The longer this thing goes on, the more ridiculous it seems, and the less I think he should step down.

"There were also private discussions about whether party elders-perhaps former GOP leaders Robert Dole of Kansas and Howard Baker of Tennessee--should approach Lott soon to ask him to step aside for the good of the party.

Never happen. Both have class and people with class don't kick someone when they are down --especially over a thought crime. Warner puffed himself up when he married Elizabeth Taylor and never got over it. Witness Ollie North.

Trent, I guess it really is all about you...(sigh)

Maybe the recent admissions that you really want to be America's first black Senate Leader could land him the committee chair on the NEW Slave Reparations Comittee...

[Abcdefg]

What are they gonna do, load up on Bob's viagra and teach Trent a thing or two?

[Cicero]

Shades of Richard Nixon. They sent a delegation like this to him, and he resigned. Needless to say, the Democrats did NOT do this to clinton. Nor should the Republicans agree to do it to Lott. Why on earth should Republicans act as hatchet-men for Democrat liars and extortionists?

[Non-Sequitur]

They said Senator Nickels and others are working on a 'soft landing' scenario to encourage Lott to step down under face saving conditions, which could include another prestigious Senate office.

They can't offer Lott a committee charimanship without angering whoever was in line for that post before all this blew up. So what can they offer him except President Pro Tem of the Senate? And why would Lott accept a figurehead post, just because he's fourth in line of Presidential succession? I just can't see Lott doing that. He'll resign and he'll do it next year, and the governor of Mississippi can appoint a replacement.

[Darlin']

Lott is a drowning man. His senate collegues are trying to extend a straw and a chance to preserve whatever, if any, shred of dignity he might have left. He ought to grab it but being the fool that he is, I doubt he will.

[My2Cents]

Send the ghost of Barry Goldwater.

[dfwgator]

Time to send Tom Hayden to make Lott an offer he can't refuse.

[putupon]

Senior GOP senators including veteran John Warner (R-Va.)

they ought to run that RINO off too.

[muleskinner]

Just heard McGovern is defending Lott. "He shouldn't step down", or some such comment.

Well, if McGovern is saying that, It really IS "time for Lott to go".

[PLK]

No wonder Lott dropped the ball on Clintoon's impeachment. It takes one to know one. He is clearly an egomaniac who will stick this out to the bitter end before placing the good of his party and country first.

He is only a liability to the Pubs at this point. Gotta go.

[what's up]

Lott had made lots of these jokes over the last years to Thurmond. The Dems just jumped on this one for political expediency.

The President should have learned this lesson when they jumped on his DUI and defended Lott instead of cracking on him so hard.

I think this was a mistake on Bush's part.
