What bothers me about this Trent Lott (non-issue) is that his comment could be taken many ways. Bill Clinton is probably laughing his arse off because he knows he could of spun this out of the headlines with the complete backing of the mainstream media.

You would think that Trent Lott would have better sense than to make such a stupid comment, but no one has ever claimed he was a rocket scientist. This whole thing has blown way out of proportion and it has damaged the Republican party

I would not be surprised if Clinton gave Jesse a call about this

This was a non-story until Russert received a message and made a comment on his show

Lott's insistence on being Leader (or he will take his ball and go home) is *why* Republicans are damaged.

I'm not a huge fan of Lott either, but this has turned into a political witch-hunt.

Hey Drudge, where's all the past skeletons from Byrd? Clinton? Any other elected official???? This whole thing just makes me sick and reeks of a media witch hunt to make the Republicans look like the racists that the Dems keep saying we are! I'm astounded at how many people want Lott to roll over and take it up the arse when what we need to be doing is fighting back against this crap. It happened with Newt. And you think we'd learn from the past.

Apparently not. The reason that the Dems keep using the Republicans are racists card is because WE LET THEM!
