Because the man who ran on that old discredited platform turned 100 years old and Lott said something stupid in an effort to make an old man feel good about his long life. Is that a crime?

Stupidity is not a crime, but the punishment is usually swift, merciless, and beyond appeal.

Trent Lott had PO'd the GOP rank and file long before he opened his damn-fool mouth last week.

And now he just found out what it's like to have gotten rid of your friends over six years.
