As any kid will tell you it is a big mistake to complain and tell people not to call you something...

I wouldn’t call her (expletive deleted) perky - I’d call her an (expletive deleted) intellectual whore.

Ha! You gotta read the article:)

*hint* It starts with an f.

BTW, I think "quirky" would be just fine in place of perky.

You’d think Katie would take “perky” as a kind complement, at her age they’ve been sagging for years.

If we can’t call her [edited] Perky, then can we call her

a cunning runt, or preferable, the reverse!?!?!

What gets lost here, is how Katie came on the scene in the first place. There are those who would say that Katie may have done Deborah Norville dirty. But others might say that is show business, in which Katie’s relationship to Norville might be akin to the film All About Eve. That is the problem, Katie is all show business and little if any journalism. Show business is such a cesspool that even Rosie O’Donnell can find frequent work.

Shame on you for calling her an “intellectual whore”!

Clearly, she’s a pseudo-intellectual whore. ;-)

(Now, if I ever meet Ms. Couric, I can tell her how I defended her. “Someone called you an intellectual whore & I defended you. I told him you weren’t an intellectual”.)

She’s not perky, she’s annoying and in way over her head and getting the horrible rtings she deserves proving markets are efficient.
