I think we’re being a little harsh on Nancy. Can’t anyone say anything nice about her? OK, I guess it’s up to me. She’s… no, that’s not it. She has a really nice… uh, lost my train of thought here. The best thing about her is… I’m coming up a little short here. She probably drives a really nice car. There, was that so hard? ---

There, was that so hard? I dislike her just like most anyone else but she is still on tv..somebody is watching whether they hate her or not. CNN sucks, as does most of tv these days. ---

Nancy Grace is not exactly a Victoria’s Secret model these days. [Cite](http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31749_162-20066053-10391698.html) (It ain’t for nothin’ that she’s only shown from the shoulders up on her show.) A look at this [Google Image Search page](http://images.google.com/search?as_q=&hl=en&tbm=isch&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=nancy+grace&as_oq=&as_eq=&imgtype=&imgsz=&imgw=&imgh=&imgar=&as_filetype=&imgc=&as_sitesearch=&as_rights=&safe=off&as_st=y&biw=1000&bih=752) reveals that has gained considerable poundage over the last few years.

My first choice would be [Coco Peru](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFIUi88PGiM&feature=related), after that perhaps John Travolta in drag with a southern drawl. Might have to CGI her. And I understand that they’re working wonders with synthesized voices these days. ---

[Here’s a pretty funny (and spot on) piece](http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/89601/10_new_years_resolution_suggestions_pg2.html?cat=17) written by a fellow lawyer, called _10 New Year’s Resolution Suggestions for Nancy Grace_. I’ll quote a snippet below: > [@](#): > > Change your sign-off, Nancy Grace. “Goodnight, friend” just doesn’t cut it. I would venture a guess that a great majority of your viewers hate your goddamn guts as much as I do…and watch you out of simple amazement at how you can say all the ridiculous shit that spews out of your mouth every night. 😃 ---

> [@gaffa](#): > > Not necessary. The Brits have plenty of obnoxious “journalists” of their own to serve as models. Sure they do - But do any match so closely..? Self-important narcisistic destructive windbag, incapable of telling the truth even when the truth is more powerful, blonde, overweight, vain, and generally repugnant? The parallel is precise. ---

> [@Princhester](#): > > Heading up witch hunting and the lynch mob are socially constructive now? > > She’s just someone who has learned that there is a certain moronic demographic (or she is someone who is part of that certain moronic demographic) who doesn’t understand that “accused” is not the same as “found guilty”. She has also learned that there is popularity and attention and hero worship available to those who lead morons in their outrage that accused people are afforded rights that they should not be since (according to morons) they are “guilty”. No, it isn’t. But she has worked as a prosecutor of violent crime, and I guess society is better off if a hate filled psycho is working as a prosecutor than working as a criminal, although we’d be much better off if prosecutors were intelligent, pragmatic people who felt it was their job to protect society (not fulfill some emotional black hole inside them). Not that those are the only 2 options, but a lot of people with destructive urges (the desire to terrify, bully, humiliate, degrate, dominate, etc) do try to find outlets for those by joining the military or legal system. I guess it is somewhat better than the alternative of them directing that explosive, unfocused rage at society at large. Then again, when you get those kinds of people you get a public that hates and fears cops, judges, lawyers and soldiers. So that isn’t good either. ---
