Couric to Matthews: "It's a Question of Who is the Lesser of Two Evils" in Iraq (US or Al-Qaeda)

The Today Show

[governsleastgovernsbest]

It has come to this. In discussing Iraq, the Abu Ghraib abuses and the beheading of Nick Berg, Katie Couric summarized the situation in this way:

"It seems like it's become of question of who is the lesser of two evils."

That's right. Katie Couric wondered aloud who might be more evil - Al Qaeda, which, in addition to beheading Nick Berg, murdered 3,000 innocent people on 9/11, or the United States of America.

And please don't imagine for a second that Matthews came to the defense of the US. When Katie asked Matthews for his reaction to the statement from Sen. Zell Miller to the effect that the Abu Ghraib prisoners had underwear put on their heads whereas Berg was left with no head, Matthews completely, yes completely, ignored Berg's beheading.

His answer was entirely devoted to condemning the US for actions that made us look like 'perverts.'

Can Today, Katie Couric and Chris Matthews sink any lower? I suppose anything is possible, but they are going to have to work hard at it after this morning's despicable performance.

Well, my friend, TGIF..you have a weekend's respite from this bilge..

[governsleastgovernsbest]

partial Today Show ping list bump.

[Just mythoughts]

What do you expect, two thirds of this nation voted for perverts as commanders-in-chief during the 90's.

Liberals have perverted minds and they see conservatives as more evil than terrorists.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

This should tide me over nicely. I sincerely hope Katie's comments get picked up by the conservative media. It is perhaps her most outrageous yet.

Actually Clinton never got more than 50% of the vote, even with the cheerleading of Karbala Katie.

Katie just like Kerry and the Clintons see America and her history, institutions, and culture as evil.

"That's right. Katie Couric wondered aloud who might be more evil - Al Qaeda, which, in addition to beheading Nick Berg, murdered 3,000 innocent people on 9/11, or the United States of America."

As Sen Byrd might say... Perky, perky, perky!

[tapatio]

Absolutely unbelievable the complete idiocy of Katie Couric and Chris Matthews.The levels to which the network news has gone to undermine this country,is insane.

[MEG33]

I would hope so...she's just following Kennedy's tirade...We have a media who endangers my future, dems who'd rather win the election that win the war and talking heads who are speaking treason.

[rhombus]

...condemning the US for actions that made us look like 'perverts.'

I couldn't agree more. Bill Clinton's White House was a disgrace.

[anniegetyourgun]

They hate their country. I wish they'd move.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

I think the musing about sexual perversion was intended to paint all servicemembers with a broad brush. The difficulty is that some imbeciles who parrot the leftist party line were not even shocked at this analogy.

[AmericanMade1776]

I know she is biased, Katic Couric..but it is unbelievable that she would pose that question. Has she gone mad?

[Old Sarge]

SOMEBODY PROVIDE ME WITH AN EMAIL ADDRESS TO "TODAY" SO I CAN USE MY 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, FOR ONCE!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Today Show ping.

[The Wizard]

why would you, or anyone, even watch this crap.

"It's a Question of Who is the Lesser of Two Evils" in Iraq (US or Al-Qaeda)

Another unasked question, Katie: "It's the question of who is the lesser of two evils: the liberal media or the liberal Congressmen?"

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I know she is biased, Katic Couric..but it is unbelievable that she would pose that question. Has she gone mad?

I really have to wonder, too. I almost couldn't believe my ears. I think that the left's hatred of George Bush and their frustration of being out of power and their desire to see Kerry elected have indeed driven them insane.

[Corporate Law]

That dumb witch would not change her thinking even if AlQaeda blew up something right outside her studios.

[Just mythoughts]

"Actually Clinton never got more than 50% of the vote, even with the cheerleading of Karbala Katie.

Katie just like Kerry and the Clintons see America and her history, institutions, and culture as evil."


Actual vote true enough, however, the countless polls were always well above 50% and that allowed the Clintons perversion to permeate our institutions and culture. This orgy held in that prison in Iraq sounds just like the orgies held within the White House during the Clintons. The Clintons set that standard and got a pass cause "bill" was so ably to compartmentalize and none of his "sex" habits affected his ability to do his job.

