Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

    Nancy (dis)Grace

    Scarborough actually ran with that one last night (“Nancy Disgrace?”), it was fun to watch. He had three panel members on, only one of whom actually supported Nancy Grace, and only then at the end. Joe can be a dick sometimes, but it was nice watching him use that to stick it to Grace, nonetheless.

    She’s absolutely vile. And on a more practical note, I’m betting the investigators aren’t too thrilled with her for having driven their best source of information in that case to suicide.

    Oh man, I thought you were talking about the Dog the Bounty Hunter arrested thread, as it was on top.

    I’m no fan of Nancy Grace. She’s a nasty woman, and I don’t think she’s at all helpful.

    You know, I actually liked Greta Vansustern before she went over to Fox.

    I glimpsed her on CNN during the post Jon-Benet nut escapade; she was furious because, as far as I could tell, releasing a whacko who could not have killed Jon-Benet made it impossible for any other progress to ever be made in the case. It made no sense to me, but I watched for a few minutes and thought “Man.. are you ever desperate to be outraged. I guess dismissed charges are real ratings killers.”

    I tell you who likes her – me. I saw the whole thing, and I support Nancy Grace. She had the mother on of the missing child and was acting very supportive of her. Until the BS started. First Nancy asked if she had taken a polygraph or if the police asked her to. The mother hemmed and hawed, ala Scott Peterson, saying she wasn’t working with the police, the police told her not to tell, etc. Nancy asked the father- he immediately said they did, he took it, and the police never told him not to say whether he did.

    Then Nancy asked her where she was the day before. The mother said she was driving around with her son, and she went shopping. Nancy asked her politely where she drove around and where she went shopping. Nancy was like- name one store you went into because it may help people out there remember something. The woman hemmed and hawed again, saying the police told her not to tell. I think Nancy then asked the father if that was true and he said no it wasn’t.

    Now come on. What more do we need – even though there was more about the window screen, etc. The story didn’t add up. Nancy figured it out as well and started asking her in a harsh voice- WHY won’t you tell us what stores you went into if it will help your child? Why don’t you want to help your child?”

    I think it was an appropriate question given the cirumstance. See what you all don’t get is Nancy is tough, if you consider being honest about criminals tough. Thank god there is someone out there willing to speak up for victims. I think it’s pretty safe to say we know what the women’s suicide means. She knew she was called out on national TV by Nancy Grace. There was no hiding from that.

    scs,

    First of all, GFY
    Second, polygraph tests are inaccurate, they measure stress,

    Third, maybe the father didn’t know everything about the case, especially considering that they were going through a divorce at the time.

    Fourth, she was lured into thinking Nancy Grace was understanding, and then ambushed.

    Fifth, not everyone is a good enough public speaker that they can handle being accused of murder on national television articulately.

    Sixth, Nancy Grace isn’t honest about criminals, she is obsessed with presumed guilt, facts be damned. See the JonBennet guy for further proof.

    Seventh, It’s NOT HER JOB to interrogate witnesses on national TV, if anything, it hinders prosecutions by making fair trials more difficult and messing with persons of interest.

    Eighth, I assume that if/when someone else is implicated and the mother is exonerated, you will come back here and appologize to all of us for subjecting us to your glaring wrongness, and then write a letter of condolences to the family, appoligizing that you would ever watch, and therefore encourage, filth like Nancy Grace. Or not.

    Ninth, ALWAYS presume innocence until proven otherwise. Or, at least, respect that that is the way our system works, and is how it should work.

  18. 18.

    scs

    September 14, 2006 at 5:40 pm

    First of all, she never really suspected that Jon Benet guy- she made it clear she was suspicious of his story. Second of all, I will bet a million dollars that mother either killed or child or knew what happened to her child. She wouldn’t have acted like that otherwise. If she is found innocent, I will eat my hat.

    I guess the really sad thing is that now that she’s dead, it will make it harder to figure out just what happened to the little boy.

    It’s a talk show, not a courtroom. Her job is not to determine innocence or guilt. She browbeated a mother who was going through every mother’s worst nightmare — a missing child.

    If you ever have children, and suffer the horrible misfortune of losing your child, and then have total strangers accusing you, on national television, of killing your child, then perhaps you might be in a position to pronounce judgement on how eloquent and persuasive one should be under such circumstances. Until then, you’re only coming across as a heartless jerk, much like your heroine.

    You are quite right, of course. Truth is, millions of dollars and a lot of time could be saved by quickly and judiciously trying cases on television.

    Tell me one real courtroom that works better than the one on Judge Judy?

    Fancy lawyers and fancy judges aren’t necessary when you have straight-talking tv show anchors.

    I don’t know why people give you such a hard time.

    A little bit different, don’t you think?

    Scs, do you perhaps have prior experience in law enforcement? As a profiler perhaps? If not, please keep your assumptions to yourself. As for Nancy Grace, I find her vile, but she’s hardly the only one. Our modern media is ghoulish and this sort of trash sells. Of course, the public eats it all up…yet another reason I no longer watch TV.

    DougJ Says:

    My best guess is she started out as real, and some/most of the outrageous things she says are real, but at some point during Schiavo she heard the seductive siren song of trolling (or more charitably, spoofing. I seem to remember she’s come right out and said she’d like the latter). But who knows?

    Oh, so sorry, my bad. She didn’t have a total stranger, accusing her on national television of killing her child. Instead, she had a total stranger, insinuating on national television that she was suspect in her child’s disappearance.

    My, that makes all the difference in the world! Why, if I was in her shoes, I wouldn’t have been in the least bit upset about being cross-examined, like a suspect, during the most nightmarish thing a parent can go through.

    Nancy, don’t you have more important things to do (such as prepare for the upcoming lawsut filed against you by Melinda Duckett’s relatives for intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress upon Mrs Duckett or aiding a suicide by your actions) rather than hanging around various blogs writing letters supportive of yourself which were supposedly contributed by some third party?

    I find it absolutely unbelievable that the same woman who insists that no evidence is enough to show Schiavo was beyond help finds a tabloid TV hosts’ baseless accusations enough evidence to convict a young woman. How quickly you lost your profound respect for innocence, the rule of law, and life.

    A couple fallacies in your argument “Tom”. One we were going to let Terri die, hence I would think you’d need a lot of evidence there 2, I am not on the jury of Melinda Duckett, it’s a TV talk show. I am allowed to draw my own conclusions based on my perceptions of the woman’s behaviours, just like I am with anyone else I see or meet.

    I don’t see how aggressively asking her where she went shopping = you killed your child. If anything, it insinuates she is not forthcoming and straight about information about her child. And that was obviously true. Still not the same as saying “you killed your child”.
