Katie Couric Asks Sarah Palin Which Newspapers She Reads

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 15:04:18 +0000

Katie Couric was allowed to travel and interview Sarah Palin for several days. Barack Hussein Obama only allowed conservative talk show host Bill O’Reilly to interview him for 30 minutes, and Obama never gave a direct answer because he refuses to commit to any position he can’t changed his mind on later.

It comes as no surprise that Katie finally found something the liberal democrats can call a weakness, and it is. Katie asked Sarah which reading material she has read to keep her informed about the rest of the world, but Sarah didn’t have an answer. I don’t believe Sarah did much reading about things outside Alaska, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Sarah will learn going forward like Obama started to learn about international issues after he started running for President. In fact, Obama is still so weak on international policy that he had to pick Joe Biden as his running mate, because Joe, who will not be President, does have international experience. If it’s okay for Obama not to have international experience even though he is running for President, then it’s okay for Sarah Palin who is running for Vice President. John McCain has more international experience than even Joe Biden, and McCain is running for President. If after several years some illness were to strike McCain, Palin would be adequately educated in international relations, and would be able to take over. Obama is in the same boat as Palin, and if elected President he won’t be ready because he’ll still lack interational relations knowledge.

As Joe Biden, Barack Obama’s Vice Presidential running mate said, "The Presidency is not something that lends itself to on the job training." Obama is not ready. He is the issue, because obama is running for President. Palin doesn’t need to know everything to be Vice President, but she will get the training in her weak areas.

McCain is ready to lead, and has been. Remember when Russia attacked Georgia. McCain came right out and condemned Russia. Obama started out saying both sides were guilty and should talk. Five days later Obama changed his position to exactly that of McCain. All while Georgia was being attack, Obama was vacationing in Hawaii, where he has temporarily suspended his President campaign to relax. When our financial and mortgage system melted down, McCain suspended his campaign and went back to Washington D.C. to work on a deal, and Obama criticized McCain for not making the first Presidential debate a priority. McCain made his country his first priority, which is something Obama doesn’t do.

Listen to Joe Biden comment below on Barack Obama’s international experience.

Sarah Palin Interview Number 2 with Katie Couric

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 19:01:01 +0000

Sarah Palin sat for another interview with Katie Couric, this time with John McCain at her side to help defend her from hater Couric.

Couric pointed out an answer Palin gave sounded a lot like a position Barack Obama has about going across the border to get terrorists. Okay, so what’s the problem if they sound like they agree, besides Couric’s seething and obvious hatred for Palin?

John McCain Responds to Barack Obama Sexism Attack on Sarah Palin

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 00:47:28 +0000

John McCain put out this ad that contains statements from Sarah Palin, Barack Obama, and Katie Couric in their own words. Obama is educated enough to realize his statement would create a negative reaction, and sadly, this is the only way he can keep his name in the news. Obama is starting to look like celebrities like Lindsay Lohan who will do literally anything to keep their name in the news. Obama is so desperate he even interviewed with Bill O’Reilly on Fox News.

Obama is so obsessed with Sarah Palin, he can’t even urinate without considering whether to put the seat down afterwards.

Update: In case the video above gets removed we’ve posted the video below without former cheerleader Katie Couric. CBS is upset Katie’s statements are being used to help a Republican, so instead of fighting a losing court case having to do with laws that protect political ads like this one, CBS chose to report copyright infringement to YouTube, and they were more than happy to remove all the videos they could find. CBS only supports freespeech when it has to do with a Democrat cause.

Katie Couric is not a Serious New Anchor

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 23 May 2008 04:48:19 +0000

Katie Couric posted this weird video to her YouTube account. Serious news anchors, who want to be taken seriously, don’t do goofy videos like this unless they’re on SNL, or some late night show.

Larry King Could Die on the Air

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 05:24:57 +0000

Larry King and CNN have agreed to extend his contract until June 2011. This is good news. It was rumored that Katie Couric was being considered to take over for King if he left when his contract expired. Katie would have killed the show in less than a year, just like she’s doing to CBS news. By the time Larry does retire CNN will probably be able to replace him with a robot. A Larry King robot.

Katie Couric Leaving CBS News in Weeks

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 16:27:51 +0000

After the news broke that Katie Couric would be leaving CBS news after the presidential inauguration, the response from the media was very positive for CBS news to be finally dropping the weight that was dragging them down. Now it appears CBS may scoot Katie out the door in weeks rather than months. The New York Times reports:

Though some people close to Ms. Couric, as well as some professional associates, said Thursday they believed that it was now likely she would not remain as anchor through the election, and might even leave in the next few weeks, that point was adamantly denied by the senior executives closest to the decision.

When news like this leaks out of CBS it’s usually true. CNN also responded to Katie replacing Larry King saying they would extend King’s contract when it expires next summer. CNN isn’t doing very well either, so it’s doubtful they’d want Katie dragging them down, especially after they’ve seen what she did to CBS. Some suggest Katie go back to daytime TV, but she doesn’t want to. HG thinks Katie should retire, and write a book.

