If a Republican, ie Trent Lott, had said something like this they would have been hung and quarted by Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the NAACP, the ACLU, and every liberal organization under the sun and then they would have found themselves shunned by their own party. But let a Democrat do it and it's all OK so long as it goes to make Bush look bad. What a bunch of hypocrits.
