Of course this doesn't say much for his voting constituency, but as it appears that topic is not Poltically Correct and will be walled off like the crazy aunt who is locked in the basement.

The bar has the bastard dead to rights. He is finished.

That gets away from the spur of the moment defense, that 'I just went with it, I really didn't mean it, I was caught up in the emotion of the moment,' " Metzloff said.

Metzloff might want to amend this. He was caught up in the emotions of the moment:

Rensentment
Anger
Rage
Contempt

This is a insigfnificant little man who quit the Amimal Control Board because all were not with him. An instanceof: "If you are not with me, you are against me"

This is a insigfnificant little man rumored to monitor the blogs and supposedly stated he will extract his pound of flesh.

This is a insigfnificant little man finally out of traffic court and sitting in the big boy's chair.

This is a insigfnificant little man who first took Freda Black's parking space and then fired her.

Mikey is ruled by his emotions. He knew that if Freda won the election he had no job. What he could have done from there did not matter. He knew his job was at stake.

I'd be willing to bet if Freda won the DA race, there would be a dramtic shift in courthouse dynamics. I think many in Durham were afraid the status quo would be upset if Freda won the election.

Let's hope and pray the only thing Nifong gets to say for a while is "Do you want fries with that?"

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I would have said, "Mr Nifong, you picked the wrong family to jerk around. If I could rip your balls off and pull your heart out through your throat, I would"

In that context, she was very restrained. :-)

While we're at it, each and every one of those imbecile brainless liberal "professors", (remember, those who can do-those who CAN'T teach.) who signed that statement in the papers should be individually sued for libel. Destroy them all....here's a great chance to teach academia to keep their mouths shut.

What about a class action lawsuit against the Gang of 88? Could you do that under RICO -- a conspiracy to deny the civil rights of the Duke Lacrosse players?

[Fido969]

Remember how Nifong suddenly clammed up after giving umteen dozen interviews? That was about the time the bar opened this case.

[Fido969]

Oh, and the accuser's newborn baby who, it's safe to say, will never play Duke lacrosse.

Well, it's not like Roofie has never been wrong before ....

Have you ever noticed that lefties seem to have very nebulous job descriptions?

[RegulatorCountry]

"The bar has the bastard dead to rights. He is finished."

There's always the inevitable book deal. Of course, any substantial advance would increase the likelihood of Nifong himself being sued by the accused.

[devane617]

Nifong is toast.

[RetiredArmy]

I worked for an attorney in Washington state once that had been censured by the state bar association for things he said, while a county prosecutor, about the accused, during the trial!!! That just shows you they have limits and this a-hole crossed the line.

[showme_the_Glory]

Nifong: from the Greek meaning TOAST.

[Clifford The Big Red Dog]

You could, but its better to pluck them totally one-by-one instead of allowing them to pool their resources....both in defending AND in the financial penalties.

Unless in NC they allow all defendants to be "jointly and severally" liable like they do here in PA.

Then go for it. RICO cases are always fun, and if you ask me, academia are every bit the racketeers the goodfellas in Cosa Nostra are.

[Sue Perkick]

Had Freda won the primary, this case would be a distant memory. And so would Nifong.

[AZFolks]

Nifong is a loser, no question. I am becoming more and more disgusted with the media attempting to rehabilitate the accuser. I have heard it said she is a victim of Nifong. Truth be told, we all know what she is and she is no victim and deserves to be punished.

[BOBWADE]

The bar case aside, I think his biggest problem may be with the feds. Nifong has violated the rights of the LAX accused and could be slapped down by the feds. His actions appear to be intentional and involve a possible conspiracy (withheld lab results)

[Dukie07]

I agree with your post 100%. His only motivation in all of this was to keep his job for another 3-1/2 years. That is the ONLY problem solution he was after.

Nifong was protecting his pension but the courthouse crowd was against Freda for some reason, IMO. There is more there ...
