Lott said he wished, and still wishes, that a party that ran on a single-plank, segregationist platform had won the presidency, and that if it had our country would not have the problems it has now.
Dodd made very general comments about Byrd being a good guy. If Lott had said exactly what Dodd had said, but with "Thurmond" substituted for "Byrd," I wouldn't find it troubling. I wouldn't agree with it, but I wouldn't find it troubling.
