YOU re-read. If you understood my response you'd know I follow your point. But obviously I am going too fast for the pro-Lott contingent.
To spell it out for your ilk: George W. Bush is the answer you're expecting. (Without doing the research I'll assume for the sake of argument you are correct).
My point: I prefer the Senate Majority Leader handpicked by George W. Bush to the IDIOT Senate Majority Leader handpicked by the hapless Bob Dole, TO WIT, Trent Lott, Dole's equally hapless understudy.
Which is what I meant by MY response -- "You obviously prefer the twit handpicked by Bob Dole." So sorry my point was too subtle for you.
