Flutterby™! : Trent Lott

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 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.
