As 2010 comes to a close, the media industry is taking its annual breather to reflect upon all the things it had to cover in the past year. Katie Couric, in her CBSNews.com review of 2010, highlighted the controversy surrounding the Park51 project. The bigotry expressed against Muslims in this country has been one of the most disturbing stories to surface, she told her panel. In that media narrative, she saw a seething hatred many people feel for all Muslims, which she theorized could be remedied by another, more lighthearted narrative: Maybe we need a Muslim version of The Cosby Show.
She came to the situationally comedic solution after offering this take on American Islamophobia:
I also think sort of the chasm between, or, the bigotry expressed against Muslims in this country has been one of the most disturbing stories to surface this year. Of course, a lot of noise was made about the Islamic Center, mosque, down near the World Trade Center, but I think there wasnt enough sort of careful analysis and evaluation of where this bigotry toward 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide, and how this seething hatred many people feel for all Muslims, which I think is so misdirected, and so wrongand so disappointing.
So could funny Muslims in even funnier sweaters be the answer? I know that sounds crazy, she said, But The Cosby Show did so much to change attitudes about African-Americans in this country, and I think sometimes people are afraid of what they dont understandlike you, Mo. She was referring to Daily Show veteran and NPR regular Mo Rocca, who was present for the discussion. A Harvard alumnus, Rocca shamefully confessed that despite having attended really fancy schools, he knows basically nothing about Islam.

Will the suicide bomber daughter be a recurring role?
What we actually learned from this year is that ordinary Muslims who have been integrated into American culture can be turned into terrorists by their religion.
Did I get that wrong?
60 Minutes (until detonation)
Katie Couric: Lightweight
Wonder if we could get the South Park guys to do something like that. It could be funny.
Let’s Make an IED...Jake and the Fat Wah...Welcome back Qatar...Mad Men....Have Bomb Will Travel
They can have hilarious episodes like, “Aisha meets a Christian boy, and her brothers stab her to death,” or “Mom went driving by herself, so dad beat the crap out of her.”

She would like to get stoned on national TV?
Folks...Katie is accurate...Notice I said ACCURATE. Its what the elft does. If America hates something...I mean despises it, just make a sit-com about it and melt their resistance with humor. Workd for all things homosexual and more. They figured this out long ago. While I consider Couric an Anti-American because of her values I do say she is only harnessing what she knows works AGAINST America.
Now, this being said I want you all to obey Obama as well...when he said get in their face...dang it we should. I am no longer polite about it. They deserve the warfare they used effectively against us for decades and I am done with them and the lies they spawn and more.
Rise up and act folks get activ e against them.
Leave it to Cleaver?
The Bombs of Saint Mary starring Bang Crosby?
It occurred to me that an Muslim woman who is unmarried must be uglier than a camel and smell worse. And that raises another question; Where could they find 72 virgins in paradise for each Muslim terrorist martyr? The virgins must be the ugliest of the bunch in which case when the dead bomber gets to paradise and sees this crowd he probably passes them on to next dead sucker.
I totally disagree.....
Your giving her far to much credit / substance.
She's the B. H. O'Bama of the L/MSM set.
"there's no there, there."...a {null set}
here they are.....
Maybe they could do a version of one of those remodeling shows where they tear down a house and rebuild it?
They could take a couple of huge skyscrapers knock em down, and build like a giant mosque or something.
AMEN!
Maybe Katie could have a role in the show. I think she'd be fine as Minnie, the Jew eating mouse.
Yes, but not for long. They all blow up too soon.
