Truth is I "could" have said the same thing just based on the few years I spent working hotels, restaurants and a cruise ship. Most of the staff was black or hispanic. That's just the way it was. But that was 20 some years ago and things may have changed. I don't know. But I don't think I WOULD have said it.

And I'm not a politician; someone who has to speak to all peoples' concerns all the time. I'd expect a politician to exhibit a little more polish.

So, yeah, I'm disappointed he said it. I had to stop and shake my head. Do I think it approaches what Lott said a few months back? No, not for me. But, that has more to do with my opinion of Thurmond.
