, perhaps even from way up high, to stealthly get Lott's sorry butt out of power, without an ugly fight? I do know that Bush tends to turn these seeming Dem victories into his own.
