Byrd is really a racist although I doubt he has felt any real animosity toward black people for many years. I don’t know about Lott, but while I have a very low opinion of Lott, no fair person could possibily condemn him for a careless remark and ignore Byrd’s constant slips. But the lust for power sweeps away any chance of fairness. Lott should never have been knocked out of his leadership role for what he did and for Bush to have collaborated in this act was unseemly. Now he is reaping the benefit. Lott is not going to do one thing to help Bush.
Hey how about Al Gore? Have you read any of his White House history. He wouldn’t allow any Black Secret Service on his protection detail. The was also a book article done on Al Gore as a younger man of privilege and money. When his family would stop at a road side restaurant they would leave the Black nanny in the family car alone. So what if Fred Thompson played a movie role as a racist. Gore and Byrd are racists.
