Trent Lott: “At least Dr. Charles Krauthammer signed his editorial. We do not know who wrote the editorial in the Washington Post.…”

On the recordSeptember 10, 1999
At least Dr. Charles Krauthammer signed his editorial. We do not know who wrote the editorial in the Washington Post. But I would be willing to guess that Dr. Krauthammer knows more about the subject than whoever at the White House wrote the article for the Washington Post editorial page. If we want to compare capabilities and knowledge, I would be glad to get into that. I put my money with Krauthammer against anybody who writes an editorial in the Washington Post. Having said that, I have done what I can do at this point in terms of suggesting that hearings be in order.
