I saw Lott making his effusive remarks to Thurmond and interpreted them as stupid, insensitive, typical running-off-at-the-mouth Lott. He is NOT the Mouth of the South, and those remarks, meant most likely to flatter this 100 yo man, were vastly inappropriate, ESPECIALLY coming from Lott's position as ML.
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.

I agree completely. I don't care so much about Lott regarding this issue. I want him out as ML because he is a lousy ML.
