…Stupid comment. Move on.
The Dumbs have spent so much time for so many years saying so much dumber things (“It depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is”) and never been called to account for them that I guess I just don’t much give a shit anymore when a conservative says something stupid. At least Lott was never a Kleagle, like Robert Byrd is documented to have been.
That doesn’t mean I don’t agree that Lott ought to step down; I do. He had his time, it’s over, let’s find a new Majority Leader for the new century, preferably a Northern boy so I don’t have to listen to those damn good ol’ boy accents for a while (but not too northern…that way lies Daschle). But blowing his asinine remark about Strom Thurmond out of proportion is pretty low, even for some of the people who are doing it (mostly journalists from his own party, stabbing him in the back–typical).
[UPDATE: Damn. And I didn’t even read Emperor Misha’s take on this first.]

Yep. I’ll give a rat’s ass about what Lott said just as soon as the liberals give a rat’s ass about the fact that one of their own, the honorable (sic) Senator Byrd, is a former Klansman.
I also second the motion to find someone with a NON-Southern accent if and when they do replace Lott for a good reason. Gawd, I hate that drawl. (In case you’ve ever wondered, I don’t have a Texas accent because I wasn’t raised here, but in Missouri and Minnesota, so I have that perfect Midwestern non-accent. And the Southern accents drive me batshit.)
FWIW I removed a comment here from one ‘cdub’ because it made absolutely no sense in the context of this post. cdub, if you’re going to comment on my blog, first of all be literate, and secondly, try to stick to the topic at hand. (And if you don’t like that, tough; get your own blog.)
