He didn't even appear in person until the President slammed him. Until then, he was giving phoned-in, tepid apologies. Just as in everything else, he was spineless. Paul Gigot of the Wall Street Journal says the Senate Republicans deserve a new vote for ML. I agree. If Lott stays as ML, I think we lose in 04.

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.
