Trent Lott is a former Senator from Mississippi who pointed out in 2002 that the world would be a better place today if segregationist Strom Thurmond had been elected president in 1948. He said that because he, like Stephen Colbert, cannot see color. Lott proved that by saying that all the people in his hometown, which factonistas claim is 26 percent black and 65 percent white, look exactly alike. "They all look the same to me, they all look like Americans," Lott said, proving that he is blind to silly distinctions like the color of a person's skin. "They all look the same to me," Lott observed.
