Because Bush had already accepted the FIRST apology. I am accused of being the premier BushBot around here and for good reason but I don't take to cowardly statements of support that are in fact designed to appease the unappeasable. If Bush had included his repudiation of the same virulent racism of today and the democrats success at keeping blacks on the plantation by letting 13% of the population drive every domestic program for 50 years his statement would have accomplished something. It is about time for an accounting of the 6 trillion dollars and special legislation aimed specifically at blacks and what the result has been.

All the talk shows tonight were quoting multiple White House sources including Rove that the reason the President came out and criticized Lott yesterday was because Lott had told Bush he was going to do a real apology on Larry King but he couldnt get the words out. Bush was reportedly furious at Lott's first two or three non apologies.
The explosion of Rap and Hip Hop, from what I can gather.
