Turn her off.

[laheina]

2. Damn straight.

She tried really hard to pin the Dems to Abramoff.

[LynneSin]

5. Dean: Look - open secret shows that Dems never got money from Abramoff

Couric: <ignoring Dean> So what are you going to do about all those dems who got money from Abramoff

I'd rather watch Rush Limbaugh - at least his adgenda is clear

[LuckyTheDog]

3. The RWers think different

The RWers think she is a pinko.

I think she is adorable.

[Chiyo-chichi]

Is Katie adorable when she tries to force people to say that Bush's poll numbers are going to rise?

JIM CRAMER
It’s a pretty good economy. The President is really in a bunker. It’s a pretty good story that he could tell, but he doesn’t seem to be that adept at it any more. But the economy’s growing… jobs are growing. I know, I sound like such a … I’m a gladhander for the economy right now.

KATIE (laughs, huge smile)
That’s OK.

CRAMER
Look, if it was bad, I’d be knocking it. But we’re in good shape. Job growth’s good, inflation’s coming under control. Don’t forget that housing bubble, we picked that first, that’s been pricked… It’s not bad out there, Katie. I… Look, believe me… I was a stock trader for years. I’d love to be gloomy if it would make me money. It won’t make me money!

KATIE
I think it’s great. OK, good. And you think President Bush is going to take advantage of this good news…(Notice I didn’t use a question mark. Her inflection was such that this was not fully a question. At best it was a leading question. “Of course you agree” was implied by her tone.)

CRAMER
Nah, I don’t think he knows how. I mean, he oughta give me a call…

KATIE
All right, OK. (stopping him. Katie continued to talk over Jim as he said…)

CRAMER
I mean, the guy is like… if you listen to him, it’s not good…

KATIE (still talking over him. Extends her hand toward him in a gesture indicating for him to stop.)
Thanks, Jim… thank you.. thank you, Jim Cramer.

15. Ya know what I think?

I think if Couric has managed to piss off partisans on both sides, then that could be a good thing for her "journalistic credibility" (to the extent that she has any, which is questionable).

Is she anchor material? Probably not. But she IS adorable.

[ronnykmarshall]

7. That's soooooo funny.

The freeper types think she's a "hard left anchor".

[Lavender Brown]

4. She's mostly an entertainment reporter, isn't she?

It's like hiring John Tesh to host "60 Minutes." :shrug:

[LynneSin]

6. Yes but at least with John Tech he'd perform his own opening jingle

Let's see if Katie can top that!

[Lavender Brown]

10. But, but... she's so perky!

[madinmaryland]

12. I hate perky people. n/t

[Radical Activist]

8. That's how I see her.

She's annoying and has no credibility.

[Lavender Brown]

9. Ten years from now:

"The CBS Evening News with Ryan Seacrest." :scared:

[Radical Activist]

11. i laughed

but deep down i'm afraid you're right

[imperialismispasse]

13. LMAO

:thumbsup:

[LaraMN]

16. I kind of want to step on her face.

No reason.

[LuckyTheDog]

17. Really

I really am surprised by the hatred for her expressed here.

[tigereye]

20. ah ha

:rofl:

[wildhorses]

18. don't get me wrong but, I think this may be Katie's...

jumping the shark moment...

[tigereye]

19. well she actually once was a pretty fierce journalist

and I don't know that she is really as right wing as people say....

she is a bit too perky for me, though.
