Katie Couric: 'Hopefully' Saddam Made It to Syria

Is perky "Today" show host Katie Couric actually rooting for Saddam Hussein to survive the U.S. military's repeated attempts to take him out?

It sure sounded that way during a report she delivered on the fate of the Baghdad Butcher yesterday.

While chatting about Saddam with NBC's Pentagon correspondent, Jim Miklaszewski, the multimillion-dollar morning host asked whether U.S. officials had been able to "confirm reports he was taken to Tikrit, and then Mosul, and then hopefully to Syria."

Hopefully?

Surely Couric didn't mean to suggest that she actually hoped the brutal dictator would escape justice by fleeing to another terrorist-sponsoring state.

Or did she?

The full exchange went like this:

COURIC: Mik, we only have a few seconds left. But quickly, anymore information about Saddam Hussein's fate?

MIKLASZEWSKI: Not at all. Wild speculation. But U.S. officials insist they still don't know what happened when - after they bombed that site in western Baghdad earlier this week.

COURIC: So, they haven't been able to confirm reports he was taken to Tikrit, and then Mosul, and then hopefully to Syria.

MIKLASZEWSKI: That - that's very unlikely considering the kind of U.S. forces that are arrayed up there.

COURIC: OK, Mik. Thanks.

If anyone has the telephone number for NBC in NY or LA please post it. I had the number somewhere but seem to have misplaced it. I have a few choice words for the management. They need to fire the bimbo Couric. Semper Fi

It would have been one thing for her to say "hopefully for him", but just plain "hopefully"? Who's side is she on?

New Katie Couric Dolls Set to Fly Off the Shelves

[Timesink]

Katie Colon has been a lot of things over the last week or two. "Perky" is not one of them.

This morning she was so grim I thought her face was about to fold in on itself.

[Mr. K]

Her colonoscopy on live TV was a search for her brains.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

Did anyone catch her opening bash this morning?

Matt: "Coalition forces have been authorized to 'crack down' on any lawlessness, at their discretion."

Katie: "Yeah, whatever THAT means."

---

She makes me ill.

[chiefqc]

Damn, I thought it would be an X-rated Doll, on it's knees in front of shi*dam.

Katie is a cow. She should be given a bale of hay, a block of salt and put out to pasture ;-)

[Delphinium]

Who is she?

Just kidding I know but haven't seen her in years.
Whats the number, or email, I'll complain.

[bourbon]

I would love it if Couric lost her job.

She is the most overpaid person in America.

[Delphinium]

''I had hoped people would come up with an opportunity for him * to save face,'' she said.

After all, what was so bad that he did?

[bigjoesaddle]

When talking quickly, stuff cam fly ouot of your mouth before you can think about it. But this sure sounds like a Freudian slip to me.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) In the war against terrorism, the Bush administration has failed to balance the scales of liberty and security, former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno told a packed audience Monday night at Brown University.
