Those following Atrios' excellent coverage of the Trent Lott's most recent declaration of racial hatred shouldn't be surprised by the Moonie Times' reporting on the controversy:

"Senate Republican Leader Trent Lott of Mississippi, who was learning to walk when Mr. Thurmond was participating in the D-Day invasion of France in World War II, couldn't help but notice the significance of yesterday's snowstorm. 'I always said that Strom wouldn't leave until the Capitol froze over, and darned if he didn't,' he said."

Reporting, as in not reporting. Not one word about Lott's endorsement of Strom's racist presidential platform, or even Strom's own history as a bigot. Further proof of the Moonie Times' dedication to its missions of rehabilitating the racist South and putting lipstick on racist pigs.

Beyond that, the article is the usual crap about Strom being a horny old fart and, get this, "outliving communism." (Imagine the outrage from Dickie Scaife and Bozell the Clown if the Washington Post printed that.)
