I find Trent Lott's "they set me up" comments amusing in general, but what really caught my attention was this statement:

"There are people in Washington who have been trying to nail me for a long time," Lott said. "When you're from Mississippi and you're a conservative and you're a Christian, there are a lot of people that don't like that. I fell into their trap and so I have only myself to blame."

Let me get this straight: Lott got in trouble for making a segregationalist comment, but then he makes an accusation of what amounts to white-southern-christian profiling? The man is still clueless.
