But, having done the right thing with Lott, the GOP has gained some slack on the issue.
Not with the liberals or their media or the "civil rights leadership", but with the folks legitimately offended by Lott's comment -- both black and white.

Maynard Jackson was pushed aside for Terry McAuliffe. Carl McCall's money was diverted to McBride in Florida. The Minnesota Supreme Court justice, who is a formal football star and black (name escapes me) was passed over in favor of Fritz Mondale. Harold Ford was not only passed over for Nancy Pelosi, but Pelosi made a good try at humiliating him in public.
Excellent analysis of govbeancounters post, MissMarple.
Why oh why won't we hear one of the stuffed shirt GOP Senators on todays talk shows point any of this out?
