COURIC SCORES INTERVIEW WITH HILLARY FOR 'CBS EVENING NEWS'... DEVELOPING...

America's morning TV sweetheart, Katie Couric, wasted no time on Wednesday trying to turn the beheading of Americans in Iraq into political ammunition - asking the brother of executed hostage Jack Hensley if he still supported the war.

Katie Couric put together a double-headed gag-a-thon on this morning's Today Show. First, an interview with Terry McAuliffe (AKA "America's Most Loathsome Man") - RNC head Ed Gillespie being allowed along for the ride. Then, an exclusive interview with Her Hillaryness Herself. Consider the implications of Katie's opening question to McAuliffe: "How much does Kerry's early support for the war in Iraq hamstring his ability to criticize it now?" Is she a journalist, or a Democratic strategist, worrying and game-planning how Kerry might work around his vote for the Iraq resolution? The Loathsome One proclaimed that "Bush has had a...

Today, La Quric is wearing a tasteful aquamarine blouse, and the 55-gallon drum of makeup in Wardrobe has restored some of her former youthful glory. Katie and former drug czar Barry McCaffrey* were doing the Blood Dance of the Press Sinister over the pair of current Sunni attacks in Iraq. Apparently, McCaffrey has his finger close to the pulse of Sunni/Ba'athist nationalism, for he was able to "report" authoritatively about Sunni feelings in the area of the attacks. Or he just made it up. It's not just isolated attacks, it's an "insurgency", Barry declares. At least NBS has the decency...

As of this morning's Today Show, the world is now officially upside down. In the wake of John Kerry's impromptu slur captured on tape accusing the Bush administration of being "the most crooked, lying group I've ever seen" guess who should be on the defensive? Why the Republicans, of course. Just ask Katie Couric. "The Affable Eva Braun of Morning TV" (copyright 2002 Ann Coulter) just completed an interview with NBC political heavyweight Tim Russert. After playing the tape of Kerry's comments, the obvious question would have been along the lines: "how much does this hurt Kerry?" But no, this...

This morning the perky one Katie Couric wore a red outfit. She proclaimed that she was wearing it because she once had seen Laura Bush wear red, and that Mrs. Bush was leading a crusade against breast cancer. Am I the only one that smells an alterior motive here? Katie wore black after the 2000 election, black again after the 2002 mid term elections, and black the morning after Saddam was caught. It must pain Couric to support a real man. She's been forced into a strange situation. Most recently Couric grilled Terry McAuliffe and Ted Kennedy. To those who...

NBC’s Katie Couric on Wednesday morning praised as “quite moving” John Edwards’ South Carolina victory remarks, the umpteenth rendition of his standard stump speech designed to appeal to people’s jealousies as he repeated his usual liberal mantra about “two different Americas” in health care and schools and how “we’re going to build one America that works for everybody.” Couric soon revealed she was just channeling the views of liberal political operative, and former Clinton enabler, Dee Dee Myers, as she prompted Myers: “You were quite moved by that speech.” And, without naming anyone, Couric insisted Edwards’ diatribe got “positive reviews,...
