I've stayed out of the Trent Lott thing because it seems to me that he was just another Southern Republican saying the sorts of things a Southern Republican![[Wiki]](/adbanners/lookingglass.png)
would be expected to say. Of course now the hollow attempts at apologies are grating on me. I tip my hat to Mike Rothstein over at FactoVision who wrote:
I'm sure this is reading too much into it, but is Trent Lott blaming liberal Jews for creating a furor over his comments to bring him down? (sixth paragraph)
And Harley Sorenson says that what Lott's really sorry about is that he got caught.

Lott's assertion he was "set up" because he's from MS, conservative, and Christian reminds me of another "conspiracy" that surfaced when another politician did something really stupid.
The truth is, of course, that these guys got caught being themselves.

I suppose he could be talking about liberal Jews, but he could be talking about Texan Hindus or West-Coast atheists.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
