This piece is irritating on so many levels, chiefly because it comes from the twit Couric.

But of the people at the table, the “principals” in the meeting, I was the only one wearing a skirt.

David Gregory would have joined her!

I thought the goal of the 'FemiGnatzies' was that we stopped thinking of women as women? LOL! Everyone's equal, right? *SMIRK*

Katie Cakes needs to understand that we see her as a Communist first, then as a woman. And I'm not so sure about the "woman" thing. ;)

Everyone was gracious, though the jocular atmosphere was palpable.

How awful is this sentence. I'm just shaking my head. I don't listen to her, so I don't know if they get a "helper" to write her stuff for the nightly news, but I suspect they do.

I'm sure that if Katie had just looked under the table. She would have discovered there were more skirts than just hers. After all she said Charlie Gibson and Tim Russert were there.

"Quotaism" is one of the most destructive forces in society ever created by the nasty, envious, perfidious leftist "liberals".

Nobody is owed anything that they don't work for and acheive on their own merits.

Enough of the "blame game".

Bingo. Whoever's "at the table" should be there because they earned it. Race, sex, ethnicity, and such other things are irrelevant.

She asked the wrong question.

The question she should have asked is:

"Do I belong here?"

This reads like she wrote it for a high school newspaper.

A 'journalist' she is not.

If it wasn't for her skirt, Katie wouldn't have a job...that's why CBS hired her.

"It was a reminder that all of us still have an obligation to ask: Don’t more women deserve a place at the table too?"

The answer is no.

I've seen quite a few "barf alerts", but this is the first where I have actually felt the puke rising in my foodpipe as I read it. What a sorry excuse for "journalism".

"I couldn’t help but notice, despite how far we’ve come, that I was still the only woman there. Well, there was some female support staff near the door. But of the people at the table, the “principals” in the meeting, I was the only one wearing a skirt. Everyone was gracious, though the jocular atmosphere was palpable."

I have to agree with Katie. She was hired for her legs, not her brains.

When the alphabets finally hire a woman who can think for herself, we will have arrived.
