Peterson's Grace
I have gone on rants against Nancy Grace thrice before (see here, here, and here) and today I noticed Orin Kerr of VC write the following about the matter:
How much do I hate thee? Let me count the ways.
If you read the VC, you probably don't care about the Scott Peterson trial. It doesn't raise any interesting legal issues, and worse, gets the UBERANNOYING Nancy Grace on TV all the time. (emphasis added).As a law professor, Kerr has far more expertise about the legal profession than this lowly 1L who just took his first exam (thank you thank you, and no, I haven't yet clicked to check my grades). However, I have a sneaking suspicion that those of us who can't stand Grace find fault with her on a much more personal level than anything else. I mean I wrote before about how her perspective does not encompass what prosecutors let alone all lawyers should strive for, but after watching her yap on and on and on about the jur-rawrs I'm convinced I don't like her as a person. Nancy, you're more fucking annoying than Carrot Top. (The only reason I'm not going off on a tirade about her ATTEMPTED use of literary devices is because I'm too lethargic, but suffice it to say, some of the metaphors she chooses would make Robert Browning look like a good poet.)
How much do I hate thee? Let me count the ways.
