"Gottlie in blackface. Now that is quite a visual image."
The visual image would of course have to include Gottleib wearing his 'fro wig. He wouldn't need to add a fat-man suit under his clothes.
On a serious note, I wonder if it has yet occurred to Gottlieb and/or his attorney that he's being set up as the designated "fall guy" by Nifong and the Durham establishment? All their (e.g., Nifong, city manager) recent actions and statements seem to be setting the stage for that. They'll be saying things such as "It wasn't my fault, all my actions were based upon what Gottlieb told me, I mistakenly placed my trust in him and believed everything he told me ...we were all fooled by him". And I wonder if Gottlieb is planning to be the loyal patsy and take the bullet for his Durham "superiors". I know I wouldn't.
Gottlieb, I would suggest you save "the evidence" so you can use it to save yourself later. Listen to your attorney. Don't plan on being too loyal to Nifong and the Durham elite, because they sure as hell don't expect or plan to be loyal to you or your interests. Otherwise, plan on changing your name to Patsy Gottlieb.
