At least AP doesn't copy/paste the following jewel from today's New York Times article on Nifong:

__________________________________________________________


''At a court hearing on Dec. 15, a DNA laboratory director admitted that he and Mr. Nifong had deliberately withheld exculpatory information from a report. Mr. Nifong prided himself on integrity, having been a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War, yet the laboratory director’s testimony and his acknowledgment of the error undercut his reputation. ''

Well, well, well.

This is the first we have heard of this, isn't it? Old Mikey was a dope smoking hippie who was too good to wear the uniform of his nation. I should have known.

I would love for the AP to elaborate on what the word "integrity" is doing in the same sentence as the vile term "conscientious objector."

So Dingdong has long been a weasel. And what would that have to do with "integrity" anyway?

A man living near the town in which I reside was a CO during Vietnam but with a twist. He refused to carry a weapon but he volunteered to be a medic in a combat unit in Vietnam. The Army accomodated his request. He had integrity.
