Lott has ruined us as a party for decades to come, until this episode passes out of popular memory. Even worse was the lack of screaming moral outrage from Republicans. Even now. He should be made to leave the Senate entirely, 50-50 be damned. Political concerns were the reason Clinton was not convicted too. And this whole brothers-in-the-Senate thing always goes too far. The gentlemanly tradition. I spit on the gentlemanly tradition that keeps Lott's ass in the Senate.

Yoo bad in these hard times, that principle has to be bypassed in favor of pragmatism. The attack on Lott was meant to change the political balance of power, the attack against Clinton, would have only changed the man.

I take it you would like to see Daschle continue as majority leader of the Senate.
