I couldn't see it. I would enjoy some commentary from somebody other than the anti-Lottites however for some semblance of objectivity.

Highlights?

Highlights?

Sorry, but a quick search only turned up lowlights.

He didn't do himself any good on either side of the fence is my opinion. Lott is a politician and that came out by him trying to please the host with his answers.... He was cut off from his thoughts at times so it was somewhat disjointed. Lott isn't the sharpest stick in the pile so sometimes he tries to say or do things that are best left alone. He missed some opportunities to explain further what he really meant but let the host cut him off and didn't come back to it. Just a few of my initial reactions...

Sorry- I'm terrible at reporting what politicians say.
Anyway...I'll give my impressions.

Typical politician-interviewer-show IMO. He did grovel some, he ducked a lot, he apologized a lot.

The "now I'm for affirmative action" quote is the only significant policy remark.
Supported judge Pickering although the interviewer tried very hard to get him to say otherwise.
Said as Maj. L. he would get legislation through that helped blacks and all minorities.
The interviewer didn't cross the line into being too harsh- frankly, I had hoped he would.

He came off as a politician trying to mend fences- successfully IMO.
