Simple. In his hosannahs to Strom, Lott said that America would have been better off if a person running on an explicitly racist platform had won the presidency in 1948. Had Dodd said in greasing Byrd something like "it would have been great for America if Senator Byrd had become president during his term as Grand Imperial Wizard," then it would be the same. Since it's not the same, that means that it is different.
Now, if you want to say that Dodd shouldn't have praised Byrd at all because he is a pork-guzzling, pedantic blowhard, well that's another thing.
