OMG they need to hound her @$$ to kingdom come for that crap.

Call Senator Nickles, she should at least be censured(sp)

I think the appropriate action is that she should be removed as incoming Ranking Member on the Transportation Subcommittee. Those comments are not befitting anyone in a leadership position in the United States Senate.

At least that lines up with the "punishment" for Trent Lott.

Consider her official statement on the Trent Lott affair:

Statement on Senator Trent Lott’s Comments

For Immediate Release: December 11, 2002

"Like all Americans, I was disturbed by Senator Lott's comments. They were offensive, hurtful and wrong. Worst of all, they do not appear to be isolated remarks.

At a time when our country should stand as one, Senator Lott's comments serve only to divide.

We must continue to be a nation where people are judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

Americans deserve leaders who will stand up for the civil rights of all citizens and help our nation to move forward."
