Trent Lott Was Swiftboated!!!

You know, before swiftboated was even a word.

It is a feeling that is generated though for those who somehow agree with new Civil Rights leader John Cornyn's ridiculous opinion that Reid's comments (from almost two years ago by the way) were way more harmful than Lott's infamous support and praise of racist Strom Thurmond.

"Frankly, I don't expect Sen. Reid to resign. What this is about is his hypocrisy and the hypocrisy of folks on the other side when Trent Lott said something that was far more innocuous than the racially tinged comments that Sen. Reid made," Cornyn said this morning on MSNBC.

I don't know what was more impressive in this interview from Cornyn. His ability to use the word "innocuous" or his ability to somehow show himself more of an idiot that he already is.

But don't thank Chuck Todd and Savannah Guthrie (on their debut show today) for giving this sad cowboy the platform to first explain his "Reid should resign" comments.

Thank Mark Halperin and John Heilemann for their "court jester" TMZ wannabes.
