If Strom Thurmond were alive today, he'd read that headline and, well, soil himself and die.

I don't necessarily agree with the headline, but that's humor for you...sometimes things are funny because they exaggerate or play on stereotypes.

Sen. Trent Lott, ousted from the Senate's leadership job four years ago because of remarks considered racially insensitive, won election to the No. 2 post Wednesday

Oh, but they won't tell you what it is. I will:

Lott provoked controversy when he declared at the Thurmond birthday celebration: "I want to say this about my state: When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years."

And what "problems" would those be Trent? Having to share your water fountain with a black?

(repeat of my redlighted headline)

If Trent Lott had just kept his leadership position, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years.

Why don't they just dig up Strom Thurmond.

Good jorb, stumby.

Has Trent Lott officially resigned from the KKK yet?

Funny how these congress critters work. Almost all of them have crooked backgrounds. Trent Lott is a borderline racialist [thanks Ali G!] making inflamatory racialist comments while the head R in the Senate. Murtha was involved in that Abascam. And John McCain was involved in the Keating Five scandal back in the 80's when he almost got convicted.

They get busted, so they just lay low for a few years, and then come back. Amusing.

Submitter once roundhouse kicked someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean.

I'm a bush basher and a democrat

I think the headline was funny

I wish trent lott was not a member of my govt.

I am a Republican.

Despite the fact that I wholly disagree with the statement, I truly applaud the humor.
