Couric: "Question is, Why Did President Bush Get an Honorable Discharge?"

The Today Show

Katie Couric saved the worst for last today.

In what was shaping up as a ho-hum discussion of presidential politics with former Clinton Press Secretary Joe Lockhart and conservative commentator Bay Buchanan, in the last minute or so Katie unleashed a sneak attack on W's National Guard service.

Couric reviewed what she described as a muddled state of documentation surrounding W's service. Her ensuing statement, although somewhat ambiguous as to subject and object, seemed to be "the question is . . . why did President Bush receive an honorable discharge?"

Lockhart, having served as press secretary to the country's most famous draft dodger, could not be as aggressive as he might have liked. He "graciously" observed that the country has already considered the question and decided that taking steps to avoid service in Vietnam is not "disqualifying" for the presidency.

However, he continued: "when the issue of Bush's service first arose in the 2000 campaign, people gave him a pass on it. However, this time it's different because . . . "

Here, Katie jumped in and "helpfully" finished his sentence for him: "because the country is now at war!"

Katie then aimed a couple barbed questions at Buchanan regarding the President's "credibility problem." Bay turned it around and claimed it was Kerry who had credibility issues.

Couric obviously does not want to let the National Guard issue die away, and took one last shot at stirring the pot by putting a new question on the table "why did President Bush receive an honorable discharge?"

A truly despicable performance by the affable Eva Braun. Perhaps she was feeling bitter over the Yankees signing of A-Rod. I believe one of her squeezes is a Red Sox owner.

Today Show ping.

For the sake of the Republic, hopefully the "governsleastgovernsbest" household is not a Neilson household. :-)

[TADSLOS]

Couric is overdue for another televised anal probe. I hope she and her lib press pals keep pushing on this non-issue. Always fun to watch blowback occur on those I despise.

[The Wizard]

someday old Katie is going to get what she deserves, I hope I get to see it....

[governsleastgovernsbest]

hopefully the "governsleastgovernsbest" household is not a Neilson household. :-)

Don't worry. I have creatively re-wired my Nielsen box so that all my time watching The Today Show is attributed 50% to Fox News and 50% to The Golf Channel! ;-)

"the question is . . . why did President Bush receive an honorable discharge?"

Now that is messed up! That's a terrible thing to say. I hope she's held to account for that one.

[RandallFlagg]

Sigh....

Starts with a "C," rhymes with the word, "Hunt."

We simply MUST see what she's going to look like on November 8th..

[Miss Marple]

The question I have is "Why did Katie Couric get a multi-million dollar contract?"

[SCHROLL]

No the question is why when Katie went to have her colonoscopy did they give her a lobotomy instead?

[keysguy]

Katie is just pissed cause she can only have a makeover every 3 months. In case yopu haven't noticed there is nobody home upstairs.

[The G Man]

LOL! Bravo!

[skip2myloo]

I never watch NBC, CBS, ABC or CNN. NEVER.

Not for stupid sitcoms, not for ice skating, not for golf. Not for news.

Never.

[stayathomemom]

I think it's time for Ann Coulter to pay her another visit.

[mewzilla]

She's already getting it. Have you seen their ratings?

[Skooz]

I hope she's held to account for that one.

Only here

If the stupid so-called conservatives and/or Republicans don't get their act together and start being AGGRESSIVE and more CONFRONTATIONAL when up against these creeps, then we might as well hang it up...

we need about 1000 more Anne Coulters...

but the leftist media know what they are doing...by placing these weak "conservatives" who aren't even Bush backers in against the Toon idiots......

the Republicans/conservatives have got to realize that being nice will get them nothing at all....

of course, what do you expect from Bab Buchannon...probably all set to help her brother to sabatoge the Bush campaign again...

[wayoverontheright]

Our strategy to counter the National Guard accusation should be to simply say every time it's brought up, "only ONE of the two candidates has FOUR YEARS AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF ON HIS RESUME," and leave it at that.

".....I hope she and her lib press pals keep pushing on this non-issue...."


This is a damned stupid thing for the Demonlovers to be pushing since no seems to actually know what DookWayne Kerry actually did in 'Nam in the 4 short months thst he was there.

Given what a sneak he 's shaping up to be,I'm beginning to wonder how noble he was 30 years ago. Where's his crew, his band of brothers, you know, the awed eyewitnesses to his Audie Murphy-like performance

It's only Feb, we have a lot of time 'till the election.

[Bluntpoint]

So why is Clinton not in jail for rape?
