Of course the apology wasn't good enough because to sincerely apologize you have to have done something to apologize for.

That's not the point. The point is NO apology would ever be good enough because the racist black Dims and their lily-white supporters were looking for some issue to be mad about. When they couldn't find a real one,they were more than happy to manufacture one. This ain't even about Lott. It's about them showing once again that they can bitch-slap the cowardly Republicans around any time they want.

This has made me more ashamed of the republican party and GW than I have ever been.

Congratulations! Your eyes are finally beginning to open. Wait until Bush formally apologizes for Lott,and then basically allows the Dims to run the Senate by either going to another power-sharing deal,or allowing them to pick the successor of their choice. When it comes to caving,NOBODY is more cowardly than Bubba-2. He makes Lott look like Rambo.

Look, I am really pissed at Bush and the GOP but I sure as hell do not want to be on the same wavelength as you on any matter. You are enjoying this too damn much.

The "Power Sharing" deal was Lott's idea. A REAL leader wouldn't have allowed the Dems a single Committee Chair. Did the Dems return the favor after Benedict Jeffords jumped ship? NO. They have a REAL leader. Daschle might be a pig, but he's the leader of the pigs. And a ruthless one at that.

Lott has been a wimpy leader from the get-go. If he leaves the Senate, then the Pubs still have a 51/50 Majority with Cheney. And with a REAL Majority leader, the Dems will wish this issue never came up.
