Juan Williams actually said that he sorta bought Lott's apology, I believe it was #2. However, Trent didn't show any real, real, emotion so Juan wasn't totally convinced. I take that to mean that Senator Lott didn't bite his lip and shed tears. I am grudgingly beginning to admire Clinton's astute reading of the squisy minded media. He knew how to play the game alright. As for republicans who should know better than to buy into the lynching being directed at Senator Lott I say you are making a huge political miscalculation. Don't think I nor others who value loyalty will soon forget this spinless cooperation with the lefties. I trust that republicans who aspire to political office are taking note of the Lott treatment by his own party and watch their backs accordingly. RATS are a known quantity. Republicans are the ones to look out for.

Caught a bit of Armstrong Williams on BET today going throught the drill - Lott had obviously betrayed what was in his heart, secretly a segregationist, should resign, etc. etc. This is the same Armstrong Williams whom I used to watch a few years ago on the old NET rhapsodizing about Strom Thurmond, who apparently befriended and mentored him when he first came to DC; back then Williams couldn't seem to say enough about what a fine, compassionate man Thurmond was. Leaves me wondering - is Williams really a closet segregationist? If Thurmond was so helpful to Williams, isn't it possible he could have helped the country as Lott suggested he would if elected president? Why when a black conservative praises the likes of Thurmond is it considered appropriate homage, but when a white moderate does so, it suddenly becomes a tipoff to surreptitious racism? Time for this longtime 'pub to look around for a new party.......
