A Pathetic, Desperate Man
How shaming it must be for Trent Lott to go on a Black network and apologize to the very people he despises. Imagine Hitler going in front of a Jewish audience and saying ""The important thing is to recognize the hurt that I have caused, and ask for forgiveness and find a way to turn this into a positive thing and try to make amends for what I've said and for what others have said over the years,"
Asked for his views on affirmative action policies, Lott said, "I'm for that," even though he has voted against affirmative action legislation.
"Across the board?" Gordon asked.
"Absolutely," Lott said
Those must've been the hardest words a man has had to ever say.
He stands defiance about the meaning of his words though. "You can say it was innocent but it was insensitive at the very least, and repugnant, to be quite frank."
You keep telling yourself that Trent and the nation might one day believe it.
