Guilty until proven innocent
Grace not only ran her bullying interview with a woman whose 2-year-old son had disappeared after the woman had committed suicide, she offered the woman's suicide -- two hours after her phone interview with Grace -- as a selling point for her story. That’s cajones that even Stephen Colbert can’t boast.
I think it can be said that the jury’s in; Grace is guilty as charged; string ’er up. But as Attorney General of the Land of Television, Nancy with the Snarling Eyes would certainly reduce the number of cases that go to trial and, therefore, the cost to taxpayers.
Your Mayor had the privilege to appear Ms. Grace’s CNN Headline News program. Herewith, the transcript:
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
NANCY GRACE, HOST: It’s been called one of the most heinous crimes of the century: The assassination of John F. Kennedy. We have tracked down new evidence that may force the re-opening of this landmark case. With me now, The Mayor of Television. Mr. Mayor, sit down. Sit down.
MAYOR: Uh, Nancy, why am I here?
GRACE: I ask the questions here, Bubba. Is it true you once lived in Dallas?
MAYOR: Yes…
GRACE: The same exact city in which John F. Kennedy was murdered, correct?
MAYOR: Yes, but…
GRACE: What, you’re going to say Kennedy wasn’t killed in Dallas?
MAYOR: No, but I lived there in the ’80s. Uh…
GRACE: And I guess there’s just no such thing as vacations or traveling about the country, is there?
MAYOR: Well…
GRACE: And you held a rifle when you were in Dallas, did you not?
MAYOR: Well, that’s true, although it was more north of Dallas, in McKinney…
GRACE: Splitting hairs. Quit ducking my questions. What were you doing the day of November 23, 1963?
MAYOR: Mmm, I can’t really remember…
GRACE: Oh, that’s convenient. Honestly, Mr. Mayor, that’s the oldest out in the book. You’re going to have to do much better than that to elude my exquisite grilling of you.
MAYOR: Nancy, I was two years old in 1963. I couldn’t…
GRACE: Boy, it’s every excuse in the book for you, isn’t it? I’m sick of your evasions.
MAYOR: But Oliver Stone proved – he proved – well – The Warren Commission found –
GRACE: You’re beneath contempt. Get out of my studio and run. Run, before the authorities figure out what I already know.
And, dear constituents, I did. Run I did. Because by the end of the interview Ms. Grace appeared to be salivating, and I'm pretty sure I saw a knife and fork in her jacket pocket.
David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place.
Comments
She really went too far with that woman. And, so far as I know, she's distancing herself from blame.
Maybe she's on the phone to Jenny Jones for advice.
She needs to put that fork in her own eye.
