Jeers: Couric Drops the Ball with Clinton

Hillary Clinton courtesy CBS

Jeers to Katie Couric for her puffy interview with Hillary Clinton on 60 Minutes. Some critics suggest (to use one of Couric's favorite phrases) the CBS Evening News anchor lacks gravitas, and she certainly didn't prove them wrong with such featherweight questions as "Do you like Barack Obama?" and "Someone told me your nickname in school was 'Miss Frigidaire' - is that true?" ("Only with some boys" was Clinton's deft response.) And Couric's how-do-you-do-it-all softballs seemed more suited to an early-morning infotainment show than a prime-time newsmagazine. Clinton's secrets to staying healthy? She sanitizes her hands with Purel, drinks lots of water and eats plenty of hot peppers. Come back, Dan Rather - all is forgiven!
