Breaking: Trent Lott News Conference at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time

[Chad Fairbanks]

Now my pic makes no sense, and I look like a loon

And how, exactly, is that different from any other time? bwaaaaaahahahahahahahaaa ;0)

[OldFriend]

Johnny McCrazy has insisted that Lott must have a press conference and what Johnny demands Johnny gets.....or else he's switching. SICKENING.............and one of these days McCain is going to pay for his backstabbing ways.

[cactusSharp]

well then (and thx) care to comment on my point ????

[Mo1]

I agree .. but reality is .. he is toast

[Chancellor Palpatine]

You suck.

ROFLMAO

I knew somebody was going to say that.

[SerpentDove]

>>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.<<

Isn't it interesting that Lott has said what he "didn't" mean, but given opportunity after opportunity, he has never explained what he "did" mean??

[ken5050]

Question for ya...is Jesse still ministering to Bubba?

[Chad Fairbanks]

Heh heh heh

[ewing]

Wow, Rove and the RNC ARE freaking geniuses if they can call off the Sharpton dogs and get an endorsement on race realtions relating to Lott in one day.

Difficult, but not impossible.

[MeekOneGOP]

Sounds good to me, FRiend ! We shall see.....

[MJY1288]

I hope Trent Lott walks out to the podium and announces he has only one thing to say, Then he steps to the right of the podium, turns around and drops his pants, bends over and shines them the moon

[Chad Fairbanks]

Just oray Barney Fwank isn't in the room...

[Kerberos]

"of course they're saying he's not stepping down, but he is, he HAS to. "

Then again couldn't he just say that he is not going to run for Senate Majority Leader for the next term?

[Mo1]

He needs to omit the, "I am the son of a sharecropper" garbage as he did in his first apology

I couldn't believe he said that ..

Fox also reported that Mississippi main newspaper is calling for him to resign because he is failing them in their State

He's toast

[ken5050]

Text of Lott's statement:

Because of several serious medical conditions, on the advice of my doctors I have decided NOT to seek the strenuous position of Senate Majority Leader. I am suffering from a severe case of brain farts, and a near terminal case of advanced foot-in-mouth disease..

[Marc Poor]

And then says: "Integrate this with your lips!

[concerned about politics]

I hope it's nothing but an apology.
Steping down because of twisted logic would simply energize the left to no end. It would boost their energies and their politics of personal destruction propaganda.
Who will they choose for the next victim of their hate?
Lott should NOT cave to democrat attacks. Never.
Later, he can resign in exchange for a stronger conservative leader, but not now. It would be even dumber than letting them make him into a fictious racist!
Never cave to democrats after nothing but revenge. Expose them instead.

[FBD]

"Lott is going to reveal/discuss the new surgical procedures used in getting a pair of size 10 cowboy boots removed from his butt"

LOL!
How about that size 17 clown shoe in his mouth?

[Sub-Driver]

The Friday 5pm announcements were a standard in the Clinto years.

[concerned about politics]

This sounds series.

Vey series!
