GOP Urges Palin Fans to Post Couric 'Elaine' Dance Pics

The GOP is apparently taking on Sarah Palin’s very personal vendetta against CBS evening news anchor Katie Couric. Palin, ever the victim, blames Couric’s “gotcha journalism” for her interview during the presidential campaign.

Recently, Gawker Media posted some embarrassing pictures of Couric victory dancing at a party in 2006 soon after she was tapped for the top CBS spot. The dancing photos are reminiscent of Seinfeld’s Elaine’s ‘The Little Kicks” dance. During the episode, a horrified George said of Elaine’s dance: “It’s like a full body dry heave set to music.”

Couric obviously was having fun with friends. But Republicans have been pouncing on the dancing photos with mean-spirited glee.

John McCormack of the conservative Weekly Standard posted a series of the Couric photos with the snarky heading: “Any of these pictures of Katie Couric would make a great Newsweek cover, don’t you think?” He was referring to the recent right-wing brouhaha over Newsweek’s choosing a cover shot of Sarah Palin wearing running shorts.

Palin posted on her Facebook page that the cover was “sexist.” Perhaps it was, but Palin willingly posed for the photo wearing her modest running clothing for an article appearing in Runner’s World magazine.

Next, the Republican National Committee decides to join the Couric fest. Todd Herman, the RNC Media Director used his Twitter account to urge Republicans to post Couric’s dancing photos to counteract uncomplimentary photos of Palin.

[who knows what evil?]

The expression on the other woman’s face is disturbing...

Your very own See-BS evening news lapdancer. David Brinkley must be rotating in his grave right now

[SMARTY]

You’re only young once... but you can be immature forever!!!

“Republicans sure are a spiteful bunch”.

And Democraps aren’t?

[MrB]

Especially because she resembles Jodie Foster...

She look s constipated in one, and like she’s a peasant about to give birth in a field in the other.

Katie says: "Colin Health is important!"

"Watch me dump one out here on the floor!"


"I can even have my new friend insert a rod in my colon without flinching!," exclaims Katie



"Ah, fiber! It's nature's broom!"

Are there no men dancing?
What kind of bar is that?
Not much diversity either.

[caddystacks]

lolz!!

[N. Theknow]

I never realized Couric had such manly hands.

Dad always said to go with women who have small hands as it makes you look bigger.

Ewwwww.

Nope.Ain't bitin'.
I don't believe for one minute the GOP would sanction this kind of muckraking.
This is strictly the province of the left.The GOP is certainly not squeaky-clean when it comes to trading barbs,but they wouldn't do what you're suggesting or encouraging.It's counterproductive.

[gimme1ibertee]

And,by the way, Sarah doesn’t HAVE a vendetta against Couric,so knock it off. Begone,troll!

[TheThirdRuffian]

The RNC doesn’t have the balls.

That’s what we do.

Betcha he'll be looking for another job soon. The MSM will be asking every Republican they are willing to disavow his actions. McCain will be the first to. Or Michael Steele.

[Zathras]

I didn’t know Couric used to be a stripper?

[elhombrelibre]

Well, I used to disagree strongly with her, but I wasn’t previously repulsed. She’s an unattractive woman, and I didn’t see that before in the perky little one. Previously she was a flighty, haughty, know-nothing Liberal who thought she was cute even earnest. Now, yuck.

[thecabal]

I'm no defender of the GOP, but you are correct. Here's the dude's Twitter account. In two separate places, he states that this is his own opinions, not those of his employer. This article is a steaming pile of lies.

Palin, ever the victim,

Stop reading right there.
