It was an amusing line, he got that apparently while on the "K Street" set with Carville, who should write more one-liners. I don't know that Dean claimed it was his own line. The Trent Lott / MLK comparison was a reference to the flap about Lott saying if a racist had won the presidency in 1948 "we wouldn't have all these problems today". Altho' Lott tried to say that meant problems with defense spending, to most people that meant "uppity Negroes". Dean defends his statement on speaking about race on "This Week", and did it pretty well. The others speak gingerly, and Dean speaks forthrightly, having had personal experience in racial protests and workplaces.
