The Nancy Grace Conversation

The Nancy Grace Conversation

I can't stand Nancy Grace. I am sure she is a fine person in real life, but there are at least 4 things that bother me: The Nancy Grace Conversation

Her allegations of prosecutorial misconduct
Her knack for berating guests to the point they kill themselves
Her disregard for innocence until proven guilty.
And if I hear her talk about Natalie Holloway one more time¹...God help us all.

The interesting part about all this: Allen has been good friend's with Nancy Grace's husband for over 20 years. Which is ok. I am sure Allen can't stand some of my friends.² But it leads to some hilarious conversations between the two of us...

Here's the background. Nancy is having a party, so Allen got an evite from her. And by her, I mean Nancy's assistant. But the funny thing about the evite is that she spelled "Grace" - "Gace." I saw this and was found it slightly humorous.

Now please remember that Allen makes fun of me for not being a good speller, and, lets be honest, if Allen ever needed an evite sent out, I would be the one to do it.

And here is our e-mail back-and-forth....

Andy
Is this Nancy Grace's party and her assistant just doesn't know how to spell her name ;-)

Say what you will about my spelling, but if I ever fill out an evite for you, I'll spell your name right.

Allen
That right there is why you do not work for Nancy Gace but rather for Allen Hurnt

Andy
Ohh I thought it was because she was a disgrace excuse of an attorney...but no, no, you're right...it's the spelling thing.

Allen
Did you mean undefeated?³ I thought so

Andy
The Patriots were undefeated, it didn't mean they didn't cheat....

Allen
Did they win the trophy or not? I thought so

Andy
Did Nancy finish her career as an attorney or not? Oh that's right, she's on network TV right behind Showbiz Tonight. No totally, I understand. That's totally like winning the SuperBowl.

Showbiz Tonight Anchor: "...Well that was our story on Paris Hilton not wearing panties at Club Pear in Beverly Hills. Now continuing with Headline News true journalism and commentary, let's kick it over to Nancy Grace..."

Nancy Grace: "...Thanks. I have so won the SuperBowl being on this Network. My only regret is that E! didn't pick me up first and then I could be with that dream boat Joel McHale."

Allen
And I was a megachurch pastor who now follows RERUNS of XXXXXXXXXXXX⁴

Andy
And I followed you. Hmmm.....

Touché Allen. Touché

What can I say. Allen's a good friend and defends her well. And I freaking love my job!

why did you feel the need to share this us? Granted I got a little laugh out of it - but really, were you just searching for a blog to write and this was all you could come up with?

Ouch! Man. Did someone wake up on the wrong side of Adam this morning or what?

Three main reasons for sharing:

I thought it was funny and light-hearted and I have a tendency to be serious with my blog
It allows me to show an appreciation for the job I have. One where Allen and I not only work a lot and work very hard, but where we have a good time
It allowed me to continue my ongoing legal-snobbery, thus getting my lawyer fix, with out actually being a lawyer

I'll stick to the graphs about fuel prices in the future to make you happy. I have got a real serious and heady blog coming up called "To Have or To Be" detailing why as Americans we have lost the ability to enjoy life because we are a "having" culture and not a "being" culture. While everyone else falls asleep, I am sure you will enjoy that one.

Sheesh!

And PS...in honor of your comment, I am turning the following line's footnote from CJ to Sarah: I am sure Allen can't stand some of my friends.²

what the hell did I ever do to Alan, other than the whole having a kid while on vacation, which forced you to miss some work....

By the way, I disagree with Alan's new #1 hated Andy Friend - its nice to be able to read one of your blogs and not really have to think for a change!

You didn't do anything. I was just picking someone to be funny and who else would I chose besides you.

It was suppose to be heard in the tone Peter always uses on Family Guy when he makes statements like, "Everybody, I'm fat. This is nobody's fault. Meg." You know, implying that it really was her fault. Funny stuff. Just can't speak "tone" on the blog.

That's what I was thinking. And then I get reamed by Sarah-I-Only-Like-Serious-Topics-Ewler. Sheesh!

I think she should have a club in her hand when she is on the air. Then there could be a dead horse on the ground and instead of talking the whole time she could just beat the horse for a half hour to an hour

That would probably be more entertaining.

holy cow! I'm sorry! I was totally messing with you :) I like hearing baout your life and what you are up to and I know I originaly gave you a hard time about your whole "twitter" thing (or whatever it's called) but I actually find myself checking it while I'm work - why? Because I care about you and do actually care about what you are doing.

I'm sorry for being mean, and I don't think Allen hates me, he's never met me!

Ohh Sarah. Don't back down. That takes all the fun out of it.

I know you were just being funny. All of the above is light-hearted retaliation. ;)

And Allen doesn't have CJ either. I was attempting to be funny by just randomly picking a friend.
