2009.12.15 Discuss Today Show here

[TrY]

I watched the MSNBC videoclip of CA, GA, and BC on The Today show. My impression is that today was trying to put a positive spin on last Friday's hearing when JA gave a devastating argument describing how Caylee must have died.

I watched the youtube videoclip in post # 41 of this thread and I really wonder if CA and GA will every accept that Casey did it, even if it's proved at Casey's trial? My impression is no. Meredith Viera did ask them if they could accept that Casey was responsible for Caylee's death.

Also contrast how Cindy minimizes Casey not reporting Caylee missing in the Today show interview with Cindy's 3rd 911 call to the police back in July 2008. Back then Cindy was sobbing on the phone when she was saying that Caylee was missing for a month.

From about the time marker 5:45 mark of the youtube videoclip:

Meredith:
Cindy and George, uh, do you still stand by your daughter a hundred percent? Still believe that she is innocent?

Cindy:
Yes.

George:
Uh, like I’ve said many times, I don’t believe my daughter could hurt anyone. I really don’t believe that. I don’t believe that Cindy and I could bring someone into this world who would want to hurt someone especially their own daughter. There just -- There’s just no way!

Cindy:
I believe in Casey 100%. I know, you know – I know that she loved Caylee more than anything.

Meredith:
But I know that you also want to know the truth about what happened to your granddaughter …

Cindy:
Absolutely.

Meredith:
… and in the course of this trial next year it became evident that Casey was behind the death of her daughter, is that something you could accept?

Cindy:
I, I can’t accept what I’ve been seeing because I don’t believe that they’ve done a full investigation and I would like them to continue to do so, there’s a lot of evidence -- out there that has not been looked into, I mean nothing ties Casey -- to this. There’s no motive. There’s um, you know there’s no evidence linking Casey to Caylee except for the fact that she didn’t report her missing and that’s the only thing.

It strikes me that if you go over the last 3-4 "A Family" TV media interviews you would find the exact same questions and the exact same answers phrased the same way. I know there are lots of repeats on TV but it seems the A's don't even need to be flown in, they could replay an interview and no-one would even notice. :twocents:

Do they think that there is anyone out there that actually believes this BS they're spewing? Do they think they are helping kc at all? They are just proving day in and day out that they live in a parallel universe.

Every time I hear them claim there is no evidence linking kc, I want so bad to jump through the tv and strangle them. I wish JUST ONCE one of these reporters would ask "well, what about the decomp in her car? The laundry bag linked to the house? The duct tape from the house? The other items from the house?" Sure, many things can be spun - the items from the house, the non-existent nanny and her vacant apartment. Her refusal to report Caylee missing and her begging CA not to. Maybe even the searches on the computer. BUT you cannot explain decomp in the car. In the car kc drove solely.

I agree with others that say the A's will never admit kc's guilt. I think even if kc herself confessed, they would be telling her "No, sweetie, you didn't".

From what I've heard the questions are submitted to the A's for approval and the interviewers are told they can't ask certain questions. It makes sense when you think of all the softball questions they're lobbed. CA has to control everything!

If they don't pass CA review then, "No Interview for you, NEXT!" :furious: [Think Soup Nazi from Seinfeld]

What's really strange about the alternate universe the Anthonys inhabit is that they have totally isolated themselves there and alienated all support systems. IMHO, what happened to Caylee was so horrific, so traumatic, that the Anthonys would have gotten sympathy and support from friends, family and strangers had they just allowed themselves to accept the possibility that KC killed her daughter. I know that I for one would never belittle them for remaining supportive of KC even while they considered her involvement in the tragic saga. She remains their daughter; they have every right to stand behind her and bolster her with their presence and love.

But to go on and on, ad nauseum, denying KC's culpability in her baby's death, appearing on various shows and drinking from the Koolaid cup, trying to shift blame onto innocent friends, lovers and the meter man . . . it's reprehensible. Not only have they angered and alienated anyone who possesses half a brain, but they've severely damaged KC's case with their conflicting accounts and stories. Let's let this play out in the courts. I've heard enough from the Anthonys to last a lifetime.

I've come to the conclusion that CA will not accept any evidence proving KC killed Caylee. If the sky being blue was evidence against KC, evidence proving she killed Caylee; CA wouldn't accept it. She would argue that the sky isn't actually blue, it's many colors depending on the weather, the time of day and the sun and clouds...
If there was an actual video tape of the murder as it occurred CA still would not accept it. She would argue that the video was doctored, it was a set up, it was a look-a-like etc...I truly believe if God himself came down from heaven and said "Cindy, KC murdered Caylee!" CA would argue with God and call him a liar.
She will never accept the fact that the spawn of her loins is a cold blooded killer. Never! She will live in denial for the rest of her life on this earth.

CA's face is frozen. She can barely move her lips to speak.

B-O-T-O-X :crazy:

Well.

IMO, the only good thing that came from this interview is having shown Ashton and what he said at the hearing. Then of course, there was Casey's request to Andrea to "make him stop", and her response of, "I can't." I appreciated the playing of that.

Cindy said she had to leave the courtroom during Ashton's description of what happened with Caylee. IIRC, I think George got up and left, then Cindy followed.

