Funny, this news report says Lottie made similar comments two decades ago -- oh, but maybe that was "poorly worded" also. It is truly amazing how a party that CLAIMS to believe in personal responsibility always is the first to try to say their words were misinterpreted or taken out of context or didn't mean to say them, etc. As usual, the GOP hypocrisy continues with a bunch of shady politicians whose only real mistake in their mind was not any statement they made, but instead was that they are being held accountable for their demagoguery. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20021211/ap_on_go_co/lott_blacks_10
