    Nancy Graces disgraces Sanchez.

    LOL

  • stoogedudes

    You know, there was a time when Larry King had newsmakers and important people on his show. Now he resorts to the Joy Behar’s, Bill Maher’s and Chelsea Handler’s of the world. No wonder his ratings are lower than his testiculars.

    CNN is in ratings free fall….but of course Eliot Spitzer will fix on all that.

    And now that Roman Polanski is no longer at risk for extradition, maybe CNN can find a show for him too.
