LOL!

That's funny.

Don't misunderstand, if it were over a legitimate charge I would be calling for him to go also. And I hate Trent Lott, I really do, but fair is fair. He's not a racist, so why legitimize the charge?

I wouldn't want people who knew I was innocent branding me as a political calculation either.

I wonder how the pious ones here would handle it if they were in Trent's shoes?

"He's not a racist"

That's been opened for debate I'd say. Sadly. If I were in the Lott's shoes, being me, I'd never have said it. Running the good ole boys club and sounding like a good ole boy isn't politically expedient for a GOP Senate Majority Leader. At this point, he needs to admit stupidity and allow a challenge while staying on until it's feasible for him to quit. He could give back some of what he's taken if he wants any standing with Republicans and conservatives ever again.
