I know I watched that show. He did do this to himself, and he will have to reap the wirlwind. HOWEVER (as much as I love to listen to them) where were they when a racial slur was said on national TV by the senate pro tem. If we let the byrd comment go by saying at least were not them. We have doomed ourselves to be attacked relentlesly by the lib media. When ashcroft brought out the carnahan blackface it helped to deter some of the dem race baiting. He can step down, but it has to come with a fight on byrds comments. Let the Naacp et al defend it.

I understand your frustration and you're right. There is a double standard. But it's just not going to happen. I do not know whether or not the Beltway Boys had anything to say about the Byrd slur or not, but knowing them, they say what they think. I would think that they did, but I cannot verify that. If Lott goes down swinging, then he's just going to look like a vindicative child who's been caught doing something naughty and wants to bring others down with him. It's not fair, mind you, but it's reality. I believe that one of the reasons why Pres. Bush has been such an effective president is that he realized this double standard early on, computes it into his thinking and planning, doesn't complain, and marches on. And, BTW, runs circles around the opposition (I just love it). Lott doesn't have the president's political talents and apparently does not possess the internal resolve to get what is important done. He needs to step down. Yes, Byrd should have been called to task years ago.
