Wednesday, December 11, 2002Re: My Two CentsEmmett, while this whole Lott thing may be blown out of proportion (especially by Gore, but when was the last time he said something rational), it neatly encapsulates part of the problem with Trent Lott: he's often politically stupid. The fundamental problem with his statement is that many minorities and white liberals believe that Republicans and conservatives, especially those from the South, still have a white sheet and hood hanging next to their Brooks Brothers suits in their closets. The reality of his statement only reinforces this false perception.I, for one, certainly hope this is the final straw for Lott. Since assuming the leadership post after Dole ran for president, Lott has been completely worthless. In addition to frequently saying stupid things, can you name one accomplishment of his? Instead, he has been rolled by the Democrats throughout his tenure. He combines the spinelessness of the Bob Michel years with the added bonus of borderline racist statements. It is time for him to go. Actually that time was about five years ago. Posted by Ryan at 11:06 AM Comments Post a Comment (we enforce our comments policy) |
