Katie Couric is fluff. She's always been fluff. Putting on an oversized pair of intellectual glasses is NOT going to make her a serious reporter no matter how much she conned some network into paying her. I'm OK with that--the money part--but it's laughable when she believes her own hype, and she believes it to the point where she goes head to head with a serious, savvy business man or woman and expects to 'catch' that person with a gotcha question. No matter what we think of Carly Florina in her tenure at H-P, she is a savvy business woman. And to your point Rich, yes, she did indeed make Katie Couric look the fool that she is.

She does not ask where these "issues" come from. Who made Global Warming an issue? Who ensures that it remains "settled science" in spite of unsettling evidence?

We don't need clean coal. We need commitment to stop the destruction of coal plants. The one across the river from me was just blown up. Not just shut down, but completely destroyed.

Once the coal-fired electric plants are gone, with no feasible replacement, what are we going to do? Import electricity from China?

slick debater. In fact, she has not shown consistently that she is pro-innovation and anti-regulation. She could have shown some courage on this issue and said the emperor is wearing no clothes. She chose not too. So-when push comes to shove as President-would she appease popular thinking or act from conviction of truth and science?

Yes, Carly "looks" like a candidate. She is a slick, high dollar magazine with a good marketing approach. She will say anything necessary to gain power and wealth. Send her to Russia to "run" against Putin and don't let her return. Don't let her loot hollow the shell of America the way she did to HP.

Speaking reason to idiocy stumps the Libs every time! Carly has learned how not to play by their rules.
