The Lott turmoil was entirely manufactured by Democratic operatives — namely by unrepentant Clintonite James Carville, who first made an issue of the remarks the same night on Crossfire — and then pushed the story behind the scenes wherever they could, explaining to pundits and politicians how this could be used to sock it to the GOP.

LOTT was doomed by George Dubya Bush when he came out on TV to trash Lott. Bush has been in hiding every since.

Only a real fool would think that LOTT owes Bush and the likes of Nickles anything.

If they vote him out on January 6th. I predict that Lott will say it is obvious that he has lost the support of both the Republicans and Democrats. He will say that he was elected to represent the people of Mississippi. He can not do that in his current position and the people of Mississippi deserve more. Then he will resign. He will wish both parties good luck and best wishes.

I agree with you. Lott stuck his foot in his mouth. The white house was quick to make matters worse. My own Senator Nichols acted stupidly, and no one is wise enough to tell Lott to just shut up about it.

Lott's statement should be that I'm no bigger racist than Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, Maxine Watters, Gloria Stienam, Tom Daschell, or anyone who calls themselve a member of the BLACK CACUS.

Count me a fool...There is no way Lott would have regained his leadership post without the considerable campaigning help of President Bush. Add to that, I believe Bush was willing to take immediate action on Lott after the incident, but was standing back, allowing Lott to try to repair the damage before taking action. But it was Lott's serial ineptitude that forced Bush's hand.
