Every wound was created by this dud. Get rid of him. He is filthy political white trash.

I was shocked years ago when my HS students told me that their parents had known him when he was a "linthead" in the local cotton mill before he "took up religion".

I wonder, "Where is he now?" when Nifong might join him. LOL

"Did he really deny that he blocked the press from his swearing in ceremony?"

Absolutely, clear as could be. The microphone audio was much better on Fox News than it was on the local channels.

District Attorney Mike Nifong said after a private swearing-in Tuesday that he intends to help Durham heal the wounds of the Duke University lacrosse case.

And anyone that doesn't heal he'll indict for rape.

Nifonged is now in the Urban Dictionary:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Nifonged

Nifonged describes the railroading or harming of a person with no justifiable cause, except for one's own gain. It is someone being taken advantage of unfairly by someone without scruples or morals. It is created more in disdain of North Carolina/Durham District Attorney Michael Nifong, and his screwing of 3 Duke University Lacrosse Team members and helping to inflame a tense racial situation for his own glory, ego, and political gain.

Being Nifonged, Getting Nifonged, Nifonged
-examples
1. We knew we were BEING NIFONGED when we were forced to pay an extra $50 duty to the customs agent for bringing foreign magazines into Mexico under the threat of jail time.
2. When I saw that the rebate on my new DVD player was not honored by the company I'd bought it from, I had the distinct feeling I was GETTING NIFONGED.
3. "When we noticed that our belongings were missing from our room, we had the distinct feeling we had been NIFONGED by the locals.

You are so right! I have lived in NC all of my life and I will never understand why a state which is fundamentally conservative can keep voting for Democrats on the state and local level. Old habits die hard, I guess.

Maybe some good could result from this if it would lead to somehow make DAs more responsible. This case & the one involving Tom Delay show that something should be done.

He's not resigning nor apologizing. He had his swearing in for his new term in secret, to avoid publicity. HOW does this heal the chaos HE has caused, pray tell?

"that he intends to help Durham heal the wounds of the Duke University lacrosse case."

Hes going to have himself nailed to the wall and allow the Duke lacrosse team use him as target practice? How thoughtful...

Durham is one of the most liberal citadels in the South, rivaling New Orleans when it comes to political insanity.

The first thing that comes to mind is a line from the movie "Sharpe's Eagle," in which Major Hogan tells the incompetent and cowardly Sir Henry Simmerson (who has just lost the King's Colour and an entire platoon through almost-criminal incompetence), "Take my advice and a pistol, go behind that tent, and blow out what is left of your brains."

The only way Nifong can aid in the "healing process" is to drop the remaining charges against the players, beg for their pardon and make restitution for their legal expenses (perhaps in exchange for their agreement not to sue or prosecute him personally), resign from his position, crawl into a hole, and pull the hole in after him. Moving out of North Carolina also would help, but we don't want his kind in Pennsylvania.

Maybe he can move in with Janet Reno, noting her alleged role in railroading an innocent man (Grant Snowden) to prison to further her political career.

Re: "He's not resigning nor apologizing. He had his swearing in for his new term in secret, to avoid publicity."

Every prospective juror in his district is probably aware of this scandal by now, which probably means that they will be inclined to acquit even guilty defendents simply becuase they do not believe a single word Nifong says. As a juror, I would assume that any witnesses or evidence he introduces may be untrustworthy, and that he may have concealed exculpatory evidence as alleged in this case.
