Trent Lott to resign as Senate Majority Leader
What is sad (/amazing/scary) is how close our country is to such a shameful part of our past. Since the comments were made at the birthday party, many little tidbits have been dredged up about Mr. Lott. Prior comments along the same lines, his voting record. (He didn’t vote in favor of creating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, voted no on the Voter Rights Act)
Maybe this will move our democratic process forward. Maybe people will become better informed about who they are voting for. We can hope.
