It's the same three-step process every time: 1) liberals make the accusation of racism against a Republican, 2) the Republican denies the charge and 3) the Republican agrees to sign on to the liberal agenda, hoping that in doing so he might prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that he is not a racist. The entire fiasco surrounding Trent Lott is only the latest example of this kind of Republican cowardice.

Bingo!

But it's probably too late. The mob has spoken, and Trent Lott has been forced out of his leadership role. Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah summed up what Republicans expect of Bill Frist, Lott's successor: "I think Bill has a kind of a more moderate record and a more moderate approach toward things, and I think that it's going to be very difficult to criticize him."

I wonder if the same people who were calling for Lott to step down are also adimately pro-life? After all, Lott was going to bring up a partial birth abortion bill; somehow, I doubt that's first on Dr. Frist's agenda.

I don't want to hear any whinning on this site from any actions (or in actions) on the new Majority Leader's part; you all who were calling for Lott's head deserve what you get.

"After all, Lott was going to bring up a partial birth abortion bill..."

ROTFLMAO!!!!!

You want to set the standard for the incoming SML based on what the outgoing one never got around to doing?
