Of course she is, it’s a rhetorical question. Nancy Grace makes me want to fucking puke. Everything about her disgusts me. Her show, an obsessive droning on of whatever recently murdered white girl’s case can be strung out to fill weeks of programming, is the most vile sort of exploitative, voyeuristic filth that doesn’t even have the redeeming quality of snide humor that shit like Jerry Springer had. Grace, who already has blood on her hands for one person hounded to death, wakes up every morning praying that a cute child or white teenager somewhere has been murdered so she can turn it into ratings gold. She’s a heartless, greedy, evil shrew who uses the most horrific tragedies to enrich herself, sometimes at the expense of criminals but she’s not picky. She lies like a rug when it suits her needs. Her fans are the most horrifying pack of tragedy-munching hyenas and aspiring lynch mob members you’ll find anywhere. Even her appearance is vile. Her sneering, ugly, over-made-up-for-the-beauty-pageant face is the very visage of Satan, and that’s before she starts howling like a goddamned baboon about whatever she’s pretending to be angry about. Her phoney-baloney accent is punch-worthy, too. I’d say the worthless bitch can go to hell, but I’m sure she already has a reservation. ---

> [@RickJay](#): > > She’s a heartless, greedy, evil shrew who uses the most horrific tragedies to enrich herself, sometimes at the expense of criminals but she’s not picky. Now you are treading on Gloria Allred’s cape, which is dangerous territory. She’s got a coin purse made out of the ballsack from the last guy that did that. ---

Did you know that in addition to her “white kidnapped girl of the month” show, she is also now a daytime TV judge? I’ll give her this…she can’t be worse than that old shrew daytime judge (can’t remember if it is Judge Judy or People’s Court). I know if I ever ended up on a daytime court show or in Grace’s spotlights, regardless of whether I was guilty of anything before, I would be guilty of murder afterwards. ---

I give the OP’s rant at least an 8/10. I would have rated it higher if there had been more cussing. I fucking like cussing and shit. ---

I know someone who worked on her show, and apparently she’s just as crazy in real life as on TV. For some years I had heard about what a nightmare it was to work for this woman, but had never seen the show. One day I was in a hotel flipping channels and there it was. I honestly couldn’t tell if it was satire or not, but had a sinking feeling there were people in the world who took it seriously. I called my friend and asked, “Who watches your show? What’s your demographic?” There was not a second of hesitation in the response: “People in trailer parks in Arkansas.” ---

Bwa ha ha! I hardly ever watch TV. I don’t even know who Nancy Grace is! Looks like my superior life choices have put me in the ‘win’ column yet again. Look at all the grief I’ve saved myself! Imagine what contemplative delights I’ve been enjoying while you all have been watching television. Seriously, if the Rapture had actually happened last month, the clouds parted and Jesus Himself floated down, He’d have taken one look around and said, ‘Thou Shalt Not Watch TV. I’ll come back a 3rd time when y’all have straightened yourselves out!’ One step ahead of ya, J! That the Rapture didn’t happen is the only reason I’m still around to reveal these pearls of wisdom. I hope you won’t squander this glorious opportunity 🙂 ---

Nancy Grace is in my Trio of TV Evil, along with Dr. Phil and The View. John Edwards would be with them if Crossing Over was still on. ---

What a prize. To be known as the most disgusting person in a field of disgusting people. If people are asked “(you) and Andy Dick are trapped in a fire and you can only save one of them. Which one do you save?” and most people answer “Andy Dick”, you should probably re-evaluate your life. ---

I concur with the OP but I want to know… is her attitude just an act? It can’t be genuine. There’s no way anyone can seriously behave the way she does. The over-the-top bitchyness _must_ be for the ratings, right? ---

Nope, I saw that hideous dispicable harpy on Larry King’s show back before anyone had heard of her much. There were three or four lawyers on the show, some on remote video, and no one could get a word out without her blasting "_Ah disaghree! Ah disaghree!"_ to anything they said. Clearly she was a hit with King’s audience because he began to have her back more and more often and then the next thing you know, CNN is giving her a show of her own. :rolleyes: She is everything the OP says and more. The following is from _Wiki’s_ article on her: > [@](#): > > **Prosecutorial misconduct** > > The Supreme Court of Georgia has twice commented on Grace’s conduct as a prosecutor. First, in a 1994 heroin drug trafficking case, Bell v. State, the Court declared a mistrial, saying that Grace had “exceeded the wide latitude of closing argument” by drawing comparisons to unrelated murder and rape cases.[6] > > In 1997, the court was more severe, overturning the murder-arson conviction of businessman W. W. Carr in the death of his wife. While the court said its reversal was not due to these transgressions, since the case had turned primarily on circumstantial evidence, it nevertheless concluded “the conduct of the prosecuting attorney in this case demonstrated her disregard of the notions of due process and fairness, and was inexcusable.”[7] Carr was freed in 2004 when The Georgia Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Fulton County had waited too long to retry him.[citation needed] > > Despite upholding the conviction she sought, a panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals wrote in a 2005 opinion that Grace “played fast and loose” with her ethical duties and failed to “fulfill her responsibilities” as a prosecutor in the 1990 triple murder trial of Herbert Connell Stephens.[8] The court agreed that it was “difficult to conclude that Grace did not knowingly use … [apparently false] testimony” from a detective that there were no other suspects, despite the existence of outstanding arrest warrants for other men.[8] > > [bolding theirs] Additionally, she has blatantly lied over and over about the circumstances of her fiance’s murder (she claimed he was cut down tragically by some random asshole with a long record and this was the reason for her alleged law-and-order passion, when in reality he was shot by a disgruntled co-worker with no record). When confronted with this information, she merely claimed she was “going by the information I had at the time”, yet her fiance was killed in 1979 and she was still spouting these lies about his death until just recently when the internet made it possible to ferret out the truth. A description of the true details of his murder as well as some of her other shenanigans can be found in the _Wiki_ article on her [here](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_grace). Nancy Grace, in addition to being the most obnoxious, hate-filled, exploitative wacko bitch anywhere on the public stage, is deeply dishonest, manipulative and phony, and is utterly impervious to shame or guilt over her many instances of malfeasance. The fact that CNN has given that insane harpy a public forum in which to practice her evil, despite the public record of her dishonesty and clear lack of regard for the basic tenets of law, is the greatest indictment of the character of CNN’s management that I can imagine. I cannot begin to try to imagine what those poor little kids of hers are going to have to go through, growing up with that lunatic for a mother, or what they’ll turn out like.
