Because he did not stand up and say the claim was bogus.
I have to disagree .. this isn't Bush's dog fight ..
what he did say that the Republican Party does not agree with the statement Lott made and is being accused of
This is Lott's mess to clean up .. not the President's
Because he did not stand up and say the claim was bogus
Thats funny. Lott this afternoon agreed with the President's characterization of his words. Why should Bush stand up for Lott when Lott sat around for four days with his finger up his ass instead of nipping this thing in the bud. You simply can not face the fact that Lott is responsible for this. He made the stupid comments and then he failed to manage the fallout. The man is an arrogant fool, not a leader.