George and Cindy both spoke more softly than they usually do. I hope this is not the beginning of a Sympathy Tour for Casey, or was it that they like to do their Christmas shopping in New York?

If Casey, George, and Cindy cannot bear to listen to what the State has to say in the motion hearings, then there will be big drama during the trial. None of the three want to hear what happened to Caylee and so much will come out during the trial. I see any one of the three, or maybe ALL three being held in contempt of court during opening arguments because they do not want to hear what Caylee went through and that their daughter being accused of it.

The Anthony's need to go home, sit down, and SHUT UP!

MOO

Judge S. will have to install a revolving door when it's time for the trial, so CA/GA don't cause a distraction during the many, many times they run for cover, out of the courtroom with their hands over their ears, shouting "la-la-la".

Please Mods, I am not being snarky or making fun of .....if you've read my posts over the years, you'll see that's not my style.

But now that I see you've brought this up, SuziQ, I want to respond because it's been on my mind since I saw the interview.
Because of what must be the worst stress in the world this last year and a half for any Grandparent......has CA lost so much weight, just in her face, that the weight loss has totally distorted her features?

OR: was she trying really hard to keep her lips together in hopes of not blurting out something she shouldn't?

I'm being serious here...something was definitely off with CA's mouth and cheekbones.....I immediately thought of Barbara Walters mouth and cheekbones when I saw CA at the beginning of the interview.

I'm nowhere near a body language expert so I was just curious, other opinions......just wondered if it was stress/lack of eating or was she trying hard to hold her mouth closed for fear of saying something she shouldn't?

I vote for the trying to hold her mouth closed for fear of spouting off.:crazy:

Truthfully, when an older person loses weight, the face tends to become older looking and more wrinkled. To me, CA looks "tighter" in the face, with no sagging. Really does say face lift or botox to me.

Wonder how that will play to the Jury as Conscience of Daughter's Guilt?

 

[mitzi]

why is it that George ALWAYS has a Caylee badge on... but Ive yet to see Cindy with one..? odd.

I'm thinking maybe it's because George really loved Caylee, and Cindy only used Caylee as a pawn to "one-up" KC in everything. I'm really starting to believe that Cindy NEVER loved Caylee...she NEVER looked for her...NEVER "knocked on one damn door"...she NEVER mentions her...she NEVER cries for her...even Caylee's memorial was all about KC, CA, GA and LA. I think that Cindy is so full of anger and has been all her life, that she has no room for any other emotions.

 

[mitzi]

That was ME who said: "that's it"? :woohoo:

LOL!...I loved how you stopped the video in the middle of it to give your commentary. :blowkiss:

 

[RR0004]

...but really...was there anything newsworthy here? I'm having a difficult time seeing any value to even airing these interviews. The facts haven't changed: Casey is still in jail, the trial is still a long way off, and the As say absolutely nothing of substance. The interview was dull.

OT- I think CA had her eyes done. JMO

 

[txsvicki]

I'm always interested to see what George has to say, because he always makes things about him and praises himself, even at the funeral. To say that HE and Cindy couldn't have had a child that would do this is a ridiculous thing to say IMO. Why didn't he just simply say that he does not believe that Casey killed Caylee. Also, I don't think Cindy had any facelifts. She'd look much younger if she did, and she doesn't. Maybe some botox or Restalyn injections, and chemical peels though. Cindy didn't look that old or saggy to begin with and she's still young enough for her face to not sag and wrinkle worse when losing weight. The upper lip area looked better before.

 

[Curious Me]

Shame on Cindy and George for daring to keep pushing their denial on tv. I agree it makes it look like they must not have loved Caylee very much. What is wrong with them that they need to show their faces so much? I wish they'd visit their perfect daughter in jail if they love and believe in her so much. (and stay off my tv) What liars.

 

[Curious Me]

Just had a nightmare thought. It's now 2029, twenty years from now, and Casey's awaiting The Needle. Guess who's on tv assuring us of her innocense? Oh no, not THEM!

 

[ZsaZsa]

B-O-T-O-X :crazy:

Plus her eyebrows have been lifted, they are much higher than they were a few weeks ago. Not to mention that very tight jaw line.....:innocent:

 

[Tsunami]

“Cindy and I could NEVER of brought anyone into this world that would do this!”

Think about this….They didn’t bring a child into this world who would do something like this. Casey was bought into this world with a clean slate and their lack of parenting skills, discipline and learned behavior from her parents allowed her to become the psychopath she is today.

While growing up I remember parents just like the G&C, their children could do no wrong and they never got their legs striped with a green switch like the rest of us kids did in the neighborhood. The children are now narcissists just like their parents.

 

[Lexington]

Don't the producers of the Today Show, GMA, LK, etc. ask the A's when they come knocking for interviews if they "have any new material". It can't be helping the show's ratings by showing these two charlatans saying the SOS over and over again. Come on, A's give us something new!

 

[Elley Mae]

When Meredith says "when it became evident last year that your daughter was involved" George gets a little fidgety. I think between Cindy and George, he is the one that will have the most problems on the stand at trial.
