Mike Nifong: Captain Oblivious

One of the Nifong quotes from this afternoon is so priceless it’s worth sharing:

“I no longer get to go anywhere in my community without people knowing who I am,” Nifong said. “I wish you could find me a way to give me my anonymity back.”

First, having blue and white campaign signs with your name on them all around town hardly qualifies as “anonymity.” Second, I’ll give you three guesses as to who is actually responsible for Nifong losing his “anonymity.”

Of course, what’s really going to up the Nifong annoyance quotient is his beaming face at tomorrow’s perp walk/Dillinger moment. Few people like a smartass, but nobody likes a smartass who might actually be right…

Chris,

The joke, as I’ve been told it is:

Everyone likes a little ass, but noone likes a smartass.
