[digg=http://digg.com/television/Nancy_Grace_Enough_with_the_coverage_of_tot_Caylee]Nancy Grace: you are like a shortsighted player in the game of Risk who places all of his or her troops solely in one territory. The strategy is better than spreading yourself thin, but greatly detracts from the interest of the game.
Screencap from CNN page
Nancy Grace, why have you dedicated every one of your shows since JULY 18TH to the case of missing “tot” Caylee Anthony? 37 shows and counting, although I do realize that guest hosts have filled in at times. I must admit, however, that I had no problem watching the nascent coverage of this case in late July . I was captivated by the “tot mom party photos” and how such images could even exist. But August 4th was well over a month ago. Since then you have employed the aid of multiple psychics, dealt with a bounty hunter, closely followed the family, and dealt with Casey getting out of jail, not once, but twice.
Caylee, by Afriel Sanguis
Although it is tough to see injustice when you’re so emotionally invested in a case, there are other victims out there. You’re right – the authorities have dropped the ball on the Anthony case. You made it clear that Casey Anthony is connected with the loss of her daughter and I thank you for making Caylee Anthony a household name, but it is time to fight for other victims.
As fan of Shakespeare in your college days, you would understand what Edmund in King Lear meant when he proclaimed:
This is the excellent foppery of the world, that,
when we are sick in fortune,–often the surfeit
of our own behavior,–we make guilty of our
disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars: as
if we were villains by necessity; fools by
heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and
treachers, by spherical predominance; drunkards,
liars, and adulterers, by an enforced obedience of
planetary influence; and all that we are evil in,
by a divine thrusting on: an admirable evasion
of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish
disposition to the charge of a star!
And, Jerry Seinfeld’s statement that a dingo, or even Montauk monster, ate the toddler isn’t offensive – it’s just farcical. First off, very few dingoes live in the U.S. and mother Casey would have been hard pressed to find one. (We now know that chloroform may have been used, anyway) No one went to Australia’s outback, either. Secondly, the Montauk monster is most likely creatively manipulated latex. Latex cannot eat a child, although it can prevent a child’s existence.
P.S. The word ‘tot’, although a valid and appropriate shorthand for television, needs to look for its real home: the ‘tater.
