More afternoon linkage

Some bullet points around the web on the whole Duke lacrosse thing:

  • A Q&A with Lester Munson at SI.com.
  • Tom Maguire’s comment thread from yesterday is long—too long. He speculates, “my guess is that once the District Attorney gets past his election situation in early May, the wheels will fall off. My sources in New Jersey assure me that there is nothing to this, but who knows?”
  • A few local bloggers of note: John in Carolina continues to hammer the News & Observer for its coverage, Laura of Survival Theory has been on the case with a few interesting comment threads, and those looking for someone who is less credulous of the defense may find my neighbor Lisa B. more to their liking; I only use the term “Townie” out of pure love for my fellow Trinity Park residents.
  • Finally, the latest DukeObsrvr comment thread is worth a skim; I’d say the mood is a bit more pro-defense than the median student, but my sense (from a non-scientific discussion with a few of my students this afternoon) is that the median student at this point is pretty fed up about the whole thing and just wants it all to go away.

Rita Cosby just interviewed the taxi driver that drove Reade S. I missed the beginning. Based on what was said after the interview when the “pundits” were on…the cab passengers said something about she’s just a stripper or they’re just strippers when they got in the cab. so the pundits were all over that. But if the players felt ripped off and the strippers were looking for the whole $800 then the comment from the players makes sense.

 

Interesting; I’ll have to track that one down.
