Clearing the Holiday Air

Peace and Islam. Farewell Trent Lott and Patty Murray. Think Walker Percy. The Fighting French. Plus lots more.

(Page 2 of 8)

Lott’s apologies seem sincere, perhaps even overwrought. No charitable person should refuse to forgive Lott in his capacity as a human being. Nevertheless, he has demonstrated that he is not fit to lead the Republican party. Furthermore, by fighting on as long as he did to save his job, Lott demonstrated a greater interest in preserving himself than the principles the party is supposed to stand for. The supreme irony in this episode is that one of the party’s core principles, abolishing financial and educational entitlements based on race, will inevitably suffer.
