"When one of ours misbehaves, we usually take him to task, eg Richard Nixon and now Trent Lott."

You have chosen a strange analogy, Mr ModelBreaker - the actions of Nixon that led to his resignation and the comments made by Lott relative to Strom Thurmond's presidential run in 1948 are not analogous. Senator Lott apologized for his inappropriate remarks. We should let it drop there.

If you want to draw an analogy to Nixon, you need go no further than Ex-42 - but then listing all of Bill Clinton's illegalities, lies, traitorous acts and inappropriate behaviour so as to compare with Richard Nixon's one lie/coverup, in balance makes Richard Nixon's "offense" look like a rather mild misdemeanor. Bill Clinton is still reverenced by those on the Left.

Don't waste your time, the unholy marriage of the race-baiters and anti-Lott conservatives has already been consumated. They both smell blood and won't be satisfied until they they turn Trent Lott's stupid comments into cause for hangin' him high.
