The 'Perky One' Ventures Outside the Upper West Side

If Democrats want a single illustration in this election cycle of the hopeless disconnect between the coastal liberal elites and ordinary Americans, it might just be this:

Failing news anchoress Katie Couric has recently deigned to leave her Upper West Side studio to mingle with the common folk in the "middle of the country."

[Lakeshark]

The perky one continues to destroy any credibility that CBS news once may have had. Oh the irony.......

[misharu]

. . . mingle with the common folk in the "middle of the country."

So, what does she consider the "middle of the country"? Newark? Philadelphia? Oh wait! Scranton?

[TPOOH]

The little commie-miss doesn’t understand why the unwashed masses haven’t drunk the koolaid of the marxist left. You find Couric in the dictionary under “clueless.”

[Lakeshark]

So, what does she consider the "middle of the country"?

Central Park?

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Pick the largest most liberal city in the Midwest. That is where she will go, to determine the “pulse” of the Amerikan Peeples.

And when she gets back, we will become “enlightened” and educated about what we should really be thinking!

[Lakeshark]

"Reporting live from Madison, Wisconsin, the pulse of this great country, this is Katy Couric.

And that's the way it is........."

[Opinionated Blowhard]

This is more of a crushing blow to Katie than is suggested in the article. Remember that she started as the “perky” human interest reporter on a morning show. That position used to be characterized as a slot for a pretty “girl” who did light human interest stories before that characterization was viewed sexist. Katie has always tried to get away from that image and with her new CBS gig, she thought she finally had. And yet, it didn't work and now she is resigned to go back to being the perky human interest girl on the news shows, albeit a little longer in the tooth.

[USS Alaska]

So, what does she consider the "middle of the country"?

Aspen.

[Lakeshark]

FYI, a bit of schadenfreude for your morning.......

[Dr. Ursus]

Actually,they mean Queens,NY!

[y6162]

Ugh....

[Shugee]

“...Couric has spent recent weeks in Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and New Brunswick, New Jersey. She is touring what she calls ‘this great UNWASHED middle of the country’ in an effort to divine the mood of the midterms.”

How insulting this woman is. Not worth a dime of salary or a single viewer.