The majority of this nation turned a blind eye to these two perverts while a third outright salivated over their perversion.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

why would you, or anyone, even watch this crap.

A fair question and one that is frequently posed. The whimsical answer is that I do it out of masochism. The serious one is that I think it's worthwhile to keep track of what one of the most widely-watched and, yes, influential outlets of the liberal media is up to.

[7thson]

Actually, Clinton only got slightly less than 50% of the 50% of Americans who voted. In both elections, only about 50 percent of the voting population went out to the polls. Clinton got slightly less than 50 percent of that. It is sad to say that he won with less than 25 percent of Americans voting for him.

[Toespi]

No, she is sane, but when hatred takes over it is difficult to hide the rage under a perky face. Actually, you can see the metamorphis taking place all over this country now. It will soon be time to weed them out.

[TomGuy]

I'm surprised that Katie didn't get Michael Berg on. Daddy Berg seems to be selling the lib/dem talkingpoints, hook, line and sinker. Katie wouldn't even have to prompt him or set up the editorialized questions. Daddy Berg seems already to be on the same page.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I was thinking the same thing in waiting for the show to come on. I can't believe Today chose not to invite him on. They would love it. I have to assume that at least for the time being he is not doing interviews. But I'm guessing that he'll turn up with Katie before long.

[LOC1]

Someone help me understand this, please. Why is what the guards did in Iraq a "perversion," when the same acts performed by President Clinton in the White House were "just sex?" I'm confused.

[Just mythoughts]

I expect Daddy Berg to show up in JFKerry campaign ads.... Probably has already signed a book deal with S&S and in a bidding war over publicity.

[RightOnline]

Katie Katie Katie.............aaaaaaaahhhhhh Katie, you stupid little airheaded b**ch.

[MEG33]

governs does it as a service..He ruins his digestion and protects ours..It's opposition research...Sometimes I peek when he reports Perkie get hammered by a guest as mine comes on later. I have not watched in years otherwise..

[The Wizard]

little chrissy has slowly sunk to the depths of no audience at all, and is headed downward....

Comments like these will soon have his TV show on CB

[wolficatZ]

You should relay this to the MRC. Many thanks for the Today Show reports.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Well I have a simple test for Katie Colonic to prove her inane point.

1) We send her out for 3 days with a group of our soldiers chosen at random, then interview her.

2) Next we send her out for 3 days in a known Al Queada area.

From which one does anybody think libette would safely return?

[MEG33]

I heard Michael Berg blame Bush for his son's death. He is disgraceful...no wonder his son left home a lot. May Nick's murderers be found and punished.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Aw forget the test. Just drop her off in a known Al Queada area. Who cares if she returns.

Why do you torture yourself by watching Katie the Kave Troll every day?

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Done! Thanks for the suggestion.

[TommyDale]

43%, as a matter of fact.

Thank you, again for your service. Enjoy the weekend.

Don't watch. Let them achieve their apparent wish tobecome totally irrelevant. If they haven't already.

Catie Couric - War Correspondent. Chuckle.

[netmilsmom]

Our brave Today Show Ping list holder happens to be one of the heroes who is willing to watch to keep us informed.

I turn it off after a minute.

[COUNTrecount]

"I'm surprised that Katie didn't get Michael Berg on. Daddy Berg seems to be selling the lib/dem talkingpoints, hook, line and sinker."

Mr. Berg must be observing the traditional mourning period for his son.

Be ready to see him on ABCBSNBC in about a week.

BITCH

SORRY Jim and Mrs Jim

[SMARTY]

"It seems like it's become of question of who is the lesser of two evils."

This is the rationale of a 9 year old child. How can a supposedly educated adult pose a question which demonstrates such little understanding of the depth and dimension of the present conflict?

[.45MAN]

Katie Couric wondered aloud who might be more evil - Al Qaeda,or the United States of America !! Katie Couric is the evil one.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Thanks! Will do.

[maryz]

Actually Clinton never got more than 50% of the vote, even with the cheerleading of Karbala Katie.

And didn't only half of eligible voters vote? (That's the figure I always saw, but I'm not sure whether it's half of registered voters or half of those who are eligible to be voters.)

[nuconvert]

Disgusting!....they'll be receiving several emails from me.
