Man I can't stop laughing at Red. It was just so on time. DAMN that was funny.

So when does BET grill Senator Robert Byrd? Red, you know?

 

[Walleye]

Well, if this spineless weasel is going to be our Senate Majority Leader, I fear for the Republican Party. Yes, the statement was taken out of context. Yes, he is an idiot. No, he didnt think before making that statement. Yes, Thurman is Cool. (who else can give a 24 hour long phillibuster?)

Now, if this is the way he's gonna be as our senate majority leader, then he sure as hell better step the hell down. If this is what he really is saying, then tomorrow i am going to send him a letter explaining what a gutless loser he is.

and yes, i am going to sign it "Another Member of the VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY." Well, either that or "Red Blooded Republican."

I think the American public, guided by the news media, make far too much out of what politicians say. It is only action that i am concerned about. (well, that and lying)

Hey leave Red alone.

He just provided one of the best responses to a post I have ever read here.

Premium Gas, $1.49 a gallon

A night at the movies for 2, $30

A trip to Disneyland, $1500

Red's repsonse to Tominator PRICELESS

Because he probably didnt know the full history of Strom Thurman's Career before going up to speak. what did his aide's breifing to him consist of? The same thing that was in the video that was ran on Strom's birthday party. a completely positive image. he wasnt told any subjects to stay away from.

Now, before you answer, tell me this. Did you even watch Strom's Birthday Party? I did. "In .... he ran for the Presidency as a Third Party..." It never tells you which.

Actually, now that i think about it, he made the statement after the video. he may never have been breifed at all.

Yes Thurman is a great guy, and I'm sure he is full of meaningless "red blooded" rhetoric too.

Although I'm not watching, it is rather humerous that a channel that is only on the air because it cries racism everytime it's ratings say it should be gone and the comedy broadcast on BET are as racist as anything I've ever heard, has the gaul to grill Lott about a statement taken out of context.:|

ditto

tritto
in to just say something different.

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME HE SAID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He said it about 20 years ago as well!!!!!

And he's the Senate Majority Leader. If he doesn't know what the hell he is talking about, he needs to keep his mouth shut...but that is not the case here b/c he knew full and well what he was saying.

LOL!! I don't even think that Strom was "watching" or even "there"

I bet that Jesse Helms is behind Trent Lott 100%

Once again I ask, when is BET going to interview Senator Robert Byrd??? Or at the very least, when is Sheila Jackson Lee and John Conyers going to call him out??? I find it quite interesting that he has been very quiet during this whole thing. He is not usually lost for words.

 

[BaliBabyDoc]

He was an idiot for going on, and I thought that the instant I heard this. Of course he is going to be fried, and no matter what he says, someone can always take something he says and use it against him. What a foolish thing to do.

Lott could explain what he meant which would either confirm or refute the accusations against him. He refuted the accusations but in doing so he's basically disavowed most of his past and endorsed a future that . . . umm is hard to believe. This guy has to be Paul Wellstone re-incarnated for that interview to make any sense.

The Senator from Mississippi didn't know about MLK in 1983 (while he was in the House). I'm sure Mississippi was an oasis where little black kids and little whites were arm in arm singing cum ba yah. It's shame the rest of the South couldn't enjoy such bliss. That whole Mississippi Burning movie must have been an Oliver Stone delusion.

Why are you trying to pass the buck? Byrd isn't the one on "trial" here. Byrd isn't the one that made an ass out of himself a couple of weeks ago.

Byrd's actions today have no correlation to his actions years ago. OTOH, Lott's actions today speak correlate quite positively to his actions from years past.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

In theory BBD, you are right. This assumes a neutral interviewer. I doubt BET is using one of those. This is just the same as the defendant taking the stand. Sometimes it is needed, but otherwise it is almost always a bad idea.

 

[flavio]

People watched Strom's birthday party? What a sad existence.

Oh come on . . . who REALLY wants to watch BET twice in a month? But I say next month bring the old Grand Wizard to the set. Unlike Lott, Byrd is probably (publicly) proud of his past so he might even pull out the old robe. I see pay-per-view . . . Jerry Springer style. BET might earn enough money to support their poor quality programming for the next year.

Typical diversionary tactic, look around for someone else that may haave done something wrong as if that makes everything ok.
