Katie was no different when she interviewed General Schwartzkoph. Oh where has her perkiness gone?
Even after the General explained how Saddam's capture affected him and other Gulf War vets, Katie asked questions that made it seem as if she hadn't even been listening 30 seconds earlier, as if she simply had to get in her nasty editorial soundbites.
Katie is so over...and remember, doubly depressed today because Diane Sawyer got the big interview with President Bush, which I think will be televised tonight? (Not for sure if it's tonight or later.)
Back to Katie: Did she or Matt comment on the patriotic, biased, emotional outburst of the Iraqi reporters?

NPR was just about as good yesterday evening. They were talking to the NPR news women on the scene in Iraq. She was spewing the liberal line of the day that although the capture of Saddam was good, it didn't really mean anything in the long run, we needed an international coalition... blah... blah... blah... The studio announcer then caught her off guard by asking if she thought Saddams capture would help president Bush politically. She sputtered for a second then she managed to force out that it could "possibly" help him in the short term. She spent the rest of the broadcast trying to repent for her blasphemy, by reminding everyone that election was a long way away and Saddams capture would probably be long forgotten by then and there were still alot of things that could go wrong.
Then they segwayed into a "fair and balanced" segment with an "average" army seargent who was chosen at "random" as the voice of the troops. This fellow was oppossed to the occupation, didn't understand why we are there and didn't think the capture of Saddam really mattered.

Katie's interview this morning was so biased that I thought that NBC was an affilite of Al-Jazeera.Silly me, it is.
Gen. Sanchez even thanked Qu'aty for her support without gagging. Now THERE is a warrior.

Between her black dress and stringy, unwashed, bad-hair-day look, Katie was just this side of sack cloth and ashes!

Couric, representing NBC (and French interests):
"We (at NBC) all hope and pray that Saddam escaped harm, and hopefully fled to Syria."

Q: "Ibrahim Al-Duri is considered the real mastermind. How critical is his capture?" LOL! Not 1 in 1000 people here knows who Al-Duri is but just about every schoolkid has heard of Saddam. This is like saying that Hitler was unimportant because Baldur Von Schirach was the real mastermind of the Third Reich.

Thanks for the briefing. All in all it's just another brick in the wall...of propaganda from domestic enemies. Thanks for helping us TEAR DOWN THAT WALL.

Tim Russert parrots all the Dems talking points.Outrageous!Yes, and did you get a load of Russert's lame interview, fawning of Hillary last Sunday? I thought he was going to ask to be her VP!
Timmy is going down (on) hill (Hill) fast, or maybe he was there all the time!

"Qu'aty" Couric. Good one! LOL!

"Clearly, Saddam was in no position to orchestrate anything. Militarily, how much of the enemies' capabilities have really been degraded by this capture?" Here's my personal take on this.
Saddam operated as the God-subject of a cult of personality. This really is a case where if you "cut off the head, the snake will die". Without the subject of the cult's reverence to rally behind, there's really nothing left for the dead-enders to do but try to escape to Syria, stand down and try to blend in to the population (and the population knows who they are), or to join forces with the foreign fighters allied with Al Qeada.
I think we can expect a quick end to the "resistance", except for the foreigners. And I have great hopes that the liberated Iraquis will now deal with them.
Ths is a beginning of the new day for Iraq.

Please let me know by post or private message if you'd like on or off the Today Show ping list for semi-regular reports of liberal media bias at The Today Show and other morning news shows.

Then they segwayed into a "fair and balanced" segment with an "average" army seargent who was chosen at "random" as the voice of the troops. I always figured Couric to be more the unicycle type (with colonsocope built into the seat) myself. But if she wants to ride a rich kid's toy around the NBC studios, who am I to say no?
To: PJ-Comix
LOL Thats true!
I heard on the radio this am that The Italian Leader said "We have captured the WMD" (saddam). Funny but true in many ways.

Katie's teleprompter apparently has been short-circuited. FoxNews has been reporting for 30 minutes new captures (numerous/multiple) of insurgents and insurgent leaders in Bagdad. Don't worry. Once we get Al-Duri, Katie will be claiming the Five of Hearts is the real mastermind, and asking why we don't have him in custody.

Yesterday, Dan Blather looked like he was about to burst into tears at any moment.
