Early Thursday morning, Mediaite founder Dan Abrams appeared on Good Morning America, alongside Nancy Grace, to discuss the Conrad Murray verdict. At the very end of their segment, Abrams went off-topic and congratulated Grace on her Dancing With The Stars success, mentioning her now-famous cartwheel. As the show went to break, Grace told Abrams to unbutton his shirt, because he was going to do one.

Back from commercial and the local weather update, the duo broke from a slow dance in the middle of Times Square. Grace pulled off a textbook cartwheel. Abrams then went for it. He had a nice run-up, did an unnecessarily small jump, then…. did something. This may have been the first cartwheel Abrams has ever attempted, and if you listen closely after, as Grace consoles him and the GMA crew openly mock the attempt, it almost sounds like he said he’d never done one before. Rick Perry tweeted that he was embarrassed for him. Law students everywhere began practicing cartwheels in case they, someday, become legal analysts and are forced to do one on national television after being goaded by a fellow legal analyst.

Word on the street is that Obama may take a job as pitching coach for the Chicago Huskies, the newest team in the FBL ( Female Baseball League).

Sadly, this is why Renee Zellweger left him, performance issues.

Someone’s brave today.

That was pretty much the worse televised cartwheel of all time.

Mediaite needs a show like TMZ, where Dan is surrounded by strapping young black and white men ridicule him to his face between clips from The Five and Piers Morgan Tonight.

I got more out of this piece than a bad cartwheel.

WHY is everyone on this forum so MEAN, and so QUICK to judge someone. He gave it a TRY, so shut the HELL up with this stuff. If you don’t like GMA, then quit watching it.

LOL (wild applause …) Nancy Grace is honorably awarded the Betsy Johnson Amazing Geriatric Cartwheels Marketing Award; and Dan is presented with a lovely pair of Kangaroo Shoes. Don’t cry Dan, we turtles can have fun too, and when you jump up, you feel almost as high as the big people.

And you’re a lousy voter.

Abrams, I just finished watching the forum at Harvard with you, Tom Mesereau (The Mez) and Martha Cokely after that ’05 Sneddon debacle where he made fools out of himself and you. Tom Mesereau KICKED YOUR LYING SORRY LOW DOWN ASS in great style. Loved it! And you did not report fairly, you out and out lied your wig wearing ass off. (The Mez has so much hair) You were so sure the all white jury would convict him regardless of the evidence just because he was Michael Jackson and he would rot in jail. (Unlike you the jury went on the evidence. NOT GULITY 12 times over now don’t you feel the idiot). Then you could brag on TV, here and FROM every mountain top on how good you are at reading juries. Never mind that in EVERY single high profile case you ever slobbered about, you got shit in your face. The latest Casey Anthony. Wow did you ever practice law? Sorry for your clients. So now you spin. I’ve read the entire trail transcripts, the Jordan Chandler crap, the overseas crap, the train ride crap, FBI 10 year investigation, and on and on. Everything on MJ as to this molestation fantasy you and your ratings hungry smut hog cohorts the lied about. You don’t give up do you, all that crap you said after the MEZ mopped the floor with your “do anything for ratings” sorry ass was pure spin. If you researched the case you know the truth. You are a low life liar, who will do ANYTHING to get the ratings=$$$. You wanted to take an completely innocent man’s life away just for money. As I said you will do anything. Hey, somewhere someone is looking for a hit man, you will do anything! Here’s novel idea, RESEARCH, use it and maybe you won’t look like the court jester you are. You should check out your male family members, especially the older ones, you may just find out how they “got” sex. You bald headed, one ball freak. BTW I love Keith Olbermann, he has both balls and a head full of hair.
