They'll be bunches of Freepers and bloggers in the audience. Count on it...

And who wants to take ping responsibilities while I'm gone to the Redneck Riviera next week?

This has the hallmarks of a frustrating evening. Ashley and the media will pontificate about why they are great (the media loves nothing more than talking about themselves), Coleman will talk about procedural irregularities but nothing more, and they will all nod in agreement that Duke handled it correctly and well and that, to quote the Bard of Trinity, "whatever they did was bad enough." They will discuss the "larger" issues of race, class, etc. and the innocence of the three Duke students will be irrelevant to them -- the thought that they may have all been wrong will simply be too awful to contemplate.

Hope I'm just being too cynical but this looks like damage control and for Duke to have something to cite to when they are inevitably accused (maybe sued) for deprivation of civil rights.
