Bush should do the right thing and affirm his support for Lott

Bush cannot "affirm" something that isn't so, therefore it would be the wrong thing to do---to say he supports Lott when he does not.

The president won't support Lott--even though he's stated Lott is not a racist. Bush, after all, wouldn't want to upset his base.

I'm disappointed with Bush on this one.
