The saddest thing about Trent Lott’s troubles is that his friends are deserting him not because they thought what he said was wrong, but simply because he’s become a political liability. I still think this will all be quickly forgotten – unlike “1984,” in our society today we don’t need Winston Smith to erase our memories for us.

:sigh: You’re probably right. And I thought that Powell and Rice were making a stand about a domestic issue for once. Coming from the deep south myself, I was not surprised at all at Lott’s remarks. Hell, I hear things like that every day from friends, neighbors, and relatives (no, not ALL of them). Quite honestly, he was just being a good-old-boy. I don’t think he should resign for saying what he believes, however stupid it is. Of course, he IS a prominent Republican…. You know, I’m not sure what he should do.
I fucking love it! What comes around goes around. And now dear Trent is on receiving end of all the US’s political bullshit. And now he knows how it feels and how quickly it all comes down.
One down, 500 to go.
He was a cheerleader. A. Cheer. Leader.
Damn racist pansy in a wig.
