Katie Couric’s speech to Class Day at Princeton was posted Monday on The Huffington Post. In her flailing attempts at humor, she mocked Rush Limbaugh, Donald Rumsfeld, Miss California, and Sarah Palin. And after all that, she counseled the students "don’t be a hater...you must really guard against the cynicism and nastiness that are so pervasive today, especially on the Internet."
That’s certainly true when you count anchor snarkiness on The Huffington Post. Here are some of Katie’s lowlights:
On Rush Limbaugh: "There may be some opportunities in the Republican Party. They're still looking for an effective spokesman, and the only person they can find so far is Rush Limbaugh....and he won't take the job because he doesn't want to give up his prescription plan."
On Donald Rumsfeld: "And I understand Class of 54's Donald Rumsfeld has been charged with guarding the Big Cannon. I don't want to say he's taking his job too far, but he's reportedly been telling President Obama there are Weapons of Mass Destruction hidden at Rutgers."
On Gov. Palin: "Coming here was a real no brainer! After all, I can see New Jersey from my house!"
She attacked Miss California in a more roundabout fashion, as she praised Hillary Clinton and Sonia Sotomayor (and also elsewhere in the remarks, Michelle Obama). She asked "WTF" (in the abbreviated form) about her being the first female off-campus speaker at Class Day:

Katie "Death to America" Couric...you really are as dumb as they come.
and she’s still mired in last place in the ratings
Katie needs to stick to going to abortion rights rallies with her gal pal, Whoopi Cushion.
Katie Couric is such a Clown..hahaha!
Seriously, who EVER watches CBS for anything?
It has been years since I gave up watching anything on this network.
Leftist boring scum like Letterman and Couric are so very, very over.
Katie Couric is as dumb as a bucket of rocks. I hope her ratings on CBS News continue to plummet so that the only idiots stupid enough to watch her are her family
yikes look at those arms!
Couric is an overpaid newsreader.
A Liberal suck up so she doesn’t have
to get a real job.
Trust me..the arms are untouched any touch up. That dress by the way that Couric has on, is one she wore to the Trump Wedding..
I love being lectured by do-gooders on behavior, morals and ethics. After all, I just need to look where they’re in charge to see the anarchy
arms? What are those lumps on her front....right above her belly area? BAAAWWAAAAAAA
Couric is nasty and then inveighs against nastiness? What a soulless hypocrite.
Katie should go to the old skanks home.
I’m sorry, I hate to be nasty, but what a moron.
I mean if you contradict yourself in the same speech, you don’t have much going for you.
A Pravda queen.
Tokyo Cactii.
She'd be better served doing the news for N. Korea.
Bahgdad Boob.
Not only that, I watched CBS Sunday News last night (there was a reason, believe me) and I was amazed to see that the commercials looked to be classic PI’s (that is, per inquiries—IOW, rather than getting paid for the spots, the network gets paid on the number of people who respond by calling the telephone number, or “inquiry”).
PI’s were and are used in nighttime radio, and other low-rated, and lightly listened to programming segments. In this economy they are more and more prevalent. Another key “tell”...they are sometimes two minute spots, rather than the usual 30 or 60 second spot. CBS Evening News had at least one of those.
For CBS to run them before their iconic “60 Minutes” is revealing. BTW, “60 Minutes” ran a Cialis spot, a Flomax spot, and a Caduet spot. Tells you what sponsors think the listener demo is.
