It's interesting to see that Katie equates "morning television" with "liberalism":
Coulter was on the show to hawk her new book, Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right, which just happens to accuse Couric of liberal bias and calls her "the affable Eva Braun of morning television." Before the 12-minute Q&A, Couric noted that Coulter had been referred to as "a right-wing telebimbo." Not long thereafter, Couric challenged Coulter's description.
Couric: "You call me the 'Eva Braun' of liberalism--"
"Affable," interjected Coulter.

Then she rushed over to one of her favorite venues, Fox News Channel, to discuss the tête-à-tête, and, not content to refer to Couric as Hitler's mistress, compared the Today host to Nazi propagandist Josef Goebbels The libs love to ignore the fact that 'Rats have called Republicans "nazis" on the congressional floor.
When you are a propagandist for party loyalty, what keeps a comparison to nazi propagandists off limits?
In congress Republicans were called nazis (with no defense of the comparison) because of their stands on the issues (child care, environment, etc.).

Also note that Katie didn't even have the, well, colon to actually call Ann a bimbo. The best she could do was quote someone.
That way, if Ann were to claim that she said that latter, Cutie Katie could jump up and down every day for a week saying "Ann Coulter lied, Ann Coulter lied".

Libs love to quote someone else saying something outragous.
Headlines in the newspaper will blare: "Worst economy in 50 years!" (with the quotation marks). Then the body of the article will address matters of the economy and include, "Democrat strategist Carville says, 'What the Republicans have given us is the worst economy in 50 years!'"
This is just offered up as a fictional example, check you paper for daily incidents.

Have you notice how the Dem Underground/disruptor types always go for personal attacks? No one is saying Katie did a bad thing by educating folks on colon cancer. We are suppose to be talking about Ann Vs Katie on NBC's Today show. Funny how that happens. I'm sure many of us on FR have taken up good causes in our lives. I like to keep my good deeds private and for God to judge.
But sense you asked, here is Katie's Bio
Katie Couric

Nice catch!
To: Teacup
I agree with you about the lib/dem disruptors with their personal attacks... but there are a lot of Freepers who only know how to respond by personally attacking others as well.

Why did you give Alvin a bu++face?

Every time I see Katie, I think of a chipmunk.
To: Go Dub Go
How did she try to educate someone or anyone on colon cancer?
J.B.U., You would probably feel more at home at D.U.

Chief, the way you described her is right on.
I'll bet seeing her in a bathing suit was akin to seeing the hitlery in one. Ugh. HORRORS.
To: Slyfox
LOL
To: Go Dub Go
You won.
I suppose you know that, and that's why you feel no compunction to add to your point. It's good that you don't suffer foolish comments gladly.
And I have the same tendency as you in that even if I don't like someone, if I think that another has taken an extremely cheap shot at them, I feel compelled to come to their defense.
You did good. You did what any warm blooded, flesh and bone Christian should do. You weren't mean spirited or low-rent, but you made your point just the same. So don't let anybody disuade you from continuing to participate in the discussions on this great site.

I guess if your husband were to become terminally ill, you wouldn't bother to learn all you can about his illness, and perhaps use your knowledge to try to spread the word about how people can try to protect themselves from the illness. Katie Couric tried to educate people about colon cancer, and maybe help some people. What a disgusting scumbag. I'm so glad for you that you're such a betterWhy would you feel sorry for Katie? She is a public persona who habitually feels the need to "educate" the public to her way of thinking because she has a soapbox. God forbid ANYONE disagree with her liberal brainwashed ideas because she will rip them a new colon!
Do I, or should I, feel sorry for Katie because she lost a husband? Absolutely NOT. But I do feel sorry for the average homemaker who's husband dies, leaves her kids to raise - without a nanny, a mortgage to carry, and little to no job skills.
Furthermore, there are plenty of average-joe folks who volunteer their time without getting public credit & kudos for doing so, these too are my heros.

Let's just face the truth, if Ann Coulter and Katie Couric were to present a case before the Supreme Court who would win? In my judgement, Ann Coulter, beauty and brains, will trump Katie Couric, bitchy and boring, any day.
Couric is so terribly jealous.

The left wing bias runs on, Ann Coulter was immediately labeled a "conservative" Where was the perky one labeled a Liberal as she is in Ann's book by the writer of this piece? HUMMMM. Good catch, you are absolutely right!
To: Go Dub Go; Teacup
Hey Go Dub, I don't think teacup has any problem with Katie educating the public of a killer cancer; it's when she non- stop, daily ostensibly "educates" the public through covert innuendo the liberal spin that we find her to be more repugnant and reprehensible than any good she may do by bareing her colon for all the world to benefit. She's a sneaky liar when she tries to pass herself off as a journalist. Eva Braun indeed befits her beautifully!!!!
To: WellsFargo94
Bravo Wells. I posted after reading yours. You took the words out of my mouth.
To: Go Dub Go
Since you seem to have missed the ENTIRE POINT of this thread, I would like to point out to you that Ms Couric's alleged "Expertise" about Colon Cancer Does NOT translate into any level of "expertise" regarding "Liberal Bias & Distortions in the Media!!"
Ann Coulter"ATE HER LUNCH --& her Dessert, Too!!"
