...One might say that Barack Hussein Obama, or Barack Hussein Obama (Saebarkah), or Barack Hussein (Saebarkah) Soetoro, or Barry Obama, or whatever that guy's name is, is a weird name as well. But I digress.

Just an aside on Katherine with a “K”.

In most European countries, Katherine is spelled with a “K”.
That includes Ireland, Germany, Russia, and almost everywhere except England.

My German great-grandma was “Katherina”. My Irish great-grandma was “Katherine”.

Later on, popular versions of the name became Kathleen, Kaitlin, Kathryn, Katya, Katrina, etc.

All of these latter versions are in use among younger generations of my family.

I like the names. I think they are interesting. Katie Couric is an old has been petty witch.

This story assumes the insults are coming from a person who still has a following.

Nicolas Cage named his son Kal-El (after Superman).
Jason Lee named his son Pilot Inspektor.
Bob Geldof and Paula Yates named their daughter Fifi Trixibelle.
Gwyneth Paltrow named their daughter Apple.
Cortney Cox and David Arquette named their daughter Coco.
Tea Leoni and David Duchovny named their son Kyd.
Steven Spielberg named his daughter Destry.
Angelina Jolie named her son Maddox.
Bono named his daugher "Memphis Eve." But then, he named himself "Bono."
Forest Whitaker named his son Ocean.
Michael Jackson named one of his children Prince Michael, and the next Prince Michael II.
Robert Rodriguez named his son Rocket. Oh, his younger siblings are Racer, Rebel, Rogue, and Rhiannon, the last having been normalized by Stevie Nicks to some extent.
The Edge named one of daughters Blue Angel (see Bono above)
Shannyn Sossamon named her son Audio Science.
Frank Zappa named one child Dweezil, and another Moon Unit. A third was named Diva Thin Muffin. He also named one Ahmet, just to be conventional I guess.
Penn Jillette named his daughter Moxie CrimeFighter.
Rob Morrow named his daughter Tu Morrow.
Jermain Jackson named her son Jermajesty.

I wonder when Katie will poke fun at these children's names?

One favored tactic of the left is ridicule. They did it to President Ford, Dan Quayle, and now to Palin.

Couric is a worthless old hag with zero talent.

Why is this useless pig still on the air?

Early life and career

Couric was born in Arlington, Virginia, the daughter of Elinor Tullie (née Hene), a homemaker and part-time writer, and John Martin Couric Jr., a public relations executive and news editor at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the United Press in Washington, D.C. Her mother was Jewish, but Couric was raised Episcopalian.[1] Couric’s maternal grandparents, Bert Hene and Clara L. Froshin, were the children of Jewish immigrants from Germany.[2] In a report for Today, she traced her paternal ancestry back to a French orphan who immigrated to the U.S. in the nineteenth century and became a broker in the cotton business.

Couric attended Arlington, Virginia public schools: Jamestown Elementary, Williamsburg Junior High, and Yorktown High School[3] and was a cheerleader.[4] As a high school student, she was an intern at Washington, DC all-news radio station WAVA. She enrolled at her father’s alma mater,[5] the University of Virginia, in 1975 and was a Delta Delta Delta sorority sister.

Actually, I think “Track Palin” is kind of a cool name. It’s manly. “Willow” is also very pretty. The other names, IMO, are sort of odd. Not what I’d choose.

This woman had a different take on names:

“You named your baby WHAT?”

Washington to issue directive:

You may only name your children:
Pat, Mike, Harry, Nancy, Al, John, Mary, Obama, Winky-Tink, Okey Dokey, Bamboozler, Wee-wee, Adolf, Hermann, Karl, Vladimir, Joseph, Fidel, Che, Michelle, Obamaisgreat, Hussein or Barack.

Henceforth all other names are VERBOTEN!

Submit your choice (see BrainWashington DOES give you a choice!) to the Ministry of Names Division of the EPA.
If you join the Amerikan Socialist/Communist/Progressive Party the Name Czar may grant you the ability to name your own child, restricted of course to this list.

All hail our leaders!

Couric is beginning to look like an old bag...and she sounds pretty lame and stupid too in the Youtube raw footage. Time for her to hit the streets.

I think Barfsack Ocrumbo is a much nicer name. That’s why I call him that, with much respect and admiration.

Katie Couric is kind of a joke these days, an Affirmative Action hire at CBS - and failing miserably, consistently trailing ABC and NBC nightly news shows. That being the case, Katie Couric is mostly irrelevant. Two years after the fact, her predictably snide, off-camera comments mocking the names of Sarah Palin's children are hardly newsworthy. Just a validation of Couric's inevitable negative attitude going into the Palin interview.

'Perky' Katie Couric is part and parcel of the liberal media 'elite' that surreptitiously despise the American middle class. Because Sarah Palin is undeniably a representative of the American middle class, they loathe her just as they clandestinely loath most 'average' Americans....you know, the people that do the work and pay the bills enabling third-rate TV 'celebrities' like 'Perky' Katie Couric to be paid 15 million dollars a year for the towering achievement of being able to read a teleprompter and make 'serious' faces at a TV camera, on cue.

However, if 'elites' such as 'Perky' Katie Couric can persuade the 'rabble' (in their view, that would be most of us) to elect socialist politicians, like Barack Hussein Obama, they'll consider their mission in life as accomplished because they hope to help move America into a second-rate nation status with a population cowed and dependent on 'government' and the people that control it. Guess who they assume those people will be.

Annoying as Katie Couric's mocking of Sarah Palin's children's names may be, it is just a mere hint of the kind of sordid attacks that will continue to be made by the media and political 'elites' against Sarah Palin, the antithesis of the failed TV 'star', 'Perky' Katie Couric. However, I believe that Paqlin and the kind of values she represents will ultimately prevail. Even now, the left is running scared of Palin and the Tea Party because of the very real threat both pose to the house of cards the political left has erected. The end is coming for the left's domination of politics and the popular culture. Sarah Palin ids a socout and the left is desperatly trying to divert our attention from her message with the tried-and-true ploys of mockery and flat-out lies. It isn't working, anymore. The leftists sense that, and are frightened. Even 'trolls' posting on conservative message boards bashing Sarah Palin and anyone that supports her can't alter the inevitable demise of liberalism as a moving force in America. The sooner the better.

For the record, Katie Couric's girls are named Elinor (19) and Caroline (14).
