I'm not sure it's irony, but it's funny: The best quote in support of Lott so far: "I think we should not lynch him," Sen. Richard C. Shelby (Ala.) said on CNN's "Late Edition." "I believe right now that Lott would have the confidence of the caucus." A white senator...from Alabama...says "we"... should not lynch...a white senator...from Mississippi...who espouses racist beliefs ... and professes love and admiration for a segregationist white senator from South Carolina. What would any of them know anything about lynchings anyway?
