A lot of people didn't want Lott to step down as Majority Leader simply because of this one off hand statement that was obviously a stupid remark., (myself included). Many also didn't want conservatives to abandon Lott, (again, myself included). I think there were many here that wanted him to step down because of his inability to lead effectively in the past and his stupid remark was just an opportunity to show him the door. (I understood that) BUT Trent Lott has made it completely clear that he DOES NOT have what it takes to be the Majority Leader and should step down and become the Chairman of some little known Committee.

On the very first day of this controversy he should of came out an issued a public (Written Statement) that apologized for his insensitive comments that were intended to patronize a 100 year old Senator on his retirement and then apologized to the President for hurting the Republican Party and reversing much of the progress he and the Republican Party have accomplished in convincing African Americans that the party of Lincoln is for the advancement of all the people equally.

How was he to know that something like would snowball, considering he didn't have the intent that his detractors think he did? You are asking him to have knowingly admitted what he said to Strom was a cynical thing.So, he is being lambasted by you for being honest...that is odd.This is why the racism charge is a fraud.And why Lott can appear like a deer in the headlights why all chortle at his misfortune.

I bet no one else would like to go through this right now.And to say it his ENTIRELEY his fault is a gross lie.Where has the good faith been shown by the Dems, the media and his ersatz allies...poor Lott is finding out he is a lonley man and for that, he ought to now look out for number 1.If he gives all the finger, good for him.

On the very first day of this controversy

On the first day of this controversy NO ONE CARED because it wasn't a BIG DEAL until Mary Landrieu won her election. James Carville, Hillary Clinton, et al... Now how do we get the majority back because we are so close once again?
