No Double-Standards Here

Just asking: If Trent Lott had to give up his leadership position because he said kind words about Strom Thurmond, would a Republican politician who called a Democratic rival a "faggot" be allowed to get off with a simple apology? I didn't think so. Where is the Human Rights Campaign when you need them?

But then again, a Republican president who was credibly charged with rape, sexual assault, and sexual harrassment wouldn't be given a pass by NOW, either.
