Irony

Former prosecutor Nifong is whining that he’s being treated unfairly:

When former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong mailed in his law license last week, he also included a note bemoaning “the fundamental unfairness” of the North Carolina State Bar’s handling of his ethics case.

Nifong was disbarred for his handling of rape charges against three Duke University men’s lacrosse players. State prosecutors later dismissed the charges and declared the players innocent.

I think we have a new dictionary example of chutzpah, to replace the old one about the guy who murdered his parents and threw himself on the mercy of the court because he was an orphan.

I have to say that I also like the part about how the dog ate his law license.
