I dunno. There has been tons (and TONS) of speculation on what Hillary! and Livingstone dug up on Lott and had in their illegally obtained raw data FBI files.
I will throw it open, because there is no way to beat around the bush about this speculation: the rumor is that Lott is a closet homosexual. I don't know if that is true, I am not saying it's true--it is just what the rumor mill says.
Flame away.
They dont need to. Byrd loses that position when the new Senate starts up. President Pro Tempore of the Senate is the longest serving senator from the Majority Party. Byrd is lame duck.
The outcry, remember, started w/Jessie Jackson, who is an expert in using the racist epithet every chance he gets. Lott gave him and dems that chance.
My dissatisfaction w/Lott pre-dates his PRESENT thoughtless remarks. He IS and has been INEFFECTUAL as ML.....strangling the House Managers and sharing the power w/the dems to mention only a few. Lott wants to be liked too much to take the hard stands that he must in order to be the Rep leader in the Senate.
That is the thing. Lott was on vacation in Boca Raton for a week. He says he didn't do a tv interview because there wasn't a satellite feed at a local station, so he just did written statements for the first several days, then Wednesday switched to radio interviews with Hannity and King.
Lott's political sense was so faulty, his hubris was so great, that even by Wednesday, he wasn't willing to drive to say... oh Miami, which is 45 miles from Boca Raton, to get face time on tv and try to kill this story.
Hopefully by tomorrow.
If you meant the scumbag muslim calling C-SPAN from Britain (~8:55 AM EST) to advocate the assasination of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and just about anybody else in what he called the Zionist plot to kill the poor persecuted Muslims of the world........................Yes.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Does C-SPAN not screen its callers as to what they are going to say?
Thats just the point..................THEY DID!
The question they asked was "Should the CIA have the licence to kill terrorists ala 007". {paraphrase}
The scumbag Muslim from Britain called in to say, "Yes, the CIA SHOULD reserve the right to kill terrorists whenever it finds them, without any due process of law or clearance by superiors".
He then ADDED "...........and Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz ARE terrorists and pawns of the terrorist Zionists and worldwide conspirators and therefore should be killed.................Blah, blah, blah {3 minute distribe}."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I hope that call was traceable. LOL.
Ah, geeze. Conservatives have been truly outraged with Lott for years. And, IMHO, pretty darn happy to have this opportunity to get rid of him.
I'd like to see a little moral outrage against the borking of man who is not a racist. --[Oops, but then conservatives are the ones doing the borking.]
Nothing else matters....just getting rid of Lott.
IMHO, it's this single-focus, near rabid reaction from conservatives that scares the heck out of more moderate members of the party and the country at large.
ROFLMAO!!! Wiping the coffee off the monitor.
It appears many are defending Lott because they do not want the Dems to "to win". They fail to see that it is a "win" for Republicans if Lott is replaced. He is damaged goods and will never recover from his stupidity.
Actually, there was a running joke (I think it was even on late night TV) that they only way Lott could save himself would be hold a press conference and say:
"My name is Trent, I am Gay, and that's OK!"
