The latest on Duke

Mike Nifong has been dishonest, crooked and, at times, just plain weird.

But his dropping of the rape charge, and not the others, is the first action I would describe as "cute."

Drop the one charge--the central charge--on account of its being completely disproven, in the hope of proving the ancillary charges by a preponderence of the evidence?

Drop the rape charge and then say with a straight face that the DNA is "out of play," when the absence of of LAX players' DNA is perhaps even more exculpatory in the ancillary charges?

Cute. Real cute.

On a related note: Will KC Johnson be the first blogger to win the Pulitzer Prize? One can hope. His latesthere.
