Shrug..lots of folks with unsavory practices you probably approved of at one time or another. Ben Franklin, (liked little girls..a lot), etc etc..and of course..Bill Clinton. shrug.
Lott shit in his messkit. But that neither changes his research one way or another. Or are you claiming Bill Clinton was completly a wash as a Prez?

For me it does. His credibility *might* go up after a time - maybe ten years or so. But that will always be there.

Why *do* you have such a fixation on him? He did some good, he did some bad, as president. But he's gone down in history as the 'man with the blue dress.' Nobody can change that. Same as nixon and the tapes, carter and playboy magazine. etc.

Getting his ass kicked yet again, Gunner wrote --
Lott's 'messkit' is his research.
See your next paragraph below. Seems you are a victim of your own double standards, no?

Shrug..Still waiting for an answer to the question "is the right to keep and bear arms an individual right" in the US.
Yes or no.
Its obvious why you refuse to answer..and its quite telling about your intellectual honesty.

Not at all. Lott's core business depends on his truthfulness and reliabilty in print. The Roush thing did more than decimate that.
Clinton (and all those other folks) are politicians. They're supposed to lie and sleaze.
The difference is subtle but real.

IOW, you don't care that Lott is a discredited and dishonest hack economist.

Yes or no.
Inquiring minds are anxiously awaiting your answer, Carl.

The real comparison is the Mary Roush affair is like Abu Ghraib prison scandal. If you are a liberal, find the tiniest thing wrong with a conservative and focus on it.
Should we someday find out that Pres George W. Bush, himself, commited littering in 1954, we have our headlines for a month.
Clark, *why* do you have to be liberal to find the image of Lott playing 'dress-up' on the internet, tooting his own horn shamelessly, as completely hilarious?
I think that folks of all persuasion can see that what he did destroyed his journalistic credentials for a long, long time. It would be like you, replying to yourself here on the ng, saying, 'yep, uh huh, that guy Clark is just the *best*, he knows _so_ much, and I'm So impressed with everything he writes here!'
You may be a smart, skilled individual, but pretending to be somebody else to puff up your own image is wrong. Almost anyone can see that. You don't do that. He shouldn't either.

They are Supposed to lie and Sleaze? With an attitude like that..no wonder you are a Democrat.
Geeeeze.

We are waiting for you to explain why you are using 'research' from a discredited hack.
Lott wasn't a journalist, he was an academic researcher. Now that he's blown his reputation as an academic, all he can do is publish op-ed articles in newspapers. He's become a journalist.
We are still waiting to find out why you will not answer the question about Individual Rights.
You have become null and void. Thanks for playing.
Bye.

No. A Pragmatist - like you. If you really think that the stripes are any different on the Republi-tigers than on the Demo-tigers, then I've severely mis-judged you.

_Both_ are repainted skunks.
-- Life's a Frisbee: When you die, your soul goes up on the roof. ----
I watched on C-span a few years back, a pier review of "More Guns, Less Crime". The other professors of economics that were proficient in econo metrics one by one went to the podium and tried to find fault. To quote one professor before his presentation he said with a snarl, "It turns out the gun nuts were right."
To make an analogy, if Newton put on a dress and dance the Hokie Pokie, rocket engines would still work. Likewise, concealed carry permits when introduced, will lower the crime in that state, no matter how many variables are normalized.
