Yeah, but he didn't "do it"
Even Tom Daschle came out and said he just made a mistake.
The perfect opportunity to return fire.
By "everybody does it", I meant "passing the buck."
I am probably going to get in trouble again but what the hey. Lott was doomed from the start. Once the charge of "racist" is placed into circulation there is nowhere for a republican leader to hide or no explanation that will be acceptable. The entire process was predictable because it is a tried and true strategy. Lott was latest in a long string of victories. Lott is gone and that is a good thing but what are we going to do the next time? Is Frist going to face the wrath of single-issue forces on abortion from the right AND the left? If so what have we gained?
