The New York Times alone has mentioned the Scottsboro Boys case from the 1930s nearly 20 times since 2002 (expanding the "news" part of "newspaper" just a bit), so I think I'm entitled to spend at least one more week luxuriating in the Duke lacrosse players' total vindication and the exposure of a Southern liberal prosecutor as a corrupt hack.

Twenty years ago, disbarred Duke prosecutor Mike Nifong would have been Time magazine's Man of the Year. Vanity Fair would have photographed him sitting in a Porsche under the headline: "Speaking Truth to Power."

To watch the complete destruction of this foolish and evil man, Michael Nifong -- despite the mainstream media's best efforts to portray him as a modern-day Atticus Finch -- is as great a moment as the annihilation of Dan Rather. Katie Couric's self-immolation is just a bonus -- when it rains, it pours!
