<p>December 14, 2002 -- Sen. Trent Lott still doesn't get it.</p>
<p>Yesterday he offered up yet another dose of contrition for the inanity he pronounced a week ago.</p>
<p>But it won't fly.</p>
<p>"I want to say this about my state," Lott said. "When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either."</p>
