I recall Torch dispelled rumors of his ending his candidacy. His press conference was just about discussing issues. Something happened, though, on the way to the microphone.

NOW President Says Trent Lott is Unfit to Lead Senate

December 12, 2002

"Sen. Trent Lott's racist and sexist comments are outrageous and his apology is insufficient," said NOW President Kim Gandy. "The latest revelations offer ample evidence that Lott is unfit to assume a leadership role in the Senate. He should step down as a candidate for Senate majority leader or the Republicans must select someone who appreciates the progress made in this country over the last 50 years."

At Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday celebration, Lott expressed support for the Senator's 1948 presidential campaign, run on the Dixiecrat platform which stood for "the segregation of the races and the racial integrity of each race." Lott suggested that if Thurmond had been elected president, the U.S. "wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years."

Reports now reveal that Lott made an almost identical remark about Thurmond at a rally for Ronald Reagan in 1980. "Feminists who are familiar with Lott's history and his record in the Senate are not surprised by his sentiments. What he sees as a lack of judgment, we see as a lack of character," Gandy said.

...... lack of character from people that kill babies? Hummm

Action Alert FROM NOW 11/8/2002 Tell the Judiciary Committee NO on Judicial Nominees November 8, 2002 Action Needed: The Judiciary Committee's plan to bring the nominations of Dennis Shedd and Michael McConnell to the floor for a vote must be derailed. There is NO reason why Sen. Leahy (D-Vt.), the current chair of the Committee, has to schedule this vote;

it is rumored that his reason is to give the outgoing Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.) a gift on his 100th birthday as he departs the Senate at the end of this session. Sen. Thurmond has been Judge Shedd’s sponsor, mentor and former employer, having had him on his staff years ago.

FOX says it's NOT a resignation. It likely will be a public apology?....

The time for apologies is over. If he wants to survive this at this late date, he needs to grow some cojones for once, and give a firm and complete explanation of what he DID mean with that statement.

By doing that, he should win back some of the respect he's lost, and, (in effect) tell his enemies to go to hell.

Wait a minute.

Isn't Sharpton meeting with Racicot today?

What if Lott was in on that meeting?

What if Sharpton shows up at this press conference to do two things: publicly accept Lott's apology and explanation and make it clear that Lott is repentant? Then, what if Rev. Al provides absolution for Lott and make it clear that it was he, Sharpton, who finally convinced Lott to "clear the air"?

Whatever occurs, this will be Trent's "come clean" moment where he clears the air and asks for forgiveness from the black community. This is his last chance, and you can bet that the WH told him he has to be perfect and sincere.

I am hoping that they have found a way to make a deal with Sharpton.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
