Meet the Press (via AMpol) re: Lott's Rhapsody to Good Old Lynching Days


Tim then turned to Trent Lott's unconscionably racist salute to Thurmond on his 100th birthday -- then said that Jesse Jackson
labeled Lott a "segregationist" in a call this morning to NBC as he called for his resignation as Majority Leader. Broder made a
longwinded answer before saying Lott blew it. Novak said this was just Lott winging it at a birthday party -- it was no big sin, and
it's ridiculous for Jackson to call for his resignation.

Wow! We can't wait for Bob to say that Rick Kahn asking Democrats to support Wellstone's positions at a public memorial tribute
to Wellstone as no major sin. Klein skewered Novak for in effect blaming the media. Novak kept whining, "But it was his birthday!"
