Commentary, sarcasm and snide remarks from a Florida resident of over thirty years. Being a glutton for punishment is a requirement for residency here. Who am I? I've been called a moonbat by Michelle Malkin, a Right Wing Nut by Daily Kos, and middle of the road by Florida blog State of Sunshine. Tell me what you think.

The Knucklehead of the Year award- Law Enforcement and Legal System

Time to give out our eighth Knucklehead of the Year award. This time it is the Law Enforcement and Legal system category. Sometimes those enforcing the law have little respect for the law themselves.

Greta from Hooah Wife and Friends

Comments from the judges

James Joyner voted Mike Nifong first second and third.

Mr C wrote-

"1 Mike Nifong, the DA who doesn’t need testimony

2 Judge Kristine Cecava gives child abuser nothing

3 Judge Edward Cashman gives child rapist 60 days"

Greta wrote-

"1. Vermont's new slogan "we don't believe in sex offender punishment"
2. Short people are deprived prison - call the ACLU
3. Granny got a gun"

The Professor wrote- "Nifong, I think, is manipulating the situation for his
own political advantage, or was; I don't think he's stupid, necessarily, just evil."

Note- The Professor voted early. TFM doesn't know if he holds the same view on Nifong after the latest news out of North Carolina but I respect his opinion.

Don Surber wrote on the Florida Supreme Court. "Didn't they retire this award a few years ago? Don also said. "Pretty bad year when the guy who railroads college
kids on fake rape charges finishes 3rd."

And the winner is...........

Mike Nifong!

Nifong joins Princeton University, Mel Gibson, Jimmy Carter, Florida Department of Children and Families, Hilton Hotels, The New York Times and Andrew Tilley as 2006 Knucklehead of the year finalists. Please come back tomorrow to see who the Grand Knucklehead of 2006 will be. We're even going to have a special master of ceremonies. Have a great weekend and a Happy New Year.
