I'm not expecting truth or anything fair from 60M. If they deliver, I'll be presently surprised, but I don't hold any hope of that happening.

Count me as a cynic, too, Jezz. Maybe we'll both be wrong. It's instructive, though that they interviewed, Colin, Reade and David...

Yeah, but the boys don't have any control over how Bradley spins what they say or how he may twist interview snippets/out-of-context remarks they made.

My bet is the gist of the program will be the "hurling of racial epithets"... This is the "get out of jail free" card for Kim and the AV. The boys will most likely spend most of their time defending their reaction to being ripped off, supposedly slapped and ridiculed by two of Durham's finest, "just doing their jobs" to support their "fatherless" children in a white male dominated society..

I still find this angle the most interesting and untouched by many of the main stream pundits and bloggers. THTH maybe. Even Dan Abrams accepted the "unsubstantiated" claims of "they were yelling n....r at us as we left" as a given and the most "disturbing" thing to come out of this affair.

It makes me pause anytime I hear "they yelled n....r at us". Especially after the Blinco investigation basically validated the cook's story except for the racial epithets claims. I do not believe that the Durham cops at Blinco's nor the lacrosse players at the party yelled n....r at either the cook or the strippers. They live and work within a highly integrated and black dominated society, I do not see the Duke students nor the Durham cops, being that cavalier about firing out the dreaded n-word.

If they were "rushing out of the house yelling n....r" in a so called predominantly or highly black integrated neighborhood where they lived, they are either too dumb or unsophisticated to have made it to Duke in the first place.

Bissey who heard the "thank your grandpa" scandalous remark would have also heard them all yelling n....r at the girls. And you can bet your bippy he would have told the cops and the reporters about it.

It would be interesting to know why (from what I've read) the cook is no longer at Blinco's. Was he scared for his personal safety? Was it just a temporary job and it was time for him to move on? Did he get fired or asked to leave because the owner found out how he embellished his story about the attack with the "they called me boy and n....r" standard which is commonly attached to complaints made by blacks against whites.

Every single product produced in the MSM is anti-white male. Every TV commercial, drama, comedy, reality show, game show, sporting event, movie, you name it contains anti-white male undertones. This is not a rant, just an observation, I will be shocked and the first to apologize if 60 minutes breaks out of the mold.

At one point the Durham H-S reported, according to Defense lawyers, that it was the two strippers who first started calling racial slurs. I don't suppose that's going to be reported by 60 Minutes.

They must be terribly conflicted. I'm sure they'd love to do a story on justice gone wrong in a Southern town except that they can't figure out what to do since in this case the falsely accused are rich white Yankee men being raked over the coals by the locals. It doesn't match their template of local whites oppressing the blacks and they aren't clever or flexible enough to figure out a new one.

60 Minutes is generally a crock anyway. Ask me about my Audi 5000 and unintended acceleration sometime. Those guys lies cost me a lot of money.

Like others, count me as cynical until I actually see the program.

I have watched one too many 60 Minutes hatchet pieces over the years to have a lot of confidence in the fairness of this piece.

That said, I will be interested to hear Reade Seligmann and Colin Finnerty actually speak.

This will be the first 60 minutes episode I'll have watched in many many years. Back when Andy Rooney was funny, before he began his PC penance.

that it was the two strippers who first started calling racial slurs.

I'd heard that and the "slapping" part. Kim's got assault, battery, robbery and rape claims made against her and she gets a sweetheart bond deal and in house probation... whoopty woo

All she has to do is account for an hour and a half out of her entire life...

Reade Seligmann was clearly gone when the racial slurs started flying. The word is, so was Collin.

If one or two players were using racial slurs, it is wrong to blanket the entire team with this behaviour.

Well said Mr.Miller. Once you have done something productive in your chosen profession (unlike messrs Kennedy, Kerry and Clinton), you should think about running as a candidate for political office.

Like others I will suspend judgment until the actual content and spin is discernible.

He [Nifong] was out of town on business and unreachable for comment Tuesday.

I was under the impression that his only business is in the "town". Or did he take the family to Disneyworld on the county's dime?

"An exotic dancer at the time..."

So what is Kim Roberts Pittman doing now? Writing screenplays?

Kim is an "embezzling specialist". She said, "it's lucrative and tax free. In fact, everything I engage in; prostitution, blackmail, etc. is tax free."

I predict a more traditional "Miller Time" in Master Stephen's near future, no longer adorning the Chronicle on every other Monday.

So, Nifong stands to lose 30 grand of his own money if he is not elected? Now there is a motive!