Katie Couric May Leave CBS News Early

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 04:36:42 +0000

CBS has been losing so much money since Dan Rather had to resign over his fake news, they have recently announced they will be outsourcing their news gathering to CNN. That’s like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. When CBS gave Katie Couric a $15 million a year contract for the next five years, they had hoped she’d revive their news broadcast by attracting a larger female audience, but the plan backfired. CBS has been consistently in last place in the ratings since she joined the CBS evening news.

Now for the good news. Katie may leave CBS as soon as January 2009, when the new U.S. President is inaugurated. There’s talk that Katie could go on to ruin Larry King Live by taking Larry’s place when he leaves CNN next year. Larry is 74, and he is not expected to renew his contract when it expires next year. Katie just needs to go on a long vacation, then come back with something fresh.

Katie Couric Assaults Editor Over a Word

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 20:46:54 +0000

Katie Couric has proven to be the biggest loser CBS has ever employed. She’s cracking under the pressure. Here’s more:

CBS EVENING NEWS anchor Katie Couric is being accused of slapping an editor — after he injected a word she detested into a script!

"The stress has caused her to blow up at her staff for small infractions on the set," charges NEW YORK magazine reporter Joe Hagan, in a story set for publication on Monday.

"During the tuberculosis story in June, Couric got angry with news editor Jerry Cipriano for using a word she detestedâ€” ’sputum’ â€”and the staff grew tense when she began slapping him ’over and over and over again’ on the arm, according to a source familiar with the scene. It had seemed like a joke at first, but it quickly became clear that she wasn’t kidding."

A top CBS executive tells the DRUDGE REPORT that no formal complaint has been filed against Couric over the incident.

"I sort of slapped him around,â€ Couric admits to the magazine. â€œI got mad at him and said, ’You can’t do this to me. You have to tell me when you’re going to use a word like that.’ I was aggravated, there’s no question about that.’ But she says she has a good relationship with Cipriano. ’We did ban the word sputum from all future broadcasts. It became kind of a joke."

A CBS insider says Couric slapped the staffer in a playful manner.

"Look, it wasn’t serious, whatsoever."

The magazine fronts the nearly 6,000-word expose with the headline: "I have days when I’m like, ’Oh my God, What did I do?’ KATIE COURIC’S IMPOSSIBLE YEAR"

Women get away with hitting men even today, but all things being equal, and Katie being in such a position of power, she needs to be held to the same standard as a man would be. Allowing a man to be hit by a woman, and doing nothing about it is sexist. If a man had done that to a woman she would suddenly be a victim. This guy should just sue CBS, and force them to treat men equally. If that doesn’t work the guy should just start dressing like a woman, and go around punching guys in the nose who work at CBS, and if he gets fired he can sue CBS for firing him because he’s a woman.

Katie Couric Tries to Boost Ratings

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 10 May 2007 16:44:44 +0000

This is why America loves Katie Couric so much that her show is last in the ratings. She’s an ex cheerleader who loves to bowl.

Katie has the wrong people advising her. It’s easy to remake her image. Let’s try…

First she’s bowling. Woohoo! She’s just a regular gal. Wrong! Turn that into zexy Katie. Katie loves big balls, and can’t keep her hands off them. See? Now you’ve got male viewer’s interest.

Second, Katie has a cute smile, she’s a little chunky, and she’s a mom. Wrong! Dye her hair blond, give her a face lift, a breast lift, liposuction plus some Jenny Craig, plump up her lips, put her in a low cut dress, have her talk like she’s a little bit ditsy, and spread word she’s having an affair with Matt Lauer. Now you’ve now got the attention of male and female viewers. A dramtic beautiful b_tch would send ratings soaring.

I know, I know, I’m a P.R. genius, but don’t forget I’m handsome too.

Katie Couric Slims Down via Photoshop

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 30 Aug 2006 18:54:42 +0000

Jessica Simpson is probably kicking herself right about now, seeing how she could have lost weight with Photoshop rather than by eating right and working out. Here’s more:

Vanity, thy name is not Katie Couric.

The incoming CBS News anchor is taking in good stride articles in both the New York Post and the city’s Daily News that show a photo of her in promotional magazine Watch! that was digitally altered to make her look about 20 lbs. thinner.

“I liked the first picture better because there’s more of me to love,” quips the former Today host, reports the News.

Couric, 49, also said she was unaware that the photo – which was reportedly taken in May – would be touched up until it crossed her desk. (The publication goes to CBS stations and to passengers aboard American Airlines.)

Actually, the “real” Couric appears on the cover, sporting a smile and a dark business suit. But on the inside of the magazine, a thinner version of Couric is shown, wearing a darker striped designer suit.

“The editorial staff of Watch! magazine retouched the photo without the knowledge of Miss Couric and CBS News management,” CBS spokeswoman Dana McClintock tells the News.

Couric bows as the new anchor next Tuesday.
