Trent Lott on CNN: "...men, women, or minority to fill the job."
Edited on Thu Oct-27-05 08:40 AM by tabasco
Did anybody else catch this? When asked by CNN reporter who should Bush nominate to be on the USSC, Trent Lott, "I think the President should look across the whole country to find the best man, woman, or minority, to fill the position." Apparently he didn't catch his mistake because he said it the same way again!

This was at approx. 0930 Thurs a.m.

7. Do you think he cares what he says? Who's going to do anything about it?
Well, we can get a lot of people to complain about it on TV. They will be attacked as "nuts." But then again what do you expect out of Trent Lott? He is probably tense because he is late to a white supremacist meet-up.

9. He's not used to including minorities except as other.
Not enough time on task as we say in social services.

12. Why not just pick the best American?
But I guess the Republican Culture of Corruption could not stand for that...

16. Jim Crow on his mind?
During the segregation era, having three restrooms
was not uncommon (men, women, and colored).
Trent Lott is incorrigible.

17. Adherents of that culture are alive and well.
I'm reading about the run-up to the Civil War. It seems we are still divided along the same lines we were then. The republicans have exploited the basest instincts of man to further their corporate agenda. IMO, this was not an innocent misstatement, but an indicator of the inner beliefs of a Mississippi Senator.

19. He meant Untermench...
The man is a plantation playboy type dip shit from a GOOD FAMILY. They grow them all over the place like him. How anyone as stupid as that man, can be in the position he has been in in our government is beyond me. He's as silly as W.

He needs to go sit on that front porch of his and STFU!
