I just cringe at all the hyprocrisy in politics in > general. I too cringe at the hypocrisy in politics in general, but Lott's hypocrisy started AFTER he made the controversial remark. Anyone who thinks it was just "a statement meant to lift up someone at their milestone birthday party" will have to come up with another explanation now that it's been revealed that Lott said the exact same thing on at least two other occasions over the past 20 years (and no, they weren't Thurmond's 90th and 80th birthday parties!). But now he's reversed himself? Now he supports affirmative action after voting against it every chance he's had? Now he supports an MLK birthday holiday after voting against it? Now he "regrets" voting to deny blacks the right to vote in 1983? Yeah, right. _Chas_ Come to ... The CHASbah! http://thechasbah.blogspot.com **Go see BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE. It may change your life.**
