Playpen still playing with old rattles

Confirming its infantile nature, the playpen-bound Republican faction in the US Senate elected as its Whip the confirmed racist Trent Lott, who was only a short while back booted out of the majority leadership of that "august" chamber for his remarks praising the longtime SC racist Strom Thurmond, on the latter's 100th birthday, with the observation that the country wouldn't have a lot of the problems it does if it had done as the segregationist Thurmond wanted. I suppose there are still enough reactionaries in the Republican party for this refusal to find integration positive to be considered something positive itself.
Babies in playpens have no business governing anyone.
And this playpen daily proves how dangerous it is and how opposed to human rights it remains.
