Lott...As the ultimate punishment for Lott, I think the others should take away his executives restroom key. That would be the end to end all of punishment.
Politics being an art and not a science there are many vagaries from day to day due to the human nature factor. One days worth of the media, democrats and Bush piling on Lott may well look as a shining example of moral, pure,and just, political fervor, one that will cleanse the party of such a sinful person.
After the tent is down, the firebrand minister departed and the trash taken away, has there really been a permanent and lasting benefit for the republican party and its future? There is always a plus and a minus for someone in any political bloodletting. Lott was expendable years ago. Bush used a meat cleaver instead of a scalpel to rid the senate and party of a boil and I fear the party will have a price to pay in the future.

Sinful person? Firebrand minister? Political bloodletting?
What the hell are you talking about? Your attempted metaphors and analogies are a jumbled mess of jibberish.
Please read the following more slowly for better comprehension or perhaps find an adult to read it to you.
While many have their doubts about whether or not Lott is a racist, the main thrust of most FReeper's desire for Lott to step down is that Lott's comments were stupid. A seasoned politician should know better, especially a politician who is the media's focal point of the congressional GOP.
We're not saying Lott is evil and needs to be cleansed. We're saying Lott is/was dumb and his continued presence in leadership is harmful to the party and the President's legislative agenda.
