QUICK!!!

Time for an emergency colonoscopy to locate Couric's brain!!

[Pittsburg Phil]

The U.N. is a dying institution and airheads like little Couric will not be able to put life back into it.

[Reactionary]

Sure, Couric, you moron. The criticism of Annan is all about the Iraq war; it doesn't have anything to do with this "global humanitarian organization" taking kickbacks from a tyrant while people were being thrown into plastic shredders.

This twit should take a really perky jump off a bridge. Perhaps then she'll keep her idiotic opinions to herself.

[xcamel]

We expect and less from "Katia Korosiv"

Katie honey?
Put down the crayons a minute.

What part of incompetence, graft and corruption don't you understand?

[TexasGreg]

Don't hold your breath, folks. The Media won't let this scandal come to the surface because it doesn't hurt Bush ... it helps him.

[Logical me]

The hole the liberal press and most all their celebrated reporters have suffered from the lack of credibility. The further they continue with this line of junk, the deeper they get. They'll never learn, and maybe that is good. When we want to listen to a distortion or lie, try the MSM. Once in a while I turn them on to remind myself of the corrupt bunch they are.

[KC_Conspirator]

Its clear that liberals have a knee-jerk reaction to defend the UN or anything else anti-American. I have watched scores of liberal pundits, talking heads, and media outlets like the NY Times defend the Annan and the UN corruption. Its sickening. If Annan were a head of a corporation there would have already been calls for his resignation.

[Trippin]

What the hell is wrong with this picture? Liberals criticising conservatives is considered free speech, but conservatives criticising failed leaders is considered "payback".

[Steve_Seattle]

The MSM's treatment (or lack thereof) of the oil-for-food scandal will serve for years as Exhibit "A" in our allegations of media bias. It is absolutely stunning the way the major networks have buried this story. Any allegation about Halliburton becomes the Top Story, but this $20 billion scandal is passed over in virtual silence.

[SMARTY]

"...call for...Secretary General's resignation politically motivated..."

Well, I guess if your only tool is a hammer, all your problems look like nails.

[Reactionary]

"If Annan were a head of a corporation there would have already been calls for his resignation."

On the contrary, if Annan was the head of a corporation the global socialist media would have seen to it that he would have been hanged during Tolerance Week at Berkeley.

[Reactionary]

"They'll never learn, and maybe that is good."

That's the thing. Liberals can't learn anything of import. They can only "learn" to be more dishonest and manipulative.

They're ideological fanatics.

[Spok]

"Couric: Criticism of Annan "Payback" for Him Opposing Iraq War?"

Maybe it's payback for being incompetent and corrupt.

[leprechaun9]

Is Katie Kook still on the air?

[keysguy]

The problem with the perky one is that she is just as dumb as a box of rocks.

[syriacus]

The national media usually presents themselves as dedicated debunkers of every item of political pomposity, ready to milk the ratings out of exposing every sacred cow. But that has never been true of its coverage of the U.N., which represents for liberals the deeply idealistic notion of a harmonic convergence of governments, united to saving the world for humanitarian ends.

With such lofty and vague goals in mind, the media can always congratulate the UN for "making an effort."

It doesn't matter how unsuccessful the UN actually is at achieving anything, as long as the UN declares it is heading along the "politically correct" path.
