Couric Stumped by Dignified Father of Fallen Marine; W Portrayed as Having Big 9/11 Problem

To: governsleastgovernsbest

Yes, I wish more people could have seen just how fine and dignified a man was this father. Even Matt Lauer was compelled to observe, after Katie had finished the interview "a strong man."

This young man's father is fighting the war just as surely as his son did. I think that his pride in his son, and how he didn't back down to Katie's attempts at undermining, are all part of the war. It's unfortunate that it is this way. Katie and her ilk so desperately want to see Iraq turn into Vietnam that they will stoop to anything.

I don't think Katie knows what to do when people are so sure in their convictions (and probably their faith, although I didn't hear anything discussions about faith in this instance) and know that what they're doing is right and just, that there is no blame. They want to see people like this father cast blame for his son's death. There is no blame and she doesn't know what to do with that. He's proud of the man his son had become and it wouldn't have happened if he hadn't joined the Marines. Poor Katie just doesn't understand that the military can be an absolute blessing for some people. It sounds like that young man was rescued by the Marines as much as he helped rescue the Iraqi people from Saddam.

If there could only be true justice in this world, Lil Georgie and all this cohorts (especially his crime bosses) would be reporting from the graybars hotel, instead of a national network.

That's why I lock the shotgun up, and make the dog swallow the key before I turn the TV on. Saves me having to buy new TV's.

In a fair world, Today Show would have to run a continous crawl across the bottom of the TV screen whenever Katie was on the air: "Clinton-Kerry-Dem Butt Kisser"

Clinton the first black president? He does seem "blacker" than Simpson for sure.

When Condi testified in private, some of the commission members didn't bother to attend.

When she addresses the commission, she should say to those who were absent "It's nice to see you; I missed you when I appeared before the commission before and I'm glad you were able to be here this time."

Wouldn't that be epic!?
