If he is willing to do this to wealthy straight-laced people for votes, what would he do to those who would have no means at all to fight back, for votes.

Frightening, really.

And rightly so. He has picked on people who probably know how to get things done. I sincerely hope Mr. Nifong gets it in the shorts.
[The point about Nifong is that he ought to be in jail. He’s not. He practically framed and close-to-bankrupted innocent people with no evidence. But oh no, in the US, government is beyond reach. If it had happened to people like you and I, we[d be broke—ruined, in the poor house.]

Mind you, Anna was a pig in my opinion (with the exception of when she was slim).

I wonder if there is any significant difference in somebody resigning, only to change titles and start again as if nothing happened versus somebody who doesn’t resign, apologizes (Nifong hasn’t), and then continues on as if nothing ever happened.

In the caes of Nifong, he deliberately obstructed the law and ruined the lives of three young men. He should be forced to resign.

If Anna Nicole wanted to play snuggle bunny with me I would have made her Governor.
