New Tone and tenor.
I'm not even remotely supporting him as the Rep Majority Leader, because as you are aware he has a tendency to act and then think...and since he's not all that bright...well the problems ensue from there...

However, the furor surrounding this statement and the immediate cry of racism to me are alot more suspect than the statement itself. The hue and cry come from those who use racism for gain. They have no interest in the truth of the statement at all.

At this point, Lott should step down. Whether he meant it as a racist statement or not, the honorable thing to do is walk. But we all know there is no honor inside the beltway.

An interesting hypothesis for why all of the furor

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?

I decided to head out to the cofcc's website. (Part of the damnation of Lott is that he made a speech for them and they're supposed to be a fairly rascist organistion.)

The catch is that their website is down. (No surprise there.) It is in google's catch.

But, do some digging. Ignore the "Support Lott" articles on the front page. There's a public forum.

The oldest post is Dec 11, 2002.

hmm... head over to NIC. cofcc was registered 2001 (weird, but okay). Last update, yesterday.

hmmm.
