    "I hate you, Nancy Grace!"

    That's what I say damn near every time I turn to CNN. If I never see her off-off-off-Beltway eyerolling again, and never hear her smug act of "playing hardball" with defense attorneys who are going to say the things that paid defense attorneys say, I will be a much happier man.

    I saw that "rape stat" - who calls them stats? - bit when it aired on CNN. Absolutely flabbergasting. The assholery Grace and her monkey-boy demonstrated with their flat attempt at broad comedy lowered my jaw for fifteen minutes.

    Taking the side of kidnapped little white girls isn't brave. She's another useless, graceless network timefiller. I could read a Turow novel and learn more about the law than two weeks of her shtick could teach me. John Walsh is 20 times the human being.
