See, we were having a nice bipartisan discussion of the catastrophe that is Nancy Grace, and you had to shit up the place with that highly dubious turd. ---

Maddow? She’s pretty partisan liberal, so if you’re not, I can see how you’d hold that against her, but she’s generally well reasoned, does her research, and is polite to the people she interviews, even when they have points of view different than hers. ---

Why bother to address the herp derp? Oh, and as to the OP, yes. In show business, and beyond. ---

If you people turn this thread into another incredibly boring partisan “Did not!” “Did too!” thread, I will personally hunt you all down\*. \*Probably not. But maybe - I don’t have that much going on right now. ---

Is HLN, the network that runs her show, the new court TV channel? As I skim past it, it always has a trial or court case on. They do have Behar and Dr. Drew on at night. ---

If we’re citing societal damage and not merely a repellent personality, Nancy Grace’s disgustingness doesn’t begin to compare with that of Jenny McCarthy, whose [body count](http://www.jennymccarthybodycount.com/Jenny_McCarthy_Body_Count/Home.html) is far, far higher. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > If Rachel Maddow acted like Nancy Grace I’d be ashamed to support her. How low does Nancy Grace have to stoop for _you_ to feel shame? Apparently once you are a bit lefty, you are at the lowest level possible. No right winger could be that bad. Even Grace, Palin, Coulter , Bachmann Santorum, Craig or any other. ---

Good point. How many bodies does Nancy have in her count - one confirmed kill? ---

> [@gonzomax](#): > > Is HLN, the network that runs her show, the new court TV channel? As I skim past it, it always has a trial or court case on. They do have Behar and Dr. Drew on at night. I think TruTV is the new Court TV, but they don’t run non-stop trials like the old Court TV did. My mom had it on 24/7 – she even watched repeats of trials. TruTV is mostly reality shows like Jail, World’s Dumbest Criminals, Most Shocking Whatever, Speeders, and Cops reruns. They’re running the Anthony trial along with HLN. ---

Shit, you’re completely right. I actually had to go get tested for measles the other day because I may have been exposed while at my doctor’s office, and I couldn’t find my vaccination records. Fuck Jenny McCarthy, and fuck people who take medical advice from Jenny McCarthy. They DESERVE measles. Of course, their children and everyone else their children come into contact with don’t. Nancy Grace, you’re #2. I suspect that would piss you off more anyway. ---

Wait, wait, wait, you heartless Gracebashers! Aren’t you even the least bit affected when she talks about her darling adorable perfect ohsowhite twins, Johndavid and Joebob? Have you not noticed the tiny tear that gleams in the corner of her beady little eye when she mentions them? Do you not hear the vulnerable motherly adoring tremble in her voice when their names come up in reference to how much better her parenting is than the parenting of all those nasty vile awful evil perps she has to talk about every day? It _hurts_ her to even talk about such things, you know. I can tell it does, but someone, _someone_ has to be brave enough to confront these atrocities and drone on and on about them day after day after day. How did we ever get along without her? That’s what I want to know. ---

As painful as Nancy is, she doesn’t hold a candle to Glenn Beck. The man is a whining, know it all, who now is being ejected from FOX, is talking about starting his own network. Did I say he was also an egomaniac? Oprah, yeah she has the O network, and she also has the following. ---

> [@5-HT](#): > > I don’t know if she’s the worst, but she certainly induces immediate revulsion in me, almost on a physical level. This. Jenny McCarthy is probably a worse human being - as noted, she certainly has the higher body count. But I can watch Jenny McCarthy without desperately wishing I could vomit out my eyeballs. She did a perfectly serviceable job on a “Chuck” guest spot, for a example. Whereas Nancy Grace - gah. ---
