Today's Scriptural Reading is a little different. The Daily Show pointed out, both in its headlines and its Moment of Zen, Trent Lott's quote, when asked who the President should pick to replace Miers:
I want the president to look across the country and find the best man, woman, or minority that he can find.
Ok... The Trent Lott episode happened before I joined the realm of the blogger, but I know that it is one of the crowning moments which invested import upon the blogosphere. My only point is, if you are a guy who was so decimated by a controversy surrounding some fairly racist statements, and those statements led to you losing your position of leadership within your party, priority one should be learning to talk about race without sounding like you just returned from a trip to your 1960's Alabama.
