>>>Y'all know that if Trenty would have accepted his place in that olde tyme >"lott-ery" and spent some time with them folks that don't look all that much like (and thank the stars for that small favour -- that they don't), he's be a little more in the groove with his words. I think that the problem with Trenty is we're so used to him saying nothing in a hundred words or more and now he said something ... gotta give him an "E" for effort (but "E"s are right between "D"s and "F"s.

"Any suggestion that a segregated past was acceptable or positive is offensive and it is wrong," Bush said to loud and long applause in a speech about his faith-based agenda. "Recent comments by Sen. Lott do not reflect the spirit of our country," Bush said. Lott said Wednesday he made "a mistake of the head, not the heart" by saying last week the nation would have been better off if 1948 segregationist candidate Strom Thurmond had been elected president. He admitted the comment, made during a 100th birthday tribute to the South Carolina Republican senator, could be seen as offensive and asked for forgiveness. "He (Lott) has apologized and rightly so. Every day our nation was segregated was a day that America was unfaithful to our founding ideals," Bush said. "And the founding ideals of our nation and in fact the founding ideals of the political party I represent was and remains today the equal dignity and equal rights of every American." © 2002 Reuters <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
