Katie Couric: The Softest Landing for Republicans Since Pat Nixon

Why do I subject myself to the Today Show? Oh, yeah, for hard-hitting political analysis! This morning, ever-curious Katie decided she wanted to determine just how fabulously Dick Cheney had done on Fox last night. Who better to ask than Mary Matalin, the Cheney aid who arranged the whole thing and even held his hand in the Green Room? Well, trust that this was some totally hard-hitting, unvarnished analysis, indeed! My recap:

Katie: So... was the Vice President great on Fox last night or what?
Mary: Yes, yes he was.
Katie: Should he have told the press sooner?
Mary: No, he should not have.
Katie: So what you're saying is that he handled it superfantastically?
Mary: Yes, Katie, that's correct.
Katie: And anybody who harps on the incident now is just mean-spirited and churlish?
Mary: I couldn't have put it better myself, Katie. Oh, and by the way, anything that comes out of Mr. Cheney's mouth is automatically declassified.
Katie: How fascinating!

Those aren't exact quotes, by the way, but fairly close. So I think we can close the book on this controversy, don't you?

When Katie Couric swooned a few years ago and said, "Navy Seals rock!" that was when she jumped the shark for me.
She's too goofy and too GOP to have any remaining credibility.

Katie Couric has always been too perky to be trusted.

"This was a very close friend this happened to. Everyone was shaken up about it."--Mary Matalin, commenting on Cheney's reaction to gunning down Whittington

[Brit Hume]: Would you describe him as a close friend, friendly acquaintance, what --

THE VICE PRESIDENT: No, an acquaintance.--Faux interview 2/15/06

Princess, I think the correct declassified superfantastic quote is that anything that comes out of Dick Cheney's mouth is mean-spirited and churlish.

Oops, was it tomorrow that he was supposed to say that?

Katie, help, this is just too fascinating for me to understand myself.

Ah, shit. I hoped she was being superfantastically sarcastic. I don't watch her. No chance, huh?

Have you never seen Katie soft-pedaling the Republicans before? Oh, she's seriously in love with them.

Katie Couric is a cum belching road whore. Her interview skills are as shallow as her perkiness.
