p> COUNSELING TRENT br> Re: The Washington Prowler's Lott in Deepest Doo-Doo : /p> p>How many of the liberal media, the Democrats and the Black Caucus called for the resignation of Byrd after he used the n-word on national television, not once but twice? I think Lott is not up to the job of Majority Leader, but the hypocritical statements and race rage of the left is ridiculous. br> -- D. Schwartz br> San Diego, CA /p>

I don't know if Trent Lott is a racist or not. I don't care that he has one of the worst hair pieces on Capitol Hill. (I used to think it favored a carpet sample until I saw something remarkably like it tumping over garbage cans in the alley behind my house one night last week.) And I tolerate the ambiguity occasioned by the fact that he was a cheerleader in college (yes, a cheerleader -- I'm not making this up). But I swear, sometimes I don't think the man has enough intelligence to pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel.

p>Now is a great time for Senate Republicans to throw him overboard and blame it on lefty whiners. But as Republicans almost never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity, it probably won't happen. Too bad. br> -- Larry Thornberry
