Sen. Lott put this issue to rest with his press conference yesterday. Once he goes on BET (segregated TV), and blacks see how buddy-buddy Robert Johnson (founder of BET) is with Trent Lott, this will quiet down the civil rights groups. Blacks have a lot of respect for Mr. Johnson, much more than Jesse, Al, and Queasy, the three stooges of civil rights. I think this incident is actually going to strengthen Trent Lott's leadership position. His apology without ANY excuse yesterday was exactly what he needed to do. I have more respect for him now than before all this went down.

If you think the BET interview was favorable to Lott, and made him look good in AYBODY'S eyes, we must not have seen the same interview. It was an unmitigated disaster!
Lott came off as just what he is: a self-serving, transparent panderer.
