Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Interesting that this has been edited from the original BBC version I watched.

Katie Couric = Kate Adie
American Idol = X Factor

They have obviously dubbed this version to be more understandable to an American audience. That kind of pandering to American tastes displeases me.

Marxist-leftist weenies bend over backwards apologizing to and for, say, Saddam, the 9-11 terrorists and "I'm-a-Dinner-Jacket", the imam-punk'd 'President' of Iran, for these poor souls are/were merely "misunderstood", and "we have no right to judge them, because all cultures are equal."

It takes Ann Coulter, a 100-lb Christian White Woman, whose greatest "crime" is having a point of view in a wussified PC-world that can no longer bear strong opinions on any subject, to evoke the kind of rabid hatred that should be reserved for the aforementioned madmen.

I stand by my original statement, which is correct. Had it been Katie Couric in the hot seat you might recognize the obvious about the no-talent schmuck host, but hey, I'm just shocked the rage even emerged, usually so well-concealed behind the elitist intelligentsian facade. Too bad it's wasted on skinny White girls and not murderous muslims.

Katie Couric is the real lame-o.

not sure what 'book' you are referencing, wumpus ... as no link was provided ... so i will have to assume that you meant michael j fox's Lucky Man: Memoir. this book was published in april 2002 ( he was diagnosed in 1991) ... the same month as this radio interview in which he states:

Well, actually, I've been erring on the side of caution--I think 'erring' is actually the right word--in that I've been medicating perhaps too much, in the sense that a lot of times the symptoms that people see in some of these interviews that have been on are actually dyskinesia, which is a reaction to the medication. Because if I were purely symptomatic with Parkinson's symptoms, a lot of times speaking is difficult. There's a kind of a cluttering of speech and it's very difficult to sit still, to sit in one place. You know, the symptoms are different, so I'd rather kind of suffer the symptoms of dyskinesia. . .this kind of weaving and this kind of continuous thing is much preferable, actually, than pure Parkinson's symptoms. So that's what I generally do.

this is almost what he says 4 years later in his interview with katie couric ... an understanding of PD and consequent side effects of medication to treat it (dyskinesia) would greatly increase someone's ability to debate this issue.

Tags changed from "lara, logan, katie, couric, cbs, afganistan, new format, ratings war" to "lara, logan, katie, couric, cbs" by gold star member James Roe.

This is what the Big 3 network newscasts need to be relevant again -- actually investigating the truth instead of just broadcasting press conferences. Lara Logan > Katie Couric
