In an effort to salvage her sagging CBS ratings, Katie produced yet another special based on her nationally televised, award-winning (the prestigious Sphincter Cup) colonoscopy of several years ago.

Unfortunately, so much of the footage was found to contain images such as the still seen here that it was rendered unusable and the project had to be s**tcanned.

Katie told interviewers later that this is how she spends much of her free time as this is where she gets some of her best program ideas. She cited her interview with Hillary Clinton as a prime example.

The “See BS” corporation...They fire everyone except the one who gives them the lowest ratings. Sinking ship is right.

I believe that’s Katie’s nationally televised lower intestinal tract.

Perky, isn’t it?

Further proof that perky Couric isn’t ready for prime time!

Great editorial as always Michael!

Actually he should re-draw that cartoon and put the higher ups as the anchor. They`re the onces who proclaimed after hiring Couric “We are going to kill in the ratings!” Just shows how out of touch they are with the public.

Here is another Ramirez cartoon:

Ramirez' title is "WORSHIPPING THEIR GOD"

______________________________________________________

Here is a comment on the above Ramirez cartoon:

http://www.aish.com/Israel/articles/LA_Times_Cartoon.asp

An anti-Semitic cartoon is one thing. Denying the black-and-white proof is another.

A recent Los Angeles Times editorial cartoon depicted an Orthodox Jew praying at the Western Wall, with the stones of the wall forming the word "hate." The caption read: "Worshipping to their God."

In defense, L.A. Times artist Michael Ramirez pointed out that that the second man in the cartoon (sprawled on the ground and much less noticeable) was actually a Moslem praying. Unfortunately, the keffiah which would identify him as a Moslem is practically invisible to the naked eye.

Furthermore, Ramirez was unable to explain why the chosen venue of "hate" was the Western Wall, a site sacred only to Jews, which has never been used as a place of Moslem prayer.

In response to reader protest, the Los Angeles Times altered its cartoon, deleting the unique Herodian frame around the Western Wall stones, to make it look more look a generic wall.

Are we not allowed to post Ramirez' cartoons? I haven't seen an updated do not post list. Pity if that's so.
