Show me where Byrd has made a racist comment in the last 5 years. He has used the "N" word in recent years, though I think it was more than 5. I figure you picked 5 years for that reason - was it 6 years? Besides, Lott was denied a leadership position; he wasn't kicked out of the Senate. And Majority Leader is a leadership position. Byrd's Klan connections was decades ago. It was decades ago that he filbustered against the civil rights bill and fought to keep a black off the SC. Would this be swept under the board if he were Republican? No. As for Studd, his playing around with a page came out nearly a decade later when people found out the page had become his significant other. So it wasn't a sexual dalliance like it was with Foley but a serious connection. While he shouldn't have been fooling with an underaged kid, it wasn't found out until well after the fact. By that time, it would have been stupid to punish him esp. since he was in a long term relationship with the former page. I see - if a Democrat screws a teenage boy, he's just playing around ... fooling around ... but its okay if its a "serious connection". This is all proving my point.
