1. Thanks
Can you tell me what time LaCouric will be on the show so I can turn to the cooking channel for those segments?

4. the ony thing about her on 60 minutes that gives me a smile...
is that, being the "new kid on the block," she has to tape the intro to Andy Rooney. Discussing the show on one of their landmark anniversaries, a big point was made about that being the duty of the most junior person and considered to be pennance--not because of any slant towards Rooney-- but because it meant the person assigned had to work/stay later during taping.

The torch has passed to LaCouric...:rofl:


I just mute her, when she is on...btw. I can proudly say I have NEVER tuned into the disgrace she calls the new CBS evening news broadcast. Katie, I don't even see your freeper friends rallying behind you... So, now that the cutesy cheerleader "girl-next-door" personna 'taint cutting it, whatcha gonna do?

6. The news
I can't even stand to watch her intro or closing on the news. It's a tough balancing act, because local ABC has a talk radio host as anchor. In the afternoon, he says stoopid things on the radio, then at night, he's on the news. So, I have to switch to CBS for local and to ABC for national. I've often caught Couric's closing giggle while switching to local. Curdles my blood.

9. Thanks, my friend! I did indeed.
Illuminating, wasn't it? AND the Andy Rooney commentary at the end was well worth the wait, also.

5. beautiful, Kuo called for a political fast
Edited on Sun Oct-15-06 07:22 PM by joeprogressive
That translates to the christian right sitting '06 out. If 5% of them do it, it is a disaster for the republicans. Kuo smacked them down hard. Hello October surprise!!!

11. The RRR* is smacking him around for the book, calling him a liberal
Edited on Mon Oct-16-06 08:46 AM by blondeatlast
(note that he didn't shy away from that word, either) or claiming that the BRAIN TUMOR he is battling has made him a nutcase. Nice people, those RRR*. Good Christians all, those RRR*. :sarcasm: (for the humorically challenged)

He isn't "one of us" by any means, except in the sense that he's a "good" evangelical, as I like to think I am.

He may not be on our side, but I applaud him for having the courage to say what those of us who try to act in our belief have known for some time.

David Kuo--:patriot:

*RRR: Radical Religious Right--and an appropriate three letter acronym, IMHO, as it invokes what another three letter acronym group's work tries to do.
