Er what Rat said being Pubbie = being racist?
Are you that blind I mean your over 50 you said and you don't know.
Anyways today
Sen. Trent Lott's latest apology for racially charged remarks should suffice, the Senate's incoming No. 2 Republican leader said Saturday, vowing that a move for formal censure would produce a swift counter-attack against a prominent Democrat.
"The first amendment (to a censure motion) that would be offered would be an amendment relating to Sen. (Robert) Byrd's comments in 2001," said Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
Byrd, D-W.Va., used the phrase "white niggers" in a taped broadcast interview last year. He swiftly apologized at the time, saying "the phrase dates back to my boyhood and has no place in today's society."
Lott, R-Miss., and in line to become Senate majority leader in January, triggered an uproar earlier this month when he made comments at a 100th birthday party for retiring Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., that conveyed nostalgia for the policies of racial segregation.
Under pressure from Democrats and Republicans alike, Lott has offered a series of increasingly expansive apologies for his remarks, culminating in a forceful denunciation of racism and segregation at a news conference on Friday where he also asked for forbearance and forgiveness.
The GOP leader worked to buttress his support during the day, preparing for a 30-minute interview on Black Entertainment Television on Monday, dispatching allies to the weekend television news shows and urging party elders to weigh in on his behalf.
"I think he has to ride it out. Leaders take a lot of heat," former Sen. Bob Dole, Lott's predecessor as Senate GOP leader, said in an interview Saturday.
"He's apologized. I thought he did a good job last night (at his news conference) and now it will be up to his Republican colleagues. You're never going to please Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson or some of the Democrats. It's a political thing for them."
Thus far, none of Lott's 50 GOP Senate colleagues has urged him to step down.
