Barry Saunders on the Men Who Would Beat Nifong

Barry Saunders shows why he has a paying gig as a columnist for the N&O and I don't by covering in his column today pretty much the ground that I covered here yesterday, and doing a much better job of it. It's a good column in substance and tone, and confirms what I thought—that Monks and Cheek have nothing going for them but the fact that they're not Mike Nifong.

I do have one tiny (very tiny) quibble with the column, though. Saunders wrote:

It's easy to take exception with some aspects of Nifong's handling of the case. The dude was too ubiquitous and pretty near loquacious in the early days following the incident.

Surely he meant "too loquacious and pretty near ubiquitous," right? While it's possible to be either near loquacious or near ubiquitous, "too" seems to only fit with loquacious. (I mean, ubiquity is like pregnancy—either you are, or you aren't.) Just sayin'.
