» 18 comments

    It must really suck to be in a perpetual race for second with NO chance of ever being on top.

    Bitch Mom Nancy Grace should just go away.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_WH3ZLMM7CUKUHUIMK4TKXW6SQE John

    I think O’Donnell just needs to add a little more snark and arrogance.  Yeah, that’s it.

  • Arkansas Steve

    Michelle, there are a lot of places I NEVER want to be.
    ON TOP of Nancy Grace might lead the list!!

    I love that rachel Maddow is the highest rated show on MSNBC.

  • gordonbloyershow

    Having the highest rated bottom feeder is such an accomplishment. LOL.

    Nancy, Nancy, Nancy,  You should be ashamed of yourself.  You say The Casey Anthony case was not your cause but you LED the charge the whole way and continue to dribble and spew nasty toxic venom wwaayy after the jury of OUR peers has reached its verdict.  You call it first ammendment rights but it’s really a spoiled brat who didn’t get her way.  As a person who has made her money off of the legal system and now HLN pays you to whine on the air, you have shown a remarkable disdain for all that you supposedly believe in.  Just like a child who’s toys are taken away, eventually HLN is going to take the microphone away from you and send you to time out. While I am deeply saddened at the loss of an innocent little child your selfish rants make me sick to my stomach… I just hope that nothing happens to anyone related to the defelse as a result of people like you stirring up venom for ratings and personal selfish gain.

    Troubled.

    BOMBSHELL. this just in.. geraldo rivera has come up with evidence that the prosecution KNEW not 84 times was chloroform looked up on the internet but just 1 time by their very own expert wittness reports! Yet they chose not to mention that to the jury and hold to the 84 searches.. amazing..u mean even less evidence? hidden and would have caused a retrial anyways? hmmm smart jury to see between the lines..

    amazing this woman gets any ratings other than lowclass rating of the year.

    Gotta love those ratings! Fox News blows away the competition every time! Eat your hearts out, libs!

  • Mightymilfman

    Nancy Grace is a whining vindictive liar. When HLN/CNN/CourtTV finally pull the plug on her and her entire “Dead White Girl Hour” crew, (Jane Drunken Mitchell, Dr.? Drew and Mike Gag me lanos) it will not be soon enough.

  • Hagen619dj

    Totally agree with Mightymilfman.  Nancy, please try to find another subject. I don’t watch HLn/CNN like I used to after that trial. Just can’t stomach all the complaining.

  • Phthntr

    And if someone in  the ANTHONY family or attys families is hurt or killed, they can go righ to the  TRUTH WARRIOR and sue the living s*** out of her.  Shes been on a kill CASEY vendetta for 3 years.  And sadly, the verdict, well it gives her another boon in the KILL CASEY venue.  you see, no more story in a guilty verdict, but now…dont have to let the ANTHONY story ever die.  RATINGS BONANZA!  HLN will rue the day they decided to not control this hate monger….

  • Phthntr

    Does anyone remember when NANCY GRACE was assoiciated with truth and integrity and non biased reporting?  Well its been eyars, but sadly, I do.

    Shes on a mission to get someone killed in this trial aftermath, and HLN is setting the table for their own demise by not controlling this moron.

    NOTE 1:  This is not like the twins, its totlaly different and theres zero correlation to the twins and CAYLEE.

    NOTE 2:  Does anyone see the likeness of NANCY GRACE to TAMMY FAYE BAKER?  I certainly do, the false wimpering voice and the near tears.  I root for the tears every night when she starts with “If my twins….wimper wimper blah blah” and the crackling voice and watery eyes start up.  TAMMY FAYE was the queen of false tears and flowing make up..but Im sure we re going to see it soon from NANCY GRACE.

    NANCY GRACEs false attitude of the verdict is ridiculous too.  What weak story would she be covering if the ANTHONY trial had ended up a guilty verdict.  No story and no ratings, and thatas what this is truly about…RATINGS.

    Media whore #1:  NANCY GRACE

    Media Whore #2:  LEONARD “I have nothing intelligent to add nor inside information to expose” PADILLA.

    KATO KAELIN, the previous KING OF WHOREDOM, is so happy that hes re appearing on talk shows to talk about the OJS trial, give his “intellectual” (ha ha haha) input on the ANTHONY trial, knowing that his reign as the BIGGEST MEDIA WHORE in ENTERTAINMENT HISTORY…is over.

    CNN has hired such nuts as Grace, Morgan plus a few other nuts then fired of let their good their good journalist go. Then the big wigs sit back scratching their heads wondering what happen.
