"Good morning. The Gipper was an airhead! . That's one of the conclusions of a new biography of Ronald Reagan that's drawing a tremendous amount of interest and fire today, Monday, September the 27th, 1999."

Katie Couric, Today show co-host

What a LIAR! If NBC had any integrity at all, they would make her give an on the air apology!!!!

I would fire her yesterday.

How does that make Couric a liar on that point???? What Couric said in the 1999 lead-in to the interview with Morris was that MORRIS called Reagan an airhead. He did, in his book.

Look, here are the facts. In an earlier thread, I disagreed with those here who said Couric would be "too scared" or "too intimidated" to do the interview personally. I pointed out that Couric, even though she is liberal, is an intelligent and articulate journalist who is more than capable of holding her own in a difficult interview. I also pointed out that she has a large staff of assistants who would make sure she was well-prepared for the interview. She is and they did. Period. So all the cynical people who thought Couric would duck the show today or cry when confronted by Coulter, etc. were dead wrong, just as I said they would be.
The verdict is in. It was a good debate. Couric held her own, and Coulter held her own, and no big victory was won by either side. Deal with it.
