Then throw him out over that instead of labeling him a racist(not that YOU did). I agree with you on throwing him out because he is weak. But we need to throw out a few more if that's the case. In fact, where does it stop if we must throw out all the stupid ones?
Look, if Lott were just a Senator from Mississippi who would give a rat's behind how stupid he is? But he's in line to be the single most powerful person in the Senate, and to exhibit his lack of fundamental commonsense at this stage of the game is appalling.
Politics is bloodsport, and Lott plays like it's co-ed volleyball. Get him out of the way, let him have all the pork Mississippi wants, then put someone in leadership who thinks like a conservative, fights like a liberal, and acts like a statesman....
