That’s racist!

I am not watching the Olympics, but the Missus is, so I hear bits and pieces of it. I’m old enough to remember watching the 1968 Olympics, and think of that as the watershed year when the “up close and personal” crap started working its way into what had theretofore been straightforward coverage of sporting events. Today the coverage is one long “up close and personal” presentation only occasionally and briefly interrupted by actual sporting competition. The Olympics Organizing Committee has a good understanding of the intellectual property that is media coverage of the Olympic Games. They may want to get some better control over the media content and approach, before, like the NFL they commit brand suicide by allowing this drift into overly dramatized, derivative and politicized coverage. Word up.
People outside of NYC and LA don't take subways or drive their cars. Therefore those poor folk outside her bubble must skate or ski or canoe or walk or bike to where they want to go. Oh, and Sarah Palin is really stupid because she lives in a place where you have to snowshoe to work and there is no diversity.
It is almost as bad as saying the Dutch “cant run because of wooden shoes...”
Katie Couric commutes to work in her hot-air balloon.
I just got home and have to water the mule. He’s always tired after a ride into town. I’ll read this when I’m done.
Isn’t she the moron who had a tube with a camera on it stuck up her rear end on live national television?
But I’ll give Couric credit for one thing. At least she didn’t bring up Global Warming

F HER
She was saving Global Warming for if they lost it would have been the Canals wouldn’t freeze over and they couldn’t practice.
You have to think they are ‘winging’ this crap as no one with any sanity would write this stuff for them - Unless, they ‘weewee’ of the staff on a continuing basis...Then figure they are too dumb to know what they are reading..
‘(BO...Corpse when it should have been Corps..did the teleprompter say that or what? )
How is anything that shallow, talentless, washed-up narcissist says meaningful to anyone? All she has left to attract attention is her unmasked ignorance.She isn’t-and never was- a serious journalist. Just another perky fake face way past her expiration date. She should go do infomercials for ‘anti aging’ cosmetics. She must use a TON.
NBC hires an Asian expert to give historical context to the opening ceremony, and then fires him when he says something historical.
Katie Couric says something stupid about the historical Dutch, and...???

How is it no one has mentioned the Amish yet?
What an idiot.
The opening ceremonies is about the only thing we watch concerning the Olympics. My wife complains that I am too cynical about things on TV, including commentary about the opening. I kept saying, “I wish these guys would just SHUT UP and let the pageantry happen!” But noooo... we can’t have dead air obviously, so they had to say something - even have the so-called Asian expert on to add color to the commentary...
... so in just a few days, what do we have? Asian expert canned (for telling the truth), and not Katie in hot water. It’s going to get to a point where no one wants to be on for the opening. After all, NBC won’t have your back. Anything (and I mean ANYTHING) said can and will be used against you. They’ll bend over backwards to keep everyone except the American audience happy.
In Dutch with the Dutch, eh?
They consider us to be unsophisticated, uneducated, provincial boors.
But where did she get her insight and understanding of the Dutch culture?
From a 1930 Movietone News feature on the windmills of the Netherlands?
