A Rove leak to Drudge is not executive branch interference. It is party politics.

I'm still waiting for Chester to select one of these two possible explanations (instead of the plasticisms he's uttered so far):

A. "I am profoundly ignorant of political history, have a wax clogged tin ear, and therefore am unqualified to lead the Senate."

B. "I still believe segregation was good for America and therefore am unqualified to lead the Senate."

Byrd and Hollings are examples of why Lott can still be a Senator as long as the people of Mississippi elect him. But as The Leader, Frist, Nickles, heck, Norm Coleman - or Norm McDonald! - would be better qualified to lead at this point than the Plastic Eunuch. Believe me, I say this with my eyes wide open to the rat hype.

Byrd and Hollings are examples of why Lott can still be a Senator as long as the people of Mississippi elect him.

You can't have it both ways. Either Lott is a vile racist or he is not. If he is a vile racist, then anything short of being booted out of the Senate should offend you. The fact that it does not proves that you know this is a ginned-up issue designed to remove Lott from leadership by opportunistic sleazebags who will happily resort to the same tactics as Jesse Jackson if it suits their purposes.

For someone of such ethical purity, your ethics sure are flexible.
