Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

The Instapundit thinks right-leaners are more upset with Lott than left-leaners. Stipulating this (I haven't really noticed), I offer the following possible reason: having Trent Lott as majority leader is better for the Democrats than for the Republicans.
Did I say that? I'm sorry -- I'm just paying tribute to a remarkable man. Actually, my main reason -- as a Republican -- for being more irritated than if Robert Byrd had made the comment is that this is how the Democrats love to characterize us. It's embarassing when one of the key figures in our party helps them out.
