This just in!
Bunnypants speaks, from in front of another taxpayer-funded backdrop. From the Conservative Nooze Network:

...Bush sharply rebuked incoming Senate Majority Leader/insensitive racist bonehead/national embarrassment Trent Lott for his comments, saying any suggestion that segregation was acceptable is "offensive and it is wrong."

Bush's comments, delivered to an audience of charities in Philadelphia, came one day after Lott said he would not give up his leadership post, despite the furor over his remarks.

"Recent comments by Sen. Lott do not reflect the spirit of our country. He has apologized and rightly so. Every day that our nation was segregated was a day our nation was unfaithful to our founding ideals," Bush said. "Was that OK, Karl?"

The president did not call for Lott to step down, but other conservatives say Lott must offer a fuller explanation of his comments, despite his apology.
