[Rome2000]

Never reward bad behavior.

Its not rewarding bad behavior by the democrats, they WANT him to stay.

We can't afford to let Lott become the new Newt Gingrich, they can't attack Bush but they sure as hell can villify Lott and the GOP as racists for the next 10 years.

His inept handling of an initially very manageble situation has proved Lott doesn't have the skill to be Majority leader, case closed.

Jackson and his ilk have held democratic leaders hostage for years.

They must be salivating at having the SML (pubbie) under their thumb.

Soon co tome: Stupid Lott tricks. Heel. Beg. Roll over. Play Dead. Vote for Affirmitive action. Vote for tax increases. Vote for reperations.

And come 2004, they'll turn on him, massacre him, and tarnish the entire party just in time to win the elections.

He's radioactive.
