Katie Couric in her "Katie's Couric's Notebook" makes a digusting homage to her apparent gal pal Hillary Clinton by directly comparing her campaign to become America's first female president of the United States to Sir Edmund Hillary's historic scaling of Mount Everest in 1953. The "priming" of the viewer to make a direct association between (as Couric suggests) "the two Hillarys" is simply one of the most unabashed and disgraceful infringements of journalistic (and human) ethics I have ever witnessed from our beloved MSM (not to mention stupid - Sir Edmund Hillary's expedition was not "like that other Hillary...(in that) he set out to make history" - he made history while Hillary Clinton was still three years old!). To diminish the death of Sir Edmund Hillary, scaler of Himalayan peaks, forger of tracks across Antarctic ice, navigator of the Ganges river valley, and penultimate explorer, by dubbing him "the Other Hillary" to the self-righteous, self-serving and unethical Hillary Clinton is as good as spitting on his gravesite. Couric needs to realize that she is a public figure and cannot be insulting the legacy of historic figures like Sir Edmund in their wakes with treacly tributes to our national disgrace Hillary Clinton. If she was a more professional journalist instead of an activist she would already know that. Unbelievable!
