Is Katie Couric a Dem - or at least leaning that way?

[hollywood926]

I read something in another thread that suggested otherwise, but I thought she was one of us! After all, Ann Coulter hates her and that's usually good enough for me.

Anyone know?

[smbolisnch]

1. I was under the impression that she was but could be wrong!

But I'm with you on the Ann Coulter part! :scared:

2. My take--she probably leans Dem, but cares more about her career

than any convictions. She'll go whichever way the wind blows--like most media whores.

But she apparently doesn't bend over for every Repuke who passes by, like Coulter does, so that's why Ann The Man hates her.

13. She leans into all kinds of positions for those G.E $millions$.

3. I have always assumed she was

but I don't know for sure.

The reason ann the man hates Katie is an interview Katie did several years ago where she made ann uncomfortable. I'll see if I can find a link. As I recall, it's kind of a funny story.

4. Don't know, and if she does her job I don't care.

It would be nice, but not necessary in her line of work.

5. I always thought she was a Dem. n/t

[blm]

6. She used to be a moderate Dem, but, since 2000 you'd never know it.

I think she's been coopted by the people around her like Russert and Matt Lauer. Some became too rahrah for Bush after 9-11 and lost their sense of NEWS.

7. I've heard both . . .

I've heard it said that Katie's a freeper, and I've also heard "she's a raging liberal Democrat."

I dunno what to believe! :shrug:

[yvr girl]

8. I think she is

Her sister was an elected Dem in an eastern state. (Can't remember which one. The sister is dead now.)

9. Virginia..her sister died of

pancreatic cancer.

10. The cat fight between coulter and Couric

The Couric-Coulter Catfight

Coulter was on the show to hawk her new book, Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right, which just happens to accuse Couric of liberal bias and calls her "the affable Eva Braun of morning television."

Before the 12-minute Q&A, Couric noted that Coulter had been referred to as "a right-wing telebimbo." Not long thereafter, Couric challenged Coulter's description.

Couric: "You call me the 'Eva Braun' of liberalism--"

"Affable," interjected Coulter.

"Thanks...that makes me feel soooo much better," replied Couric, her trademark grin giving way to a scowl.

Couric also took Coulter to task for claiming the Today host called Ronald Reagan "an airhead." Couric vehemently denied it, saying it was Regan biographer Edmund Morris, not her, who made the remark. Couric said she was just quoting Morris. "You used me an example of liberal bias against Ronald Reagan. I'm just wondering why you took that out of context."

"Well, I don't think I did," responded Coulter. "You're taking it out of context."

"No, I'm not," snapped Couric.

Then Couric brought up Coulter's infamous quote about Muslim countries. "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity," Coulter wrote. The comment, Couric pointed out, was too much even for the conservative periodical National Review, which fired Coulter. (Coulter maintains her contract simply ran out.)

The Washington Post dubbed the showdown a contest of "The Morning Mugger and the Human Uzi" and declared Coulter the winner, because her book immediately jumped to number one on Amazon.com's bestseller list.

Then she rushed over to one of her favorite venues, Fox News Channel, to discuss the tête-à-tête, and, not content to refer to Couric as Hitler's mistress, compared the Today host to Nazi propagandist Josef Goebbels.
