Why is what Trent Lott said any worse than what Robert, KKK, Byrd, said? The media didn't do this to him! Al Sharpton tried to (and almost did) ruin a man's life by accusing him of raping a black child. I NEVER heard an apology for that!

I am NO fan of Trent Lott but, this is IGNORANCE on the part of the media to keep pounding away at the man for a SIMPLE mistake. I hate the double standard!!!

They never forced Byrd to defend himself in a press conference.
