(Katie) Couric finds a guy who's RIGHT for her

[brooklynite]

Does "Today" show star Katie Couric have a new beau?

And is he Washington, D.C., beer distributor Jimmy Reyes - a 43-year-old divorced father of two who happens to be a staunch supporter of President Bush and former fiance of right-wing radio host Laura Ingraham?

Apparently, the answer is yes - which might reassure Couric's Republican detractors as she considers leaving NBC for the anchor chair at "CBS Evening News."

...snip...

The wealthy Reyes - who's contributed $37,000 to Republican candidates and political action committees since 1999 - keeps a low profile. The National Enquirer identified him only as a "sexy mystery man" last October in photos of the happy couple beaming at each other on a Manhattan sidewalk.

...snip...

I hear that some of Couric's friends are surprised that she's hanging with a guy who almost married the hard-right Ingraham. Reyes and the radio host were engaged in April 2005, but soon afterward, Ingraham told her listeners that she was coping with breast cancer, and the wedding was off.

1. Of course, this should surprise no one here at DU, where it has

been apparent for some time that Katie is clearly biased on behalf of conservatives.

[Atman]

2. I hear he slaps her around and calls he Ann Coulter during sex

Some say that, anyway.

;-)

6. hee hee hee

eom

[Swamp Rat]

16. HAHAHA!

:rofl:

[MADem]

3. He sounds like a real PRIZE!!!

Friends say that before Ingraham - who was traveling yesterday and unavailable for comment - Reyes canceled his engagement to another Washington woman. Runaway groom?


A real love-'em-and-leave-'em Lothario, sounds like!

[Atman]

7. Once he looked deep into Katie's colon, it was love at first sight

She's apparently a bigger asshole than Ingraham!

[madame defarge]

14. Clearly he was holding out for someone with more $$$$... n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

15. Before I got to the sentence about Ingram's cancer, I wondered if that's

when he left her. Then voila! Lovely................

4. How Kaganesque.

Contrary to their public personas, these women don't possess enough self-esteem to fill a thimble.

[President Jesus]

5. detailed list of campaign contributions

NewsMeat: http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?last=Reyes&first=James

donated to Coors, Dubya, and some locals. Definitely a partisan.

8. He Was Engaged 10 Months Ago? To A Woman Who Got Breast Cancer?

Who the fuck is this asshole Newt The Second? I am sorry but 15 year olds switch relationships this quickly NOT a 43 year old man (child). I give this 6 months max. A double malignant narcissistic relationship has as much chance of surviving as a fish in jello.

[RawMaterials]

11. I guess he didn't want to pay for the health care

or couldn't afford it

[Binka]

17. He's A Narcissistic Fuck Who Ran Because He Is An ASSHAT

I can smell them through the internet. No. Really I can. Run Katie you vapid moist stain.

[Chiyo-chichi]

25. I could not agree with you more.

And I'm speaking as a 44 year old divorced father of two.

What's more... CBS had better NOT give Dan Rather & Watler Cronkite's chair to Katie Couric.

[Glimmer of Hope]

9. Did anyone see a recent interview of Mike Wallace where

he says the Couric move to CBS is a done deal? I just saw excerpts of the interview yesterday and couldn't tell if he was joking.

[tanyev]

10. What a catch! A guy who dumped his fiancee after she was

diagnosed with breast cancer. Katie sure can pick 'em. Wasn't she seriously involved with someone else for a while? What happened to him?

[Atman]

18. He gets his relationship advice from Newt Gingrinch

nt

[northzax]

12. he's the Miller guy

and he gave to Adolph Coors? oooh.

and he's described as 'rich' but only gives $37,000 over 5 years? whoopee.

[Binka]

19. Thats What I Said $37,000 in 5 years THAT IS NOTHING

I got some money and I give a shit load of it away. If he has got money that should be near the $150,000 mark. So either he doesn't have money or he is a tight ass cheapo...hmm maybe both!

[northzax]

20. or he doesn't really care about politics

and gives money to the GOP because his business contacts do, so he just goes along.

[Binka]

22. He Is Dating The Vapid Moist Stain So He Is Vapid Too

What a poseur!

[President Jesus]

23. then you'll love to see how much Warren Buffett has donated...

...over the past 30 years: http://www.newsmeat.com/billionaire_political_donations/Warren_Buffett.php

$57k

My guess is this cat is a cheapo-extraordinare!

[W_HAMILTON]

13. "43-year-old divorced father?"

Lemme guess, he's also one of the staunchest supporters when it comes to the "sanctity of marriage" ....

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

21. The Washington Post reported this in October. I just did a search.

Not so new gossip or beau for that matter.

[annabanana]

24. I SO hope that CBS doesn't bite...

she would curdle the little bit of good milk they have left...
