And I didn't make a direct comparison between Dean and Lott. I made a direct comparison between Lott praising a segregationist and getting destroyed in the media and being demoted, and Chris Dodd praising Robert Byrd, a former leader of the KKK, and nothing coming of it.

We're talking about the double standard. If a republican had said something similar to what Dean said - like my Bill Frist hypothetical before - he'd be a political pariah.
