Katie Couric Insults Half the Country Again

Former Today Show host Katie Couric kicked over a hornet’s nest when she appeared on Bill Maher’s show and insulted the intelligence of at least half the country. She blamed their support of Trump on “class resentment,” “anti-intellectualism and elitism,” adding, “I mean globalization and the transition from an industrial to a technological society — I don’t know if you’ve ever been jealous of someone else or resentful — It is such a corroding and bitter almost bile feeling.”

A lot of us felt the bile rising listening to that stunningly arrogant flapdoodle. I think Brandon Morse at RedState.com had a good response to it.

Greg Gutfeld, who is hardly what you’d call a stupid person, also roasted Couric, quipping that this shows why televising her colonoscopy was the highlight of her journalism career.

But unlike Katie, I don’t like ascribing the worst motives to people whose politics I disagree with. I may just be a simple, Trump-votin’ hillbilly, but I reckons that maybe I oughta take the high road. I will assume that she’s not stupid, just ignorant. And as Will Rogers said, “Everybody’s ignorant, just on different subjects.” Unfortunately, Katie happens to be completely ignorant of the thoughts, lives and concerns of tens of millions of people who are supposedly her audience.
