Clench-Jawed Katie Uses 9/11 Widow to Bash Bush TV Ads

The Today Show

Thanks, nutmeg! Glad you enjoyed the report.

Eva Braun attempting to match wits with Karen Hughes doesn't have half a chance!!! About like my kid trying to strike-out Berry Bonds. She obviously had her talking points faxed over from PravdABDNC central.

Pray for W and The Election

"If Bush wanted to win this, he would go after the media for trying to make 9/11 go away."

To tell you the truth, I don't believe Bush wants to serve another term. I believe this election is going to be given away.

Kaczynski screwed Katie and other celebrities by donating this letter and others to the library of his alma mater, where they became public record.

Wow... first time I've seen that letter to the Unabomber from The Perky One (#98). Great post!

[nutmeg]

Oh, goody! Look at the e-mail I just received from "Larry King Live": (LOL)

I think it is time for a boycott of katie's show's sponsers.

I couldn't agree more

someone should begin a thread each morning and list each sponsor who advertizes each day

it will get noticed and she will be brushed back

don't stop posting this each day when she lightens up ... sponsors will react to the attention

.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll try to tune in, but a full hour of Katie might be more than even my battle-hardened stomach could stand!

[nobody_knows]

I'd like to do something to Catie Couric-Braun that would make her clench her jaw alright!

[cinFLA]

The more we see this type of reaction, the more we know the ads are effective.

[CathyRyan]

Anybody remember the name Katie hates to be called?

[Dionysius]

I will -- starting with Smuckers and GE! If the ads are getting under Kommie Katie's skin, we know they're working. The gloves are off; the fur is flying; and the Today Show's dying. I love it!

[Dionysius]

Of what gender was this 'widow'?

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I'm pretty sure Katie made clear it was a woman, but I can't be 100% sure.

Karen Hughes is a great spokeswoman and a loyal friend of Dubya. She doesn't take any crap, gives more than she gets and is not intimidated by loud mouthed liberal pukes.

[DannyTN]

"If Bush wanted to win this, he would go after the media for trying to make 9/11 go away."

Yeah that and he should bring up comments from Saddam's state paper about Saddam's "Nuclear Muhjadeen" to throw the credibility question back on the Rats.

Couric: "There are a number of images of Ground Zero in these ads. A 9/11 widow has said she is offended. She said that 'with 3,000 people killed on the President's watch it takes an awful lot of audacity to use these images. It is in bad taste.'"

Hughes was not intimidated.

But Katie came back to the charge: "at the same time is it appropriate to use those images for campaign purposes?" she asked, grim-faced.

Remember that when John Kerry starts running ads highlighting his service in Vietnam, where 58,000 US soliders and millions of civilians died. Will Katie be questioning Kerry's decency and good taste in "exploiting" those images?

WELL SAID!! Kerry HAS been using Vietnam consistently. Where is Katie's OUTRAGE for all those statements, and all those families? Or for Kerry throwing his FAKE medals over the Whitehouse fence. Or for Kerry speaking at congressional hearings and Lying about torturing and raping children and animals? (I see I inferred he raped animals, I'm not going to fix it). BTW, Katie.. did you know we had prisoners of war, OUR OWN POW's who were tortured while being forced to listen to "TRAITOR Kerry's" testimony! But your bias is showing you sickening piece of liberal garbage!

Katie: "Exit polls among Ohio voters show that by far the most important issue is the economy, with few mentioning Iraq. Since by 'conservative estimates' more than two milion jobs have been lost how do you feel the President can convince the people the economy is strong and getting stronger if it is still on the forefront of people's minds?"

Of course Katie didn't mention that the people polled in Ohio were Dem primary voters, a very partisan, Bush-hating, liberal demographic.

Hughes had an excellent response, one we can expect to be hearing much more of: "Not only have we recently had the strongest growth in the last 20 years, but unemployment, while it will always be a concern for the President, is lower than the average rate in the 70s, 80s, 90s and first Clinton first term. Continuing the President's policies of low taxes, less government regulation and intrusion will work."

"LETS ROLL"

[Pompah]

Have to agree with you on that. "Katie" is getting a bit long of tooth. I figure as soon as she gets the looks just right she'll be taking over for Helen Thomas.

She's pretty close now.

[Arrowhead1952]

Great cartoon Arrowhead.

I think that cartoon is one of the few I have seen that actually tells the truth about F'ing Kerry and the left.

Rush just said that "Katie was losing it over the use of 9/11 in the Bush TV ads. She was vicious, but Karen Hughes wasn't taking it"!!

Rush will be playing tape in next segment.

Could Rush be a Today Show ping lurker? ;-)
