ANDREW SULLIVAN SAYS TRENT LOTT MUST GO:

Why are the Republican commentators so silent about this? And the liberals? (Josh Marshall, to his credit, states the obvious. And Bill Kristol, to his great credit, expressed disbelief.) And where’s the New York Times? Howell Raines is so intent on finding Bull Connor in a tony golf club that when Bull Connor emerges as the soul of the Republican Senate Majority Leader, he doesn’t notice it. And where’s the president?

Or at least Karl Rove, who ought to see the handwriting on the wall.

UPDATE: “Good for Andrew,” writes Josh Marshall, who, like me, is mystified by Lott’s response so far.
