Well, they backed the wrong horse. Look on the bright side; he may be a jackass with possible racist leanings, but at least he was an effective politican. The Dems only had Daschle.Originally posted by DinoDoc

If **** Armey could hang on to his position after his bout of mental diareaha, I doubt that Lott will be given the boot. But this is Washington after all.Originally posted by Guynemer

Way to go on a limb

I'd like to see Chuck Hegel get the job, and he might too, being close with Bush (and also, interestingly being close with McCain).“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.â€

And yet George W. Bush is a college graduate and yet too stupid to be a racist. Hmmmm.... I'ld say educated and intelligence don't necessarily equate if your gonna hold that George is an idiot.Originally posted by Sava

I always thought 'educated' and 'racist' were mutually exclusive...and that 'racist' and 'idiot' were synonymous."Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

My point exactly.
Therefore I wonder how someone can be too stupid to be a racist."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

Well, I saw the press conference, Lott handled it ok until the end, when some guy working for Al Sharpton started yelling stuff out, but it was hard to understand him.
Just my impression, but this matter looks dead, Lott basically said "I was trying to make the old guy happy, and ended up saying an incredible stupid and insensitive thing".
If the Dems keep pressing this, they are pretty much wasting thier time in my opinion.I believe Saddam because his position is backed up by logic and reason...David Floyd

Then you've clearly never heard of David Irving.
Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, Violet Trefusis, Vita Sackville-West- all of them have come out with some anti-semitic gems, for instance. And yet, all received better than average educations, and can't be assumed to be idiots.
Plenty of Afrikaaners, Americans, British, French, Japanese, Chinese, et al., all held (hold?) racist beliefs whilst simultaneously being educated to university level- the Japanese for instance, were held to be unsuited (by virtue of their race) to aerial warfare, or warfare in the jungle, and yet strangely did rather well at both.
Just yesterday I was watching footage of a black South African who was telling of how in the days of apartheid, he received music tuition from a white man, and was frequently stopped by police because it was assumed that a young black could not legitimately be carrying a violin case, as it was 'well known' blacks did not have the mental capacity to play such an instrument. He used to placate the police by playing Afrikaaner folksongs, saying that they wouldn't have appreciated his playing Bach anyway- which I thought was rather amusing.
Consider also the extent to which otherwise well-educated intelligent Germans would blind themselves to the illogicalities of Nazi science and racial beliefs; racism is really not the sole prerogative of the uneducated.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.
