I would, if I thought it could possibly be anything but a complete waste of time.

At least we agree on something.

[SmoothTalker]

"But, if not for the fact that these nice young gentlemen hired a stripper (dog) to bump and grind for their lovely little party, NONE of the damage (fleas) would have occurred."

Oh come on. Is hiring strippers a good thing? No. Does it warrent having your reputation destroyed like this? Of course not.

When I got burned because I played with fire, I took my lumps.

I ask again: How did you play with fire and what lumps did you take?

[Sue Perkick]

Court TV. You should like Coldwater & Co.

[Sacajaweau]

Nifong had to get past the swearing in and now has the status of "elected official". They'll send him home WITH PAY while the Bar Accusations are pending. He'll sit by his pool and laugh at everything.

He's a Dem all the way!!!

As far as I know, he has never done private work being always an appointee. He'll retire, collect a big fat pension and do some consultant work for some Dem who owes him.

"By the way, how are things up there on planet Head Up Your Ass nowadays?"

Coffee snorting funny.

I think planet Head Up Your Ass is somewhere near Uranus.

Who in the Hell uses the word "Whoremonger" anyhow.

[pepperhead]

I am thinking a few to the head.

While there may be a few poor sports left, I believe the boys would find
a most welcoming embrace from the vast majority of their classmates.
Getting back on the lacrosse field again and going for the championship
would be a positive goal. It truly is a difficult decision, though.

[napscoordinator]

Trying to head off a lawsuit, perhaps?



And I hope it does not work. The three need to become millionaires at least!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The KG9 Kid]

"... Didn't it have the idea that if Finnerty transfers he'll have the new campus immediately peg him as that "Duke Rape Kid" and have to set about clearing his name again on that campus."

If things go right for Finnerty, the students at his new college will peg him as "That Kid Duke Wrongly Accused Of Rape" every time he pulls into the student parking lot in his Ferrari F599 GTB playing 'Pimps Up, Hoes Down' through his 1000-watt sound system.

[San Jacinto]

I think planet Head Up Your Ass is somewhere near Uranus.

Darn you! You made me look.

[Locomotive Breath]

The thing I've run across is that people who haven't followed this as closely are still stuck back in March and who will think of him as "That Duke Kid Who Got Away With Rape".

[teawithmisswilliams]

Where's the proof these students are "whoremongers"? They hired a stripper. Although crying "rape" and prosecuting people for a non-existent crime goes far beyond it, bearing false witness also seems to be a bit of a problem for you.

[Nonstatist]

you believe it's unjust for a young man to suffer some damage to his reputation for hiring a stripper?

Well,well,well..we've got a holy roller here! Mr Perfect, ever commit a misdemeanor in your life?? Heh? And these boys didnt even break the law, except if you count having some beer in a paper cup..

Hey, how about the next time you jaywalk (nearly equivalent "crime") you get arrested for rape? Sound like fun, numbnutz?

[Locomotive Breath]

As in I still find myself having to explain to other people that the D.C. thing was

1) not gay bashing
2) Finnerty never hit anyone
3) Finnerty was sucker punched in the back of the head

[Sacajaweau]

Wake Up!!! Your uncles, brothers, male friends, etc.. have all seen strippers at some point in time. Playboy has made a pretty good living on "paper strippers" and their clubs. No waiters there!!!!

[Locomotive Breath]

First thing I would do upon re-entering campus would be to pee on Shadee Malaklou's door knob and dare her to do anything about it.

[mc5cents]

Am I to understand that you believe it's unjust for a young man to suffer some damage to his reputation for hiring a stripper?

In a word, yes. Why should a man "suffer" damage to his reputation for doing something that is considered, shall we say, "normal" in the life of most male college students. Why, if that were the case then we would have no one running for office these days. I can assure you that a lot of your "upstanding pillars of the community" have been to parties with either strippers or belly dancers involved in the festivities when they were young. Beleive me, it is no big deal, and normal.

[Repub4bush]

Hey it isn't just men. I was more surprised when the "telephone man" showed up... with his boom box!!!

Needless to say I was embarrassed but laughing my butt off!

It was all harmless, but definitely inappropriate...LOL

I am just glad Nifong was not in my county! ;)
