Just in time, he gets an opportuny .-- One of his boys makes a stupid mistake in speaking (reveals his true racist colors). Rove exults, Bush can use this! Bush comes out in favor of whatever this idiot came out against. Or vice versa. I can see these thoughts forming in Karl Rove's head (soon to be forcefully injected into Bush's noggin) "Bad press for you, Mr. Lott, your political life is over, mine will grow by capitalizing on your idiocy." Kind of crappy though for the stalwarts, when they realize that the Bush team definition of loyalty only means loyalty for Bush, not loyalty back. The bonus for the non-Republicans? See below. We still get rid of Trent Lott as majority leader. I'm not cynical, am I? Why should we ask our military to die for cheap oil when the rest of us aren't even being asked to get better mileage? -[link\|http://www.workingforchange.com/article.cfm?itemid=14107\|Molly Ivins]

He was probably a good political animal because: a) He probably had no convictions that he wouldn't pitch for a vote b) He would toe whatever party line that was required of him. c) He was too frigging stupid to have original (contradicting) ideas. When those who owned his skinny behind wanted racist, he was racist. It is now impolitic to be racist, so he is no longer racist. He probably believes that, at the time, it was the proper thing to do. Now it's not. No problem. A political animal that make serious political mistakes is roadkill. Either/all parties. This is just beltway evolution in action. No BFD.
