Not dealing with the Today show, but while channel surfing this morning, Harry Smith on CBS's morning show, called tookie williams a "reformed" gang leader.

But isn't it just funny, sick, and oh-so "Katie Couric" for Katie to be polishing her "fair and balanced" credentials by attacking a dead black guy?

In this instance, she has no shame. And was he really controversal? I loved his movies, and liked some of his comedy although the language was a bit much. I never thought of Richard Pryor as a controversal figure.

Katie's comment about his legacy being in doubt was just mean. I see no reason why his legacy would be in doubt.

Here's a prediction: By next week, the story will be that conservatives are attacking Pryor and trying to tarnish his legacy, and that Hollywood is coming to his defense. By the next awards show they will give him a special award, and by next year any liberal column about mean-spiritedness of conservatives will include a reference to attacking a dead black comic like Pryor and trying to tarnish his legacy.

Later, in an interview of far-left lawyer Ramsey Clark, who is currently defending Saddam Hussein, she described Clark as a man "with such a distinguished record,' then caught herself and added "though controversial."

Snort.

Cavuto, do you actually watch Ms. Couric in the morning?

Getting the troops home solves the Iraq problem for the Dems; accordingly, that will be the main focus by the MSM and the RATS from here on out -- even if it is to the detriment of the Iraqi's and us.

For anyone who missed Cavuto's paean to Ms. Couric, click here. Then you'll know why I wonder if he actually watches her in the mornings.

I posted the link in my reply #8. It's gonna be a while before I can watch Cavuto again.

I heard Cavuto's complimentary remarks about Couric and wondered the same thing.

Phew! Throw some lime on that stinker!

Cavuto sounded like more like BO with'a woodie.

Ah-ha! Hadn't seen that - thanks for the link.

Well, don't know if this will surprise you or others, but I agree with Cavuto to this extent: I think Katie is good at what she does, and would be just as competent as Rather, Jennings or Brokaw as an evening anchor.

My beef with Couric is not her lack of credentials; it's her liberal bias.

The interview with Ramsey Clark was a major barf-fest. Poor, poor Sadaam was forbidden from bringing his Koran to the trial with him, boo-hoo. And "they took away his notepad", sniffed Clark.

"I think Katie is good at what she does"

Yep, she is very good at BSing the American people into thinking she is an intelligent and reasoned moderate who is just looking our for them.

Ha. Nice set up Mark.

Oh, sure he does.

Let's see - he was a lawyer at an obscure Texas firm until his father, a Supreme Court justice, brokered a political deal that made Ramsey Attorney General in exchange for his father retiring early so LBJ could appoint the first black justice.

He served for less than two years as AG.

Then he spent the next 35 years bouncing from job to job, teaching here, defending Nazi concentration camp guards there, working as the local US legal advisor for a number of dictators. campaigning for the legalization of hard drugs, etc.

Really impressive resume.
