However, at this stage of this neo-con and Drudge-induced crisis it all boils down to one slogan: "Thurmond never lynched anyone, but Robert Byrd belonged to an organization that did."

Charles Krauthammer said something I agree with like this. You can be a Senator and say stupid things, and have a "past" but you can not be a Leader and say stupid things that damage the party and the President's agenda. Step down as leader and then let the folks of Mississippi decide if you should remain their Senator in the next election.
