One day after North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper dismissed the charges against the three Duke lacrosse players accused of rape, District Attorney Mike Nifong issued an apology, acknowledging that the three former Duke University lacrosse players had been “wrongfully accused” of sexual assault.

“Those of us who work within that system can only make the best judgments we can,” Nifong stated.  “To the extent that I made judgments that ultimately proved to be incorrect, I apologize to the three suspects that were wrongly accused.”

Not everyone was pleased by the apology.  Joseph Cheshire V, a lawyer for one of the lacrosse players said “This is not an apology. This is another attempt by Mr. Nifong at revisionist history, the same thing he has done with the facts throughout this entire case.“

Don Imus has been ripped in the public square this week for his recent comments that the Rurgers women’s basketball team were a bunch of “nappy headed hos”. Despite his apologies, black leaders like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were calling for him to be fired.

It appears they have gotten their wish. CBS announced Thursday that Imus has been fired from their network, effective immediately. The network had already suspended him for two weeks, but he will not return.

It seems likely that he will follow his fellow shock-jock in making the move to satellite radio, where you can say basically whatever you want. Below is a video of the broadcast where Imus made the controversial comments.
