Katie Couric, whose real name is Katherine Anne Couric, mocked the names of Sarah Palins children during a rehearsal in her studio. Her comments, made during the 2008 presidential campaign, are being discussed in the blogosphere today after being leaked.
Where the hell do they get these names from? she asked, referring to Palin children Trig and Track, sending her crew into peals of laughter.
I have some new names for CBS. In a tragedy in Louisiana this Monday, six young teenagers drowned.
Their names were: Takeitha, JaMarcus, JaTavious, Litrelle, LaDairus and Latevin.
These, like the names of Palins children, are American names.
Times have changed since Jews newly arrived from Europe named their boys either Marty or Bernie and black people in the South named their kids either Bessy or Washington. You dont really want to go into things like where the hell a name like Katherine got a K on the front of it instead of a C, as it was spelled in the tradition. The neurosis could drag all the way back to Prague, say, in the 1600s.
The singular feature of America that persists west of 57th Street, where Katie and CBS live in paralysis, acting out an early-60s fantasy equal to that of Mad Men, is that we Americans are born free and find and take that freedom in every generation.
In terms anthropologists like Mircea Eliade and Sir James George Fraser would use, you could say we chop down the fathers tree in every generation; an archetypal reenactment of George Washington chopping down the cherry tree to free us from our pasts European, personal and otherwise and their anchors to the prisons of orthodoxy and tradition.
In this regard we plant our own tree and we take our own names. It is sacred and symbolic. And in this sacred act we name our kids any damn thing we please.
“I am laughing at the cry baby Sarah.”
How’s that McCain & Graham thing working for you?
Why is this being talked about NOW??? It’s an old video.
And BTW, I'll bash any false teachings I damn well please, especially if their acolytes misuse a political chat site to spew their voo-doo vomit down the throats of hundreds of unsuspecting patriots, as if anybody but other deceived, scaley-eyed bretheren even gave a good damn.

i’ve known several women that were named Piper, but that’s the only famous one I could recall offhand.
I’ve also known a couple of “Willows” as well.
Guess it comes from living in California, plenty of weird names here.
The only really odd names in the bunch are Track and Trig. Not the choices I would have made, but they’re her kids, not mine.
If I were naming kids some off-the-beaten-path names, I’d put them in as middle names, rather than the first ones.
That is easy, the koran!
That’s interesting, I went back and reread it.
First you admit you didn’t even read the article before attacking Palin, then you attack Palin for whining, even thou it wasn’t her whining but the author of the article.
Then you accused another Freeper who challenged you about the false comment you made and then you attacked another freeper calling both the freeper and Palin liars.
Only a Mitt or Huckster fan could contort themselves to such points to try and get a cheap shot on Palin and Her supporters....
You have serious issues...
A freaking newbie telling me to go away...that’s rich. Go rejoicing somewhere else. You are clearly a heathen.
KCVL,
If you are going to post something that I said at least have the decency (I know asking you for that is a stretch) to put the reason I wrote my post instead of lying about it. That is very low but something that has become routine to us here at Free Republic from you.
I've heard alot of excuses why someone wouldn't vote for Sarah Palin but that's a new one on me.
Are we still talking about this thread....after 24 hours shouldn’t we be done?
Giggle....he called you a noob ;)
Uh.....yeah......member since 2001, and I actually was a member for several years before that under a different name. The guy’s deranged. His remarks don’t even make sense. Weird!
Do you have a mouse in your pocket or are you just pretending to be speaking for more than yourself on here?
It has certainly become routine for you to lecture people who you don't agree with. You must have a lot of time on your hands to be on here so often.
Don't you have naps to worry about?
Go away. You are a nuisance and a nut.
If you would shut you mouth perhaps that would happen but you keep pinging me every single day and night. So you are the one that is causing me to interupt my reading on FR to answer your stupid posts. If only you said something intelligent perhaps I would be impressed with you but since that is not possible I have to put up with your immature little tantrums.
