What about Trent Lott?
We need to be able to discern the difference between making an off-hand remark that gets blown out of proportion and saying something that reveals a deep character flaw or prejudice. With Lott, it's probably the latter.

Even with Lott, I suspect that that the Thurmond flap is still the former; looking at the context, I think he was thinking in terms of the economy and military rather than civil rights. But it's given a angle with which people have been able to bring up the other issues, which in this instance might be for the better. Though, as is true in most cases of regime change, there's always the chance that he might be replaced by someone worse. -- | jzitt@josephzitt.com http://www.josephzitt.com/ | | GPG: A4224EFA http://www.mp3.com/josephzitt/ | | == New book: Surprise Me with Beauty: the Music of Human Systems == | | Comma / Gray Code / VoiceWAVE Silence: the John Cage Discussion List |
apparently, this is hardly the first time Lott became "caught up in the moment" with his words. http://www.npr.org/ramfiles/me/20021220.me.04.ram --dk On Fri, 20 Dec 2002, Joseph Zitt wrote:
