Recognizing an error

In today's world, things are ever changing. That's why it's necessary to become adaptable to those changes. The more you are able to adapt, the better prepared you are to become a leader of some sort, whether it be a boss, a manager, head writer for some stupid sitcom on CBS (How I Met Your Mother is not funny), or minority leader in the Senate.

But, you also need to be able to realize you've made a mistake. Which is exactly what happened in the Senate today.

You see, Trent Lott used to be the majority leader in the Republican controlled Senate, until four years ago he made some racially insensitve comments. CNN is only describing him being 'ousted' from the position, so I'm not really sure if he was voted out, or stepped down or what.

But, he's back. With a vengeance. You see, today the Republicans realized that, you know what? fuck racially insensitive comments. Trent Lott won the position of second in command to minority leader for the Senate.

Republicans give a big fuck you to all of those people are too racially sensitive. Basically, this is like saying, 'yeah, he made racially insensitive remarks in the past, and he lost his job for it. Since we can't vote for that prick Rick Santorum for this position now, let's get the next biggest prick. Wait, what?? We've got one that used to be majority leader? Shit yeah! Jackpot!'

I for one couldn't be happier. I mean, Republicans get a bad rap. Just because they're always making racially insensitive comments, and giving tax cuts to the rich, and in general just being massive dicks doesn't mean that they're bad leaders. I mean, you have to give them the opportunity to prove that they're terrible leaders. And don't worry, they will.

So kudos to the Republican senators. They'll show all those bastards who can be racially insensitive. But my question is what is going to happen when Lott makes more racially insensitive remarks? Sidenote: He's a Senator. It's not his job to 'represent the people who voted for him'. And if he is doing it, then obviously only white rich people are voting for him. But I digress. Anyways, if Lott makes more remarks, does he lose his job this time or get promoted? And, obviously, the Republicans don't care about the public outcry, causing them to LOSE THE SENATE.

Wise choice Republicans. This is exactly how you want to show the world you're changing your ways. Elect a dude who is probably racist. And then let's see that racist go on to run for President in 2008.

Shit, even for Republicans this is a stupid move.

(Note: I've never really selected a political party, and I'm definitely not going to now. It's just so much easier to play devil's advocate to both sides.)

(Second note: This has absolutely nothing to do with anything about this post, but I really think this video is crazy and wanted to post it)
