Ya, Bush knew Lott was a "racist" or something in the neighborhood, which is why he feted him. Can't we do a bit better than that?

"Something in the neighborhood" ... ???

Is he a racist or not?

(Frankly, I figure he -- like Livingstone -- is simply ready to move on to bigger and better things and making whatever sized splash folks wish on his way out. More of the Sound and Fury on which we can blame the GOP's failures to pace themselves as they make the Evil Clinton look like an amateur at waging "moral wars" and preserving our liberties with their "strict constitutionalists" on the bench and in the legislature.)
