First of all, this press conference yesterday was one of the most amazing things I have ever witnessed. I was STUNNED by the frank candor of the attorney general, and just shocked that he actually declared these guys innocent. I figured the best they could hope for was a dropping of charges based on there not being enough conclusive evidence to prove their guilt. The fact that the North Carolina AG said there was no evidence, and never had been any evidence, was totally unexpected, but the fact that he so unequivocally threw Nifong under the bus was just a jaw-dropper. If you haven't read the transcript, you should.

The obvious question then becomes, will Jesse Jackson rush down to North Carolina now to defend these boys' honor? Will he recant his article from last year, "Duke: Horror and Truth"? Strangely, all we're hearing from the Sharpton/Jackson camp are some pretty loud crickets.

I'm sure that they are just annoyed that this bombshell came at such a time that it would distract observers from their lynching of Don Imus. Surely Jesse was a little disappointed that Imus has already been pulled from MSNBC before he could get his boycott going. He didn't really want this to be over too quickly, because his phone had just started ringing again.

If only those boys could have hired Johnny Cochran long ago. Can't you just hear him from the grave... "If the glove don't fit, you must acquit!"

Al, Jesse, your transparency has never been more obvious. Can I dare hope your irrelevance is not far behind?
