why didn't somebody tell me what was going on with trent lott? i'm buried in books over here and not watching the news, but this is top-notch entertainment, here, watching the guy back-pedal and try not to implode.
I love the way Republicans are pretending he simply mispoke. As Michael Kinsley says "A gaffe is when a politician tells the truth." The truth in this case being that Lott in fact did admire the segregationist policies of Thurmond.
oh, this is unbelievably embarrassing for them. how's he going to get away with not resigning? (but i say keep him in office as long as possible for maximum damage to the party, keep them way off message, and then let him resign -- once the dems have a decent economic plan in place.)
