My pal STS sent me this WRAL story last night amid a fit of giggles:

On Monday, deputies tried to serve a notice for the hearing, in response to a civil complaint, but had to leave it at Nifong’s door.

“Mr. Nifong’s wife informed one of my officers earlier in the day that Mike had taken his guitar and left, and she didn’t have any idea when he’d return,” Capt. Bill Wrenn with the Durham County Sheriff’s Office said.

I wrote back that somewhere over the Eno River can be heard this plaintive tune:

Oh, oh, oh, I got the …
can’t be Atticus Finch,
disgraced before the bench,
outrageous misconduct stench,
jocks just want T&A,
no hits on DNA,
all evidence blown away,
no more cable shows,
national laughingstock woes,
dumb drunken lyin’ hoes
BLUES!
