You cleaned it up! What Lott really said was just a little earthier!

Actually, David Schippers did. I double checked his book to be certain of the quote.

You're both probably referring to another incident where Alaska Senator Ted Stevens told Henry Hyde in a meeting with the House Managers "Henry, I don't care if Bill Clinton raped and killed a nun on the steps of the Capitol, you're not going to get sixty votes."

Schippers' book Sellout should be required reading in every high school and college in America.

Before I posted, I looked it up in Schippers' book and confirmed the exact quote I posted (see pages 10-13).

You are right about the book though, it should be required reading. One of the most important facts that he stated was:

During the entire process he kept his doors open and extended several invitations to all members of Congress to view his evidence. Schippers was convinced that anyone who viewed the evidence, objectively, would vote in the affirmative to remove Clinton from office. Several Congressmen did so, and their minds were changed.

However, not one, not one single Democrat took him up on his offer. The Democrats had taken an oath, a sworn oath to perform one of the most solemn procedures allowed by the Constitution and they failed to perform their duty. They refused to look at the evidence.

That is one of several reasons why I will never vote for another Democrat.
