If something terrible happens to you--say, your mother kills you or your husband murders you or you get kidnapped on vacation in the Caribbean--you better hope you're white and pretty. 'Cause then Nancy Grace can come to the rescue! CNN's heinous anchoress has taken it upon herself--and no telling how many underling reporters actually doing the work--to work "cold cases."Grace's latest cause, a blond, blue-eyed mom from Illinois, was last seen in June during a messy divorce. Also on the Grace docket are college student Brittany Zimmerman (white, pretty), Brianna Maitland (white, pretty), Lisa Stebic (white, pretty), Margaret Haddican (white, pretty), Tara Grinstead (white, beauty queen bonus!), and JonBenet Ramsey, the "Christmas cold case," so I guess it came along with a Scrooge toy or something. By my count, there are at least five more pretty white girls that Nancy Grace is worried about.
Grace does appear to have somebody working on the disappearances of three African-Americans, a 40-year-old Atlanta hairstylist (also pretty) and two little girls (cute, naturally.) You'd think that female victims of crime here in our US and A are at least always pretty, and probably white. I'm sure I don't have to tell you how ridiculous that is--Broadsheet consistently does a good job on the subject. In the meantime, if you think someone's coming to knife you, maybe keep a skin bleaching kit and some mascara in your purse. 'Cause Nancy might be your only hope.

She seems to be a huge hit in Texas though, specifically Austin. Everytime I'm there for work, the hotel public tvs have her show on every morning. I'm scared to ask them to change to a less-biased news source (like Fox - zing!) for fear of getting hogtied or whatever they do to us minorities down there.
Posted 12/30/2008 at 12:33:57 PMAs an Austinite, I can't think of a place I've been where Nancy Grace was playing anywhere. Maybe don't stay at the scary Round Rock Best Western any more? :)

We're usually at the Embassy Suites downtown, on S. Congress. It's always on every morning there. Hard to eat breakfast with her and her ilk yammering at you from a big tv. :P
