The face of George Bush's Republican party. The man should resign, now.
"Hey, nothing wrong with holding a dog up there, unless the dog ate him, scared him with a dog," Lott said. When WAPT news anchorman Brad McMullan noted that a prisoner died at Abu Ghraib, apparently after a beating, Lott responded, "This is not Sunday school; this is interrogation; this is rough stuff."Really? Because Lott knows they were guilty? Funny, because 90% of the folks we were arresting ended up being let go as innocent.
Some of the prisoners "should not have been prisoners in the first place, probably should have been killed," he added.
Susan Irby, Lott's communications director, said Lott got an "incredibly positive" response to his remarks.Yeah, well, the interview was conducted in Mississippi. Not exactly America's most staunch defenders of the Bill of Rights.
Irby defended Lott's remarks about the dogs, saying there has been no conclusive evidence that they attacked anyone.Right, because, I mean, had there been a photo of a prisoner's leg with a chunk taken out of it by one of those dogs, I mean, that would be another story...
