I am sure some one will correct me if I am wrong, but didnt Lott just say that Sen. Thurmond should have won when he ran for president back in the 40's? Takeing into account that this was at a retirement party, MAYBE he was just trying to say something nice to the old man. I dont think that Sen. Lott meant any kind of racist seniments when he said that. I think he was just trying to be a little kiss ass.

A little off topic, but so what if Trent Lott and Strom Thurmond are complete unredemable racists? Strom Thurmond has been in politics since before most of us were born. He ran for president on a segragationists platform and the people of Mississippi keep voteing him into office as a senator. This can only mean 1 of 2 things ,

#1 Everyone in Mississippi is a card carrying racist

OR

#2 Thurmons personal opinions dont affect his job preformance and he tries to do what is best for his state.

I will let you decide which is which.
