24. Evidently she KNOWS that, too...
see how much she displays them and kicks and twists her foot.

A well-paid, rw media-whore BIMBO! A few years ago she even admitted "flirting" her way to the top. "Flirting"....Yeah...Right...

30. You should have been there today then because
Michael Moore said that Al Roker gave him a foot massage between his two appearances on the show. I know that thought must be driving you crazy....:)

22. Wow, where a man's mind goes
She's a nationally prominent "journalist," and all you can think about is sleeping with her. Is that how you judge women's credentials and behavior, fuckable or not?

36. Are we talking about the SAME Katie Couric?
Are we talking about the SAME Katie Couric?

I was thinking of the Newsbot on The Today Show.

If you know a journalist named Katie Couric, please let me know.

Thanks!

25. Apparently someone in a position to elevate her
from intern to host of the show agreed with your feelings.

5. Compared to the alternatives
the Bill Hemmers and Soledad O'Briens of the world, she's the best there is, although that's not saying a lot.

8. NO - squirrell like cheeks with a high gigly voice and acts like she's 12?
That Katie Couric? The one who is so cheap but signed a contract for $64M? That the one you're asking about?

9. I used to watch Today every day, until they had Kitty Kelley on.
Now I am off MSM totally. I watch Democracy Now and Journal on Link or Free Speech TV.

11. Katie Needs Some Make-Up Lessons: LESS-IS-MORE!!
Too much lip liner.
Too much eye shadow.
Too much poofy-hair (sometimes it looks like she just came in from a windstorm).

14. Oh, she Rocks!
Although she is a product of what the pay no attention to the
big picture that is the media today. i.e. the horrid lose of life in S.E.
Asia but mot a word about the 100,000 dead Iraqis who just happened to
be living there when bush started his criminal war to create terrorists.

:kick:

38. More than 100,000 families in Iraq grieve as much as David Bloom's family
David Bloom was The Today show correspondent who died in Iraq from an un-treated blood clot in his leg.

" Dehydration and being unable to stretch his legs for long periods of time have been suggested as the cause of the clot, which obstructed the pulmonary artery in his lungs."
http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/Pf/0,1527,11575,00.html

It was all over the news-- especially the Today Show-- for about a week, before Americans got bored with it and moved on to other tragic distractions.

I don't mean to diminish the personal loss to Mr. Bloom's family or the staff of The Today Show, but answer me this:

The spent a week to eulogize David Bloom, but where are the eulogies to the Iraqi women, children, and other civilians who were killed in Iraq?

There are more than 100,000 families in Iraq right now who are grieving every bit as much as David Bloom's family is.

Shouldn't we be seeing at least SOMETHING on The Today Show about that?

Oh, sure. We get stories of our own grieving war widows. But we only see the ones who say, "I am proud for his sacrifice."

And the media was thrilled to cover the super-patriotic story of Pat Tillman, until it came out that he was an atheist.

At Tillman's funeral, his brother Rich said, "Pat isn’t with God. He’s fucking dead. He wasn’t religious. So thank you for your thoughts, but he’s fucking dead."
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2004/05/04/SPG5K6FD091.DTL

You don't hear the media talking about THAT much.

Katie Couric is not a journalist. None of them on The Today Show are journalists. Al Roker comes closest, because he reports on the weather.

The Today Show is nothing but a bunch of self-serving cheerleaders,. Their job isn't so much to support the Republicans as it is to put lipstick on the pig that is the media. They are the pretty face, the PR front people, the goodwill ambassadors, for the media.

But Catie Couric is still one fuckable little NewsBot.

15. I USED to like her ok, until I realized she was a freeper queen.
I didn't realize that until this administration...perhaps the clues were there, but I didn't pick up on them until then.

Other than that, for her age, she IS fairly attractive, and I wouldn't kick her out of bed. Of course, my WIFE would kick us both out of bed with a Howitzer, but that's another story.

19. She may well be one of the "liberal" media....
Who comes from a liberal background & has liberal ideas in private, but follows orders on camera. And is well paid for it.

21. RW witch?
She may be onscreen fluff but her personal politics are known to be left wing liberal dem. Her whole fam is left wing liberal. She is typically one of the so called media elite the right hates so much. Though how she is a threat is beyond me.

27. If what you say is true....
if she is indeed a "left wing liberal dem" then her oncamera posture shows her to truly be classed among those who are called, "media whores" because, IMO, she certainly promotes the rw agenda for cash.

33. She sometimes breaks out of her reigns
There have been occaisions where she takes it to someone and lets her left leaning side show. She sometimes goes off script.

I am by no means saying she is a champion of the left. She is simply a person in a high pay job doing as is expected of her. She is not putting her carreer on the line for her beliefs. Though sometimes she does get uppity. And the right hates uppity women.

23. I like her
but I don't respect her as a journalist

I think she is nice to look at, but not much of a journalist.

35. Katie Couric gets a lot of mileage out of middle America's
well-known sympathies and she is a widow. That is probably the only sympathy that I have for her...other than that...she is media scum IMO.

29. I admire her, though I think
her gazillion dollar contracts have turned her into a corporate ho, probably why you get the RW vibe?

I stopped watching Today in favor of Imus (on MSNBC) at that hour, when cranky is preferred over perky...heh.

is that retched Diane Sawyer.
