ESPN's Weissman: Despite Exoneration 'The Questions Remain' About Duke Lacrosse Players

What will it take for the MSM to stop smearing the falsely-accused Duke lacrosse players? Judging by the performance of ESPN's Steve Weissman this morning, legal exoneration is not enough.

Introducing an ESPNNEWS item on a lacrosse game between Duke and the University of Virginia, Weissman claimed that three years ago, the Duke team had been involved in "a devastating scandal," and that while the accused players had been exonerated, "the questions remain."

Golden boy syndrome, ma'am. Clinton suffered from it, as does Obamy.

Those whom 'evil' may not be spoken about, even when it should. The syndrome (sort of like Stockholm Syndrome, imo):

• At work places, some advice.

• Advice to regular joes.

• Google as "Golden Boy"

IOW, you are a Laz fan-girl. More power to you. But see it for what it is.

[Gapplega]

What’s wrong with his head? and I mean its physical appearance.

[TommyDale]

Pre-post tribulationist, post-preterist, post-toasties, pre-postal semi-pelican brief amillenialist

I am strictly post nasal.

[Lazamataz]

Morals are delicious.

But a little sex is very moral.

So there.

[Lazamataz]

Well put, Laz!

When it comes to sex, I ALWAYS put it PERFECTLY.

nnnNNNNGGGGeeeesssh.

[Lazamataz]

YOU are SO SWEET, and I just bet you keep your husband smiling from ear to ear.

Gosh darn it, you are my fave. Well, except for onyx, who I'm marrying soon.

[combat_boots]

Delicious, Laz? On toast? With ‘condom-nents’ on the side? Hmmmmmm?

[PA Engineer]

Well, I think a lot of questions remain about Weissman’s wife beating.

And he has never denied the reports about his pedophile relationships.

[Lazamataz]

Delicious, Laz? On toast? With ‘condom-nents’ on the side? Hmmmmmm?

Delicious, but only with the following inventory:

• 33 helium baloons.
• A medium cucumber.
• Vasoline.
• 3 square feet of netting.
• 7 mature chimpanzees.
• A mime.
• 2 clown noses.
• A plastic floormat.
• Stripper high heels.
• 3 jars of orange marmalade.
• 17 feet of rope.
• Disinfectant.
• 109 midgets, various sexes.
• A wheelbarrow. John Deere brand is the most durable.
• A funnel WITH attaching hose.
• 3 lava lamps.
• A recording of the Chimpunks Christmas Special.
• A chandiellier.
• Peanut oil.
• A Groucho Marx mask.
• A clipboard with graph paper.
• 18 radishes.

[Lazamataz]

Hey, fiance: Are you up for the above?

[combat_boots]

18 radishes

Radishes? You’ve just made me think of that scene from “Wasabi” when the guy puts the whole fingerful of wasabi in his mouth.

Radishes! They’re not just for breakfast anymore.

[Lazamataz]

With all the stuff I posted, you got hung up on RADISHES???!?

"108 midgets, various sexes. Okay. RADISHES? O, HELL no! That's KINKY!"

 

 

 

 

 

You are my kind of gal.

[Raider Sam]

Then try to make stripping illegal. All I pointed out is that you said they broke a law, and then in the following clause said that even if it is not a law.

I didnt argue any of the other points, kiddo. I just pointed out that you encourage arresting someone who for breaking a law that didnt exist.

[onyx]

Invoking your motto of commenting without reading the thread, here's my answer for now...lol.

[bvw]

Kiddo, in saner times and still in saner places stripping is illegal. And it should be illegal around any college town.

That is if you want to raise a non-broken generation. Let’s ask Laz, eh?

How many kids have you raised, Laz?

What’s your recipe for raising children?

[bvw]

Got that off your chest, now, Lady?

Just wondering, how many sons or brothers do you have?

[In Maryland]

"While the crime they were charged with was false, what they did was also a crime, and if not currently on the books it should be."

Could you share your evidence with us, please. From what I recall they hired two women to perform as strippers. Not exactly something to warm a parent's heart, but not a crime. And as long as we have a first amendment it should not be. Immoral, perhaps; but not illegal.

Unless you have some evidence that the MSM overlooked in their persecut, I mean investigation.

[combat_boots]

Laz. Really. Watch your language. ;>

The First Amendment existed to protect POLITICAL speech — words, first and foremost. In origin it did not mean to protect “arts” such as dancing, nor would most Founders have ever agreed that it protected lewdness.

The First Amendment existed to protect POLITICAL speech — words, first and foremost. In origin it did not mean to protect "arts" such as dancing, nor would most Founders have ever agreed that it protected lewdness.

James Madison on the First Amendment and licentiousness of the press:

Is, then, the Federal Government, it will be asked, destitute of every authority for restraining the licentiousness of the press, and for shielding itself against the libellous attacks which may be made on those who administer it?

The Constitution alone can answer this question. If no such power be expressly delegated, and if it be not both necessary and proper to carry into execution an express power--above all, if it be expressly forbidden, by a declaratory amendment to the Constitution--the answer must be, that the Federal Government is destitute of all such authority.
