Trent Lott is back after "little bump"

[Jimreaper007]

Taken from article:

Lott's demise after six years as majority leader and Republican leader was self-inflicted. At Sen. Strom Thurmond's 100th-birthday party Dec. 5, 2002 -- a month after the Republicans reclaimed control of the Senate from the Democrats -- Lott noted Thurmond's 1948 run for president on the anti-civil-rights "Dixiecrat" ticket and said that "we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years" had Thurmond won. Lott insisted he was just trying to flatter the old man, but once the line received widespread media attention it triggered a national furor.

Should Trent Lott be allowed a second chance on any political stage after his self induced meltdown. If he made those comments in 1962 they would have caused little issue, but 2002 is a problem. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I put other because I would love Trent to come back to the limelight of the GOP. Delay is going to be gone soon and we need another whipping boy.

I voted OTHER, meaning I really don't care what they do with Trent Lott. He was raked over the coals by GOP-ers for not ramming thru all of Bush's right-wing agenda, but now that they've seen the Senate under Frist, they realize they had it better than they thought under Lott. Fact is, Senate Majority Leader is a crappy job. It's tough as hell to push things thru the Senate because of its rules and because it is filled with 100 egomaniacs who all believe THEY should be Majority Leader--or President. That stuff about Lott's racism never got me worked up much. Of course he's a racist. We've known that for years and the national media covered it up. Heck, when Lott made his famous remarks about Thurmond's 1948 campaign the national media was there and virtually none of them saw fit to report it. Liberal bloggers are the ones who picked up the story and spread it around and then some right-wing bloggers followed suit. The national media only reported on it after it had been kicking around the political blogosphere for a couple of weeks.
