not even Spokane, WA.
== == ==

Isn’t Spokane part of “Cougar Country”?

[Nifster]

Nope. No sympathy here. She made her bed let her die in it

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

I was attacked by a wild cougar once. But it was my own fault. I was in her environment sipping white zinfandal and listening to Journey’s Greatest Hits. I should have known better.

[BJ1]

I clicked on this only to see a pic of Helen Thomas in that leopard print outfit. To my shock, it is not to be found.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Last year I said that she was going to fall so far that she’ll end up interviewing the Kardashians.

Well looky here LOL!...........

At 78, just how old (and experienced) does a woman have to be for me to be able to consider her a cougar.

110. I wouldn't wait around for her.

[Mr. K]

I am guessing that they sit around in the writers room and think of the stupidest things they can get away with making her do on LIVE TV, and giggle their asses off when she does them.

Why are they constantly interviewing themselves (other cast of the network)?

No one wants to go on her show I bet.

[elcid1970]

I was attacked by a wild cougar once.

She was 42, a runway model for Sears, PhD, and insatiable in the best possible way. Two beautiful years followed.

[elcid1970]

Where’s Laz? Are you out there? Wild cougars are right up your alley!

;^)

[Jolla]

Yes I have but at my age the are still younger than me.

[TheShaz]

Have you ever been attacked by a wild cougar?

I would have taken that question the wrong way.

[Snickering Hound]

A whole pack of them. Sloshed on wine and Cosmopolitans.

[rktman]

😹🐆. Well, since I'm 70, any cougar would probably be near 90. 👯🙀

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I was attacked by a cougar once! First thoughts in my mind when the attack came were...”BADGER GAME!” and I backed away fast!

'Have You Ever Been Attacked By a Wild Cougar?'

[nikos1121]

I mean this show is so goofy. She comes out in a suede outfit and asks Matt Lauer if he’d ever been attacked by a wild cougar?

No wonder no one is watching this channel.

[nikos1121]

The two on the right are sisters no doubt...

[tired&retired]

[fella]

When I was in college a cougar attacked me repeatedly.

Best Spring Break ever.
