I wonder if CBS is sending her on a one-way ticket?

Well, maybe she can don a burqa, stop shaving and bathing and entice al Qaeda for an interview....

Who is her slim following now? Why it’s the diehard leftist loving person who found her so cute on the Today Show. Now, what could be running throug Katie’s mind if she thinks that viewing audience is going to be impressed by a trip to Iraq.

Katie’s losing it. Okay, okay, she lost it years ago. Seems to me the Chickens will be coming home to roost soon. If not, Katie’s audience will be two old ladies in Minnesota that will be dead in six months from natural causes.

Yep, CBS is desperate.

Despite it all, Katie still pulls in 6 million viewers a night. Who ARE these 6 million???

With all the low ratings for Couric, deperate times call for desperate measures.

Maybe the perky one can host instead a special episode of Price Is Right while she is there for CBS.

I’m sure the 72 virgin vacation travel package to he** grand prize showcase would be a blast.

Doesn’t matter, she is so closed minded … she will return with the same picture in her mind that she left with. Just a publicity stunt.

Now she can speak her pre-conceived ideas with a plane trip under her belt, giving her leftist credibility. Might even save her job.

"Despite it all, Katie still pulls in 6 million viewers a night. Who ARE these 6 million???"

I bet a chunk of it is people who just watch the local CBS affiliate all day and leave the TV on as background music when they aren't watching it. They don't bother to turn the channel when the news they aren't watching comes on.

Yep, and it will not help her ratings.

A mere 2% of the total U.S. population. Don't sweat the small stuff. ;)

Some months back wasn’t Katie saying that she would not be going to Iraq because of her kids?

People who leave the TV on during dinner - without watching it.

Oh, now *that’s* just desperate. Send Katie out for a date with an IED. Real classy, CBS. You know, if we arranged for our wives to be killed instead of divorcing them, we’d be facing charges and jail time. Not CBS. They’d probably get a Peabody Award or something.

We should all e-mail the network and demand they post her itinerary. The public’s got a right to know :-)

Okay, I don’t watch her now, why would I watch her in a burka?

“This is Katie Couric reporting live from deep inside the Green Zone.”

You know, Katie was kinda cute when we first met her. We actually believed she even liked us despite our faults but, after the expensive wedding, she's begun looking like a wrinkly old harpie that just can't shut up and accept her place. Desperate times can call for desperate measures so CBS has sent Katie on a, um, well, uh "special assignment". (That sounds so much nicer than "suicide mission").
