WITH DIGNITY AND GRACE

Nancy Grace is HLN's mouth that roars. From Casey Anthony to the Duke LaCrosse case, and Elizabeth Smart to Anna Nicole. Do you need a talking head that won't let facts get in the way? Then Nancy Grace is your gal.

If Bill O'Reilly had a vagina and a slightly smaller number of brain cells, it's likely you'd get Princess Nancy. Venom, shiny suits, accusations and frosted tips are the order of the day here. The validity of your point is only measured by the volume with which you make it.

Although the N in HLN is supposed to stand for News, Grace doesn't cotton to that old chestnut. In here eyes, the N stands for Namecalling. Rapist. Murderer. Killer. Criminal. News has nothing to do with her approach or her style. It's like a vendetta being played out on TV an hour at a time.

At age 48, Grace gave birth to twins two years ago. There's not anything inherently wrong with 48 year old women giving birth to children, it's just tough to imagine being a kid in that household. One has to believe that even Joan Crawford was a better mother than she's likely to be. Can you envision what it will be like the first time one of those kids gets in trouble at school? The child will immediately be convicted in the court of public opinion. Grace will load up her show with talking heads who "have been assured" of the child's culpability. One sided commentaries will run for weeks on
end and eventually the poor kid be driven to go live somewhere in Illinois with Drew Peterson.
