Today, Duke wised up and threw a pre-emptive golden handshake to the three young men and their families who withstood the scrutiny and rush-to-judgement from the university, the media and the world. I personally hope they had to melt down Doris Duke’s coffin and sell the metal for money to pay these families. We can only pray that Duke’s coffers are substantially less-endowed than they were this time last week. I’m guessing so, if they settled this quickly.Question is, are the Duke 88, the band of rogue professors who took out an full-page ad vilifying these guys covered in this lawsuit?  In the on-deck circle: former Attorney General Nifong, pictured above, who figures to get their collective lacrosse sticks rammed so far up his ass that you could stand him on his head, drop a bowling ball down his poop chute and not have it hit anything till it tapped the back of his throat.
