Durham, N.C. -- “The captains of the team met this morning with President Brodhead, and expressed sincere regret over the lapse in judgment in having the party on March 13 which has caused so much anguish for the Duke community and shame to our families and ourselves.

Sorry. This is not good enough.

Look, stop saying those boys ever said they regretted hiring a stripper. They DID NOT!

Now, having said that, I suspect that perhaps one day they, or one of them, WILL say this. If nothing else, one of them will say it in the book surely one will write. It's law of books like this....you gotta have learned something.

But those boys have never publicly said they thought hiring a stripper to be a dumb thing or have their parents. I'm thinking their lawyers told them not to because...why give the prosecution ammunition? I myself think that they shouldn't say such a thing until Nifong et al are dealt with legally.

But you accomplish nothing to keep saying that they said it. They didn't. And I'm not the only one saying that it was dumb for them to hire strippers. I'd be drop dead ashamed of my son if he did such a thing. Further, you know what I'd say to my boy? I'd ask him how would he feel if his sister showed up to give the show?

I'd ask him if he'd sit right on down and hoot and holler with his sporting friends, if he'd join in as they'd shouted for her to "take it off".

And if I raised my boy right he'd feel really squirmy and icky at the thought of watching his sister strip in front of a bunch of hooting and hollering ball-bearing monkeys.

My boy should trust his instinct. Because that girl doesn't want to take off her clothes and be humiliated like that, she's somebody's sister, she's somebody's daughter, she might even be somebody's mother.

Sure I'll not stop women from stripping for men for money, I'll not stop women from spreading their legs for money. I'll always condemn it because...well I've said why.
