Exactly which part is similar to the Duke Lacrosse case? It can't be the part about the victim giving inconsistent accounts of the assault, or the part about the alleged attackers having alibi's for the time the assault was alleged to have taken place. It can't be the part about how the forensic evidence didn't appear…

But it was always going to be incredibly difficult you know? It's not their job to just take on cases they think will be easily winnable. If their defendant was Joe the bus driver they would not be about to walk away based on this flimsy bullshit even if it made the case more difficult to win.

SO.WHAT. None of what you just wrote has any bearing on these charges.

@andPreciousLittle: And if the police have her on tape discussing the possible upsides (ugh) of pursuing charges, with an incarcerated weed dealer, that's really hard to explain.

@Sarah Heartburn: exactly. So she discussed what could possibly happen to her if she pursued the case, so what? It's called being a human being I think. So her friend was in jail, so what if you're a rape victim being friends with someone who's incarcerated means everything you say is suddenly suspect? That is some…

Yep. And there's no such thing as the perfect victim, particularly when the accused is a multi-billionaire with access to more power then most of us can even imagine.

The media reporting of this has been disgusting. The whole spin is all, well what can the DA do their case has unraveled! Like, really? No it hasn't. The credibility of your victim has been somewhat challenged, did you not think that would happen? Did you really think you had the "perfect" victim? Clearly they did. At…

So do dude's balls. Evs.

Team No One.

Now that is awesome.

Thanks Corporate Friendly Supreme Court! Oh whoops I'm sorry! I mean "Pro-Free Speech So Long as You're a Corporation Supreme Court." My mistake!

I agree. God forbid defense attorney's attempt to hold prosecutors to the letter of the law.

I meant within a year of each other when he ran for president in 2008.

I can't really make sense of your comment. So do you believe gay marriage should be legalized? Because it seems like you don't based on your words that, "the government has no business in defining marriage or relationships." Does this mean you want to leave it completely in the hands of religious institutions?

4 years in the state house is a "big edge?" Plus if she runs in 2012 she'll have an extra 3 years of experience meaning they will still be within about a year of each other experience wise. Yes obviously I think he's smarter and saner but that's not what you were talking about when you compared her experience to that…

She has just about the exact same experience as Obama when he ran. Actually that's not true, she will have more years in Congress in 2012 then he had in 2008. I'm a huge socialist liberal but let's be real here.

I am JEALOUS.

I switched to La Croix a little over a year ago and haven't looked back. Seriously that stuff is like crack except not terrible for you. No aspartame! No sodium! No chemical sweeteners whatsoever.

Jenna did you get an advance copy of Joan Didion's book?

Also, I love how Tina Brown thinks that Princess Di would just be biting Michelle Obama's style if she were alive today. Undead Princess Di is all, "thanks?"
