Just heard at the top of the hour. Nifong is recusing himself from the Duke Case as prosecutor.

[TomGuy]

RECUSED?

He wants to be rescued..

There was a time when this kind of thing would have been subject to poultry coverings attached with warmed roofing material.

Nifong would be so deserving of that honor.

Why doesn't somebody just end this guy's career, already?

[Enterprise]

Good! (Also waiting for FOX to confirm it - no doubt someone has already read this here also, and cell phones are working at capacity)

[Rb ver. 2.0]

They're both democrats. Party over principle and all that.

[Agent Smith]

Did "Mad Mike" give any actual reason for his request to the AG?

[MplsSteve]

My immediate knee-jerk reaction is: NO!

I think he should have to go ahead and prosecute this case!

He started it and he should finish it.

C'mon, Mike. You wanted the glory and publicity. But now it's not so much fun when you can't run roughshod over some college kids.

Finish what you started. Let's see where it ends. Hopefully with your removal from office!

[tomcorn]

How would you like to be the fresh faced kid right out of law school who is handed this huge pile of manure?

[GOPRaleigh]

We tried last election cycle. Ever look at the voting demographics in Durham? It was tough.

[Howlin]

Precisely.

But he'll say he's just "too controversial" or some such crap.

[spectre]

Now, now...Tom..

LOL!

[Howlin]

Here is what I don't udnerstand; if the AG can't take him off the case, why would Nifong ask him to take him off the case?

[Rb ver. 2.0]

"I hope anybody sent to prison is brutally raped."

I hope your kids or grandkids never get cornered by an LEO with an attitude and it takes you a week to get them out of jail. You spoke their rape into existence.

[Howlin]

No doubt.

[mewzilla]

Note to Nifong: Too late. You're still gonna be disbarred.

And if Nifong conspired with Meehan to hide that Brady material, they both ought to end up in the slammer.

[JLS]

Yes, I am 100% sure. Nifong has asked off. The AG will anger everyone if he does not let him off. As someone else said, Nifong has a conflict of interest.

[HitmanLV]

Rough stuff!

[tomcorn]

The Moment the ethics charges were filed Nifong was going to recuse himself.

[F.J. Mitchell]

This guy, Nifong, is unbelievable. He has no case from which to recuse himself. Yet the cost of the farce goes on, and on, and.....

[TommyDale]

Gee, Friday night at 5 pm local time? How convenient! Even Lis Weihl has turned against Nifon. Now only Nancy Grace and Wendy the Witch are left.

[mewzilla]

And on the subject of removing a district attorney...
