LOL! When I first saw the thread title, I said OUT LOUD "She's a troll!" Then as I scrolled down the replies, and saw your post...

I snorted my Pepsi out my nose. Man that stings!

[Jim Scott]

For the record, she is adorable with the sound off -- great face, better legs, altogether a lovely package. If she was on our side, wouldn't you guys all admit this?

Obviously, Katie Couric's physical appeal is subjective.

She has a great smile, but an otherwise average face. Her legs are too short, too muscular and not especially attractive, in my opinion. No, even if she was a conservative Republican, I wouldn't find Couric especially attractive. Now, Diane Sawyer - another liberal - is attractive. Great legs, too.

Then, there is Ann Coulter. My favorite. But that's another story.

You are talking about 5 yrs ago. I accidently saw her on TV last week and my reaction was... mygawd- what has happened to her? There must be some reason.

[Slyfox]

Man you like to drive close to the railing don't you.

LOL, yeah but sometimes the scenery ain't half bad.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

OK, now we get to see what the bleeding heart does for her fellow man with HER own money instead of OURS via the government.

The salary is $64.95 million too high, especially for a network struggling to improve ratings.

>>Specifically, some have said that she doesn't even look good. Even leftist jackasses are deserving of some chivalry. For the record, she is adorable with the sound off -- great face, better legs, altogether a lovely package. If she was on our side, wouldn't you guys all admit this?<<

No!!! THAT'S WHAT I MEANT! SHE'S A TROLL!!!

Seriously, her beauty escapes me. But then, I don't get the big deal about Julia Wormlips Skinnyface Roberts, either.

"I'm extremely gratified; NBC has been extremely generous."

She must have something on them.

[Economist_MA]

65m for somebody to read the news? And I thought I had a problem with people getting 100m for hitting a baseball.

[Paulus Invictus]

Except when she cannot help herself and sneers at all conservatives on her miserable show.

[texson66]

Well, I'd feel better if she would donate half her first year's salary to the victims of the WTC attack. But she's more likely to contribute to daycare for misunderstood muslim children (who want to become suicide bombers)!

[E=MC²]

Gee...I sure hope katie cow-lick pays her FAIR SHARE of taxes on that obscene amount...I also hope she personally contributes big time to the less fortunate of society...I also hope she comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable (herself included)...yada yada yada.

[MinuteGal]

Yep, Kolon Katie's sister really died and was buried. On the other hand, there are many liberals in Congress who also died years ago but still hold office.

Little Katie Communist -- proves the point -- all you have to do to advance at NBC is be a raving leftist a$$whore.

[D2BAH]

It's her whispery-but-whiney, phonily pensive voice that sickens ME.

[SerpentDove]

>>It's her whispery-but-whiney, phonily pensive voice that sickens ME.<<

I've never mentioned this, but ya know what irritates me?

The guys on the ABC Radio network, who do the news at the top of the hour. At the end of some story, after they have used all possible verbal inflection and innuendo to make conservatives look bad, they'll refer to each other, i.e., "Doug?"

(As if to say, and you can almost hear the eyebrows arching, 'Doug, what do you make of this latest Evil Republican update? Pretty evil, wouldn't ya say?!!! Now to your story.")

Rush Limbaugh is way ahead in the salary sweepstakes. I have rarely watched Couric but I did catch her when she and the Today show went to Australia during the Olympics in 2000. I found her truly moronic. No way could I stand her on a regular basis.

[Notwithstanding]

Apparently you don't remember his scathing and witty first-hand stylized monologue accounts of gala media events to which he somehow got invited. He skewered them all - all the media elites who were sucking up to x42 and his crowd - defending the sinkmaster. What on earth do you think Drudge intends when he runs the names of companies together as though they were one (as in CNNTIMELIFEWARNERAOL)? He is pointing out the inherent conflicts of interest and other problems that come along with this incestuousness. You need to read more than the headlines.

[BillofRights]

The colonoscopy-commie-cueen loves that capitalism for her elite self, but not for the rest of us common folk. She lost her husband and sister to cancer. Maybe, just maybe....

[Republicus2001]

Wht this adoration and exhaltation and "breaking story" of just another fat cat of the Big Lie Industry? Don't give in to the B.S. (It's just a TV show)
