Some time ago, calling for Lott to be forced out, I suggested that it would be "worth it" to use his Thurmond comments as a pretext. This was clarified to my brother in conversation a couple weeks ago, but I'd like to note here that I am somewhat bothered by the precedent of someone losing his job for this kind of reason, just as I'm bothered by Al Capone being selectively prosecuted for tax evasion. Any good fan of the rule of law should be a bit annoyed by both, but I guess some of my principles aren't absolute, i.e. priced at infinity.
