She is sickening. Where is her voice for other women around the world that are FORCED to cover up and their genitals mutilated?

I guess she thinks it is more important that the ratio of women to men is 50/50 on every room she goes into.

The liberals are truly progressive. The “downtrodden” like Katie, always demand and get progressively more than what they offer.

Heh, calling Voltaire again – do I want to be me (work hard, think, sacrifice and suffer sometimes, and not blame others, including society), or do I want to be ignorant, naive, idealistic, accusatory and blissful all the time?

I think that she may have suddenly found that it’s not so good to stick your head through the glass ceiling when your really not up to it (golf anyone). And pulling it back down might hurt… just a bit.

Gosh, I was at a baby shower recently and you know what? There were NO men there, at all, not a one.

Clearly we have a long way to go in this area.

Ahhhh the sweet catch 22 of afirmative action…..if you can’t make it on merit you can always resort to the minority/victim card.

I don’t think for a minute that the “waxed” comment was not picked up by just me…c’mon guys, is it too early in the morning or what.

The last bit of good reporting from her was when I took her “Colonic tour.” Having a clean large bowel is almost certainly the best “reporting” she will ever do.

Katie is such an idiot. Only lapdog supporters are more idiotic than she.

She probably sat there at the table and asked “where in the world is Matt?”

Except for Hume, none of them are journalist, they are opinionators(?), meaning that they know how to run the country and the war better than the President.

As for Katie, she obviously doesn’t watch Fox News, where the women are abundant and very, very competent. E.D. Hill, for example is an author. What has Katie authored other than a whining blog.

The fact of the matter is she doesn’t “deserve” to be at the same table with real journalists.

Yeah, but in all fairness, most of the people she named don’t either.

So, is there a reason that Katie can’t go out and buy a pair of pants? Maybe Bob Schieffer could loan her a pair…or is that where she got the skirt?

Oh, and by the way, it’s not like I know much about Rwanda. I just had the common sense to think that maybe holding it up as a shining example might not work out so well.

That and 30 seconds of Googling will buy you a clue. Or at least it should.

“They watched helplessly as their husbands, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, friends and even children were cut down with machetes. After the genocide, Rwandan women picked up the pieces of their broken lives and their broken country and began to rebuild. Women have played a pivotal role in reconstructing Rwanda since Hutu extremists slaughtered 800,000 people in 1994. They have been prominent in and outside the government, and recently were elected to fill nearly half the seats in the lower house of Parliament. Their leadership has been critical to the continuing recovery of a nation that lost one-tenth of its population in about 100 days, according to international peace experts.”

From here.

Stupid f***ing moron. Only part of Rwanda that concerns her is the part that makes it sound like we would do well to be more like them.

She is the anti-news. Takes a horrific story and makes it only about her.

I wonder why she was worrying about her skirt. Was she insecure about whether she was under/over-dressed?

Instead of her dress, she should have been wondering why she was the only idiot in the room, when 50% of the population is below average intelligence. “Don’t more morons deserve a place at the table too?”

If she didn’t wear a skirt she would not have been there.

As soon as feminists like Katie learn it’s about what’s between your ears and not your legs, they will make all the advancements in the world. Poor Katie, all that perkiness and still no respect. Try a little common sense and intellect Katie….it may not be too late…..

Sometimes I wish Katie Couric was born in Saudi Arabia, where she wouldn’t even be allowed to speak.

But of the people at the table, the “principals” in the meeting, I was the only one wearing a skirt.

Well it’s not like at least a couple of those guys don’t wear skirts under their trousers. :P

Yes the feminist movement did do something for women: "51% of Women Are Now Living Without a Spouse,"

Hmmm. What an interesting comment. So Katie is noting that the major news media has not integrated women into its top positions. Isn’t it odd that organizations run by lefties don’t follow the equal opportunity line they castigate others for? Why would lefty news organizations lag behind, say, conservative organizations such as business or the military who have long ago catapulted women to top positions.

While you’re chewing on that, why did it take lefty Hollywood so long to hand out Oscars to black actors? It was thirty years before three black actors were nominated for leading role Oscars in 2002: Halle Berry for Monster’s Ball; Denzel Washington for Training Day; Will Smith in Ali. Hollywood celebrated it as a big breakthrough but why did all those lefties in Hollywood trail America’s racial breakthrough by so many years?

In short, why don’t lefty organizations eat their own dog food?

Hope comrade Katie enjoyed being the only female because if her ratings continue the current pace she will not be there next year.
