" There are calls now for the ouster of Trent Lott

as the Senate Republican leader. I say let him

stay. He's a direct descendant of the Dixiecrats

and a first-rate example of what much of his

party has become.

" Keep him in plain sight. His presence is

instructive. As long as we keep in mind that it

isn't only him. "
