Ok I made a brave decision today and downloaded the youtube version of the video to my ipod so I could watch it at work for a second time. Apparently I am a glutton for punishment. :crazy: And I should note that the only youtube version I could find yesterday was the one with the missing 13 minutes. Maybe I can find the real one on youtube soon? Anyone seen it?
Anyway, I read this whole thread and I have a few comments.
First is this quote:
This is seriously the first time I've been angry, that I've been frustrated to the point where I can't even think straight at this moment
Made me laugh out loud, because it was exactly how *I* felt at that precise moment.
:bang:
And after listening to the short version three more times,
it just made me want to ARGUE with her. Like about the part that she has been praying every day for new insights to share, but then is outraged at the questions and wants to know why anyone could "seriously" think she has any "new insights". That's some strong faith right there.
Or how she doesn't hear any bad stuff, but JB is keeping her fully informed, and people on NG and the internet are making up "fabricated" and "disgusting" things about her. Well, KC, George and Cindy are facing these daily NG episodes and internet (and real life) speculators every hour of every day, not just those couple of hours a week. How about some sympathy? Oh yeah, never mind.
And when you come into the room and see your mother hysterically crying, and your "only source of information about the outside world" is out of town, it would be "normal" to say, what's wrong? Has something happened? Did you hear something about Caylee???? Rather than laugh and overlook her.
And I am amused that as much Kool-aid as KC hands out, she certainly seems to be drinking some of JB's. Her parents (and LA, in his phone call released before) all seem to be trying to let her know that JB has to look out for himself first and no matter what he says, she is still a client and he has a goal. KC has put her entire rest of her life into the hands of this man (not that anyone's hands could save her at this point, not arguing that) and her whole family tries to get her to take a hard look at him and realize that maybe he ISN'T sending her messages, or giving her the ones from her family, or telling her how bad her situation REALLY is, or giving her good advice on talking with her family or LE. But KC puts her foot down - nope, JB is doing "absolutely" everything to keep her perfectly informed and up to date on everything she needs to know, and the fact that her entire family voices suspicions about him makes her grab onto him even more. Like: "I'm 12 old and you don't like the friends I hang out with - you say they are bad influences? Well I'll show you! My friends are the best friends ever and I will hang out with them even MORE now!"
I look forward to the delightful day when KC is facing an appeal and chooses a new attorney because JB promised to get her out and then let her down, and how he betrayed her.
I should note that in mid July I turned on Nancy Grace in time to see the pictures of Caylee and heard NG say she was missing. And I turned the channel to whatever it was I wanted to watch that night and said to myself, "That poor mother, she must be worried to death about that sweet little girl. Look how cute she is! Ugh. I hope she is rescued soon and is too little to remember whatever her kidnapper has done to her." Later that night I checked WS to see if there was an Amber alert for Caylee. Those 2 hours in between were the sum total of my sympathy for KC.
Finally, as I noted before, she does not mention "Zanny" by name once, and she doesn't ask about the investigation once. If you buy the fact that she could not have any new insights after being out of the loop a month, you have to consider the fact that she could GET new insights from what is going on in the investigation. Like, "Oh, Lake County??? OMG I just remembered Zanny runs a laudromat there!" Or some such. But she doesn't ask, and they don't tell. So I think neither party really wants new insights.
OK I am hitting the hay. You all have a great night!
