Peter Jennings, a former anchor of ABC News did take time to drive all through the real middle America. He reported back to the viewers (that’s when ABC actually HAD viewers) how hard working and decent and friendly (real) Americans are. I think he wanted to say that those people really do deserve everyone’s respect and admiration.

I’ve heard Peter Jennings; I’ve watched Peter Jennings...katie couric - you are no Peter Jennings.

Being unwashed in the sewage of coastal liberalism is a good thing.

Since Perky Katie is only going to urban areas, this sounds RACIST to me. Someone page Jesse and Al!

Only people I’ve known who are unwashed are homeless, hippies or French. Go away Couric.

To a geographically challenged idiot like Couric, anything west of Cincinnati is unsettled territory still occupied by native Indians and buffalo hunters, until you get to Los Angeles.

NOT REALLY. The real WHY is that they are trying to keep her busy on wild goose chases, and keep her OFF THE AIR, while she finishes her ‘contract’.

(Snort!) And the mouse took the cheese.

Great, Katie’s out spreading bedbugs beyond her native habitat.

Think of the cost incurred to get rid of the sneaky little bloodsuckers in her wake. They’re not even honest like a tick, they hide out until you’re asleep.

That’s a nice metaphor for Couric and her ilk, come to think of it.

Bedbugs.

Did she really use the term ‘unwashed’?

Could she possibly be so stupid she does not know it is a pejorative not unlike “little people”

I don’t think most of us need any more ammunition to despise this woman. I’ve never forgiven her for years ago, literally SNEERING at Barbara Bush during an interview. Mrs. Bush remained poised and classy as usual.

As far as I’m concerned, Couric can just go get repeatedly colonoscoped.

RE: Did she really use the term ‘unwashed’?


Yes she did.

From : THE PHRASE FINDER

http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/the-great-unwashed.html

Meaning

The common, lower classes; the hoi polloi.

Origin

This rather disparaging term was coined by the Victorian novelist and playwright Edward Bulwer-Lytton. He used it in his 1830 novel Paul Clifford:

“He is certainly a man who bathes and ‘lives cleanly’, (two especial charges preferred against him by Messrs. the Great Unwashed).”

Send her out to work a few months with Mike Rowe on “Dirty Jobs”.

You will never know the pure joy of a hot shower and plenty of soap until you have gone without one for several days and are absolutely stinking filthy from engaging in hard, dirty work.

Bliss!

The best at showing "Middle America" and normal folks was Charles Kuralt on the old CBS Sunday morning show ...

Great stuff from a fine American ...

She knew. She thinks that the majority of us “unwashed” are uneducated enough to not know what she means. Like when CNN and MSNBC Reporters use TeaB@gger. They say it with a sly grin on their face, as if they are pulling one over on those not in the know.
