From Washington Post.com

"Shortly after Lott spoke, more than 20 of them participated in a telephone conference call to discuss the fallout. Lott was not present."

So however Lott delivered the threat it wasn't in that conference call.

Are you suggesting that Lott wasn't in the conference call at all? If so, we are in a Sink of a Spur, which is much ado about nothing. Not Sink's fault of course. He was a mere conduit, which is what most of us do as we report who is saying what about whom.
