For the 100th time, this charade IS NOT ABOUT LOTT. Lott is irrelevant, even to the Dems, who know he'll roll over to them whenever they want. It is not about Lott, it is not about racism. It's about destroying the president and getting their RAT of choice into the WH in '04.
Very good, Grasshopper. Now you may go.
It never was about Lott. These Democrats are possessed with one of the great moral failings of our time: situational ethics.
What they do depends on the bind they're in: it has very little to do with right or wrong. They don't give a rat's ass if Byrd was a racist, nor do they care that Clinton raped Juanita Broderick and got away with it. All they care for is power.
These people would vote for Hitler over George Bush, such is their devotion to their partei.
So let's leave Trent alone for awhile. Give him a stay of execution. The time for the Senate Republicans to install Santorum or some other figure will come.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
