America’s news service, the Voice of America, carries the Bush vs. Trent Lott story to the world – but note the headline here: “Bush Rebukes Senate Leader Over Racially Sensitive Remarks.” Shouldn’t it be racially insensitive remarks?
Another sign of bad news for Lott – I get the RNC’s “eChampions” emails, and the latest one (Friday) prominently touted Bush’s rebuke to Lott (but said nothing about Lott’s apologies). When your own party is looking to get distance from you in its mailings to party faithful, that’s bad news.
