Couric Raises Spectre of Republican Plot, Racial Motivation in Bugging of Philly Mayor

The Today Show

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Katie Couric of The Today Show just completed a segment on the news that an FBI bug had been discovered in the office of Dem Philadelphia Mayor John Street.

Street's administration has been rocked by scandals, including accusations that it fixed parking tickets for allies and awarded a $13.6 million contract to a firm linked to the mayor's brother. An aide to Street has been charged with threatening a landlord who rented space to the campaign of his Republican opponent, Sam Katz.

A balanced approach would have included guests from both sides of the issue. But true to her style, Katie only invited in the Mayor himself.

Not only did Katie offer up the traditional softballs she reserves for Dem guests, she resorted to her favorite technique to push her own views under a very paltry guise of journalism.

Twice Couric cited her favorite source, the all-knowing: "some." Thus, stated Couric, "some" have suggested that the FBI's investigation was politicaly motivated, part of a Republican effort to bring down Street, who is involved in a bitter re-election campaign against Republican Sam Katz.

And later in the interview, Couric, always eager to throw gasoline on the flames of racial division, asserted that "some" have suggested that the investigation was racially motivated, against the African-American Street.

Of course Street was only-too-willing to buy into Katie's conspiracy theories, though he actually conducted himself with more dignity and less partisanship than Couric.

Of course, Street's more temperate attitude might well have been induced by his knowledge of the depth of the corruption in his office.

Some have suggested that the African American Liberal Leaning Street planted the bugs himself to throw suspicions on Sam Katz so that he can easily win the election. BTW -- does Katz even stand a chance of winning?

The fawning sheeple who flock outside the show everyday are especially scary!

[Havoc]

I saw this coming when I posted on the article the other day. LOL. The story to them is an opportunity at cover up by pointing the finger elsewhere. It goes hand in hand with the vast liberal media conspiracy to never mention the party affiliation of a democrat that gets in trouble while mentioning the affiliation of every republican that gets in trouble.

Is Katie off her meds?

[freeperfromnj]

Let her keep it up and she'll end up in the scrap heap with the the LA Times sooner or later.

[Pharmboy]

Yes I agree; if you can stand to watch her (she does have great legs, though), please report on her antics from time to time.

And your write up was excellent...

[anoldafvet]

Wasn't the voter turnout in the 2000 election something like 110% of registered voters in Philadelphia?

[twigs]

Yes it is. And it also involves the disappearance of $4 million, a local college and the international airport. It has national security written all over it!

Personally, I think Perky Katie should sign up for another colonoscopy.

There appears to be a blockage that's causing a massive back-up in her system.

I wouldn't be suprised if PK's Q-Tips come out brown.

"Some" have noted that affable Eva-Braun act-alike Katie Couric is a lesbian who prefers underaged girls.

Anonymous sources have confirmed.

Other anonymous sources have noted that she uses Columbia's finest to ply her preferred targets.

The Perky Katie Couric's accomplishments are legendary. Here she interviews a piece of cheese by telephone.

Affable Eva Brown (Couric): Isn't it true that the Bush administration clubs infants like baby seals?

Cheese: Well, Katie, I....

Affable Eva Brown (Couric): And isn't it true that GW Bush prays to Hitler every night?

Cheese: Um, Katie, N....

Affable Eva Brown (Couric): Thank you for confirming these facts, Cheese.

Other anonymous sources have noted that she uses Columbia's finest to ply her preferred targets.

"Some" have said that. And "Some" have even said that she injects heroin every evening.

[metalboy]

I saw her Tuesday morning for about 3 minutes. It was all I could take. "Isn`t possible these machines could be defective? bla bla bla" Yeah honey, not as defective as your head.

[johnb838]

Let's not forget the overwhelming "many" have claimed. I also have to control the gag reflex when hearing any sentence that begins with "It is unclear...".

[MEG33]

I hadn't thought about it,but my problems started when I started reading about Katie,governs!Nexium ,huh,?I'll try it!..

Can there ever be an investigation of a black politition that isn't characterized as being racially motivated?

[TheGunny]

Every one thinks she is just another cute, bubbly morning show personality, but we know the truth dont we? She is straight up the Anti-Christ!

[an amused spectator]

Yeah, well, how appropriate was it that Katie showed her ass?

You know what "some" say about how you can tell when a porn starlet is just about washed up - she does the Katie thang.

We need a separate posting mode for saying really vile things about the Bob Mulhollands, Katie Courics and Al Frankens of the world. I just had the thought that Kobe Bryant could advance the "Couric defense" (but your honor - I thought she was Katie!), but I can't elaborate on the main forum. :-)

[TexasCajun]

I saw Perky Katie the other morning while flipping channels.

She looks so OLD & WORN, wrinkles, crows-feet, growing her hair longer to appear younger. She's not an attractive woman! ...and I'm being nice.

[an amused spectator]

And "Some" have even said that she injects heroin every evening.

This is a vile and disgusting misrepresentation of the "facts"! My "some" maintain that this occurs in the early afternoon! ;-)

[Ditter]

WOW! Watching the Today show & reporting on Katy Couric is TOUGH DUTY! I fly into a rage when I see the ugly little gnome on the screen.
