Lott is behind the scenes in desperation mode. Check this paragraph out from today's Washington Post.
In an indication of White House wariness about getting squarely behind Lott, sources said Lott sought statements of support last week from national security adviser Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of State Colin L. Powell but was rebuffed. Both are African American. Some White House officials said it was clumsy of Lott to ask.
That should tell Lott something. Bush wasn't going to let him use his people for Lott's some of my best friends are black defense.

Yes, lots of people on a sinking ship think that others would be ever so happy to jump on with them. Condi and Colin are no fools. They know Lotts time is up.

Why didn't Lott seek support from Shirley Temple Black?

Yeah, Rice must have thought the talk about the glory days of Jim Crow by Lott was just grand.
