Ode to ObamaCare: Katie Couric reads poem extolling healthcare bill

November 29, 2009, 12:57 pm · 8 comments


Would Walter Cronkite have recited a poem about the day’s news? Chet Huntley? David Brinkley? Hell, even Keith Olbermann would have had more sense.

Well, damn those old sticks in the mud. Katie Couric is not about to be bound by tradition.

The Perky One recited a holiday Ode to ObamaCare last Monday night.

That’s not to say the CBS News anchor is taking a position on the issue. No, not at all. Surely, she’s just looking for creative ways to deliver the news and climb out of the ratings basement. If this works, she may try topless news next week.

We’re not big on poems here at IHateTheMedia.com, but we do know a few about a girl from Nantucket.

Let’s see.. it’s not original… it’s not news…. it’s something you might hear from a middle school student who wants to suck up to his liberal PC English teacher.. it makes me gag.

Palin to Couric next interview: “you’re kidding right???? You have to be the single dumbest woman on earth…..and it is obvious that the gotcha’s you laid on me in the interview were fed to you through a listening device!”

the fact that someone is dumb enough to put Couric in the “anchor’s chair” just goes to show that the leadership at CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, are all dumber than the “talent” they put on air. Hilarious!

This is what happens when the news journalist thinks that it is all about them and not the news. She is so full of herself and something else. Both stink! I wonder if she read her poem to the Salahls couple at the WH.

Why has WH reached out to UnAmericans for ideas to help w/ jobs summit? 2 reasons; WH has no clue and to take focus off HC.

She is a sorry attempt at combining serious journalism with eye candy.

Lets be honest. She is NOT eye candy. She is just too far past her prime. She is not a serious journalist. She read a poem? C’mon…….give me a break.
