I cannot help thinking that this story is not over-That Republicans will hear Sen. Lott's words quoted at them again and again in the coming months. I for one do not believe Trent Lott is a racist or segregationist. My guess is a speechwriter gave him note cards with a few jokes, and when Lott finished reading them, he launched himself into what he probably intended to be nothing more than a big squirt of greasy flattery. But that's not what came out of Lott's mouth.
