The Elephant in the Corner
Why is everyone acting so surprised about the racist bedrock beneath much GOP rhetoric? This stuff has been going on for decades. Jesse Helms leveraged that truth into thirty years in the Senate. Now Josh Marshall wants to know how far the post-Helms, post-Thurman, post-Lott housecleaning will go: "Should Ashcroft get a pass for some of the same stuff that's ending Lott's career?"
Meanwhile, Paul Krugman writes about the GOP's other open secret: "prominent Republicans have a soft spot for theocracy." [EdCone.com]

Excellent post at Body and Soul using Billie Holiday's song 'Strange Fruit' to provide a structure to discuss l'affaire Lott and code words like "states' rights".

Joe Conason's Journal. A Lott more? It's time to revisit John Aschroft's connections with the neo-Confederates. [Salon Headlines]
In fact, Ashcroft is worse than Lott, since he is setting himself up as part of Bush's Politburo to run the country in the place of the people, who can't be trusted to always do what Cheyney and Ashcroft want.
