I think this would have made Walter Cronkhite proud.

4. Wow..I'm so happy about this.

"Are we really still debating health care when a man brings a handgun to a church where the President is speaking?

How does a swastika spray-painted on a Congressman's office further a discussion about Medicare?

These are tough and challenging times and lots of people are scared about their jobs and the economy. But we can't let fear and frankly ignorance - drown out the serious debate that needs to take place - about an issue that affects the lives of millions of people.

It's time for everyone to take a deep breath and to focus on the task at hand before this sideshow drowns out the main event."

8. These are "tough and challenging times" because of the greed

and arrogance of the neocons and those they lead around by the nose.

5. I can't read HuffPo comments anymore.

It's like FR 2 some days. Oh, but what I really mean to say was that was an excellent, well-reasoned comment. I hope she has extra security. :eyes:

[Clio the Leo]

6. And in a pink shirt and lipstick no less, gotta love it!

That must be the "spin" Randy was talking about today on the MSM. ;)

7. Thanks Katie!

I am going to watch her news show now!!!

9. Katie did much to torpedo Palin in that on-on-one interview, also.

Palin never saw that one coming, probably considering Katie a "softball" interviewer.

14. yes, sometimes the simplest, most direct approach is the most insightful

Katie C. excelled at this in both the Palin interview and the writing in the OP.

She cut through all the BS.

I hope for more like this from Katie.

10. Wow, That's Awesome

11. knr! nt

[Honeycombe8]

12. Kudos to common sense Couric!!! (I hope she's prepared for the death threats...

that she will no doubt get!)

[sunnybrook]

13. Which unfortunately just proves her point

What kind of loose cannon are you dealing with when you tell someone, "let's try to calm down" and that sends them into fits of uncontrollable rage?

[spooky3]

15. when the facts aren't on their side, they bully, threaten, and worse

Katie Maddow and Rachel Maddow are showing their mettle.

[onehandle]

16. She became a journalist for just over a minute.

Keep it up, Ms. Couric.
