I’m not even finished watching my taped version of the “60 Minutes” program on the Duke rape case and I can say without fear of contradiction that Mike Nifong is a complete and hopeless incompetent who does not deserve to hold public office. And if you think that’s harsh, just think what his incompetence and bull-headedness has cost three innocent lacrosse players.

And Duke President Richard Brodhead is close behind. He’s blaming public officials who said to an almost certainty that this happened. Good God, he’s supposed to be an educated man. Where’s the presumption of innocence? Has Brodhead never read the Constitution?

And don’t get me started on those idiots from my neighborhood who came out with the pots and pans. They should all hang their heads in shame.

UPDATE: John In Carolina has now given his take on the show.

Almost everyone “on the fence” will now say: “These kids are innocent. That DA with the soda cup in his hand is the guilty one. Why isn’t he in jail?”

That’s a huge plus for the players, their families and anyone concerned about justice in this horrendous series of Duke Hoax injustices.
