Dubya is the leader of the G.O.P., too bad he couldn't reign in Lott, (RR had no trouble with him), without using this as an excuse to suddenly get tough.
I agree.
We missed a big opportunity here. A nationwide forum on race and yet another chance to highlight their total and complete issue vacuum.
But, that was last week. This week we need a new SML.
I'm wondering if they're getting over this. I agree that early moves were tentative and gun-shy after years of getting bashed on anything the Democrats chose to be outraged about. But the public reaction has been tepid, and this is causing Democrats to backtrack a little, and Republicans to perhaps be a little more assertive.
