Trent Lott is no hero of mine.

Most Lott supporters have had to preface their comments with remarks like that around here for the last few days.

You, on the other hand, are ripping and roaring over what you see to be the demise of the Republican leadership.

No, I'm ectatic over the fact tht we can finally get past the Lott era in the Senate. He's been hurting our cause for far too long.

I'm just trying to point out, who you brung to the party, and how helpful to the party, that person has been. As far as I can see, it's not too helpful. But the Keyes camp is great at sniping.

No, you have an axe to grind with Alan Keyes and with me, obviously. But I will stack Alan's contribution to our party up against yours any day.

One thing's for sure, if it had been Alan on that panel on BET tonight, he wouldn't have walked from the studio stripped of all dignity and having betrayed every Republican principle, like Trent Lott did.

In fact, the panelists would have been the whipped puppies, and the viewers would have gotten a full dose of common sense Republican solutions for the problems faced by both black AND white Americans.

Maybe if the Party leadership would embrace Dr. Keyes, as most rank and file Republicans have, instead of stiffarming him, the GOP could start to win some hearts and minds in the minority community.

Thanks, that's exactly what I expected you'd say. You live in a delusion. "Most rank and file Republicans have not embraced Keyes, but it's not about the minority community. It's about how to win some hearts and minds period. And Alan doesn't cut it. But you have put your agenda out there, and I thank you for doing it.

You may now resume your dancing on Trent Lott's grave.
