I respectfully disagree. This isn't a Clinton moment.

Lott's taken responsibility, denied the awful charges, apologized for his stupidity and has already made arrangements to work directly with the black community.

I agree with your post. He's doing a nice job defending himself and making amends for any misperceptions.

As much as I'd like to see Lott replaced as Majority Leader, the controversy over this statement shouldn't be the thing that ousts him.
