While I agree that Lott is a moron, I really do hope he isn't so much so that with all his butt kissing and bending over for them to stick it to him, that he doesn't hand the senate back to the Rats on a silver platter in feigned remorse for something irrelevant.

He won't if he immediately resigns as SML. That's what he should do -- otherwise the DemocRATS get the brass ring in 2004.

Who is Steve Emerson?

But if he is saying that if he steps down as majority leader he will leave the senate and actually does it, leaving the Rat governor of Mississippi to select a Rat replacement for Lott, the senate will be toast.

I'm not the least bit upset with Lott for what he said. I think it was just mindless words meant to compliment Strom Thurmond and nothing more. What I am upset with him, AND with other Republicans about, is allowing the Rats to make a big deal of it and to let Lott take the fall that they may opportunistically replace him as majority leader. While I agree he should be replaced, or at least should have been, I think it is reprehensible that they would use such a triviality to do it and if he steps down altogether, it may blow up in their faces. Either way, the Rats have already won. If he stays as leader now, he will be kissing their sorry butts and playing slave to the likes of Shiela Jackson Lee and Maxine Waters and any other black Rat that wants to hop on the slavemaster bandwagon, which will render him completely impotent as even a Republican, let alone majority leader.
