Appearing on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe,' Disgraced former CBS producer Mary Mapes said she is “uncomfortable” watching Katie Couric anchor the network's evening news. Mapes came to this conclusion not because she is a woman as Katie would like you to believe, instead because she looks “drugged” and “kidnapped.” Video available here
.Partial transcript:
Mapes on Couric: She is "...someone who looks like they've been kidnapped and drugged and are making a hostage tape. It has nothing to do with her being a male or female, it's just not comfortable to watch."

July 16, 2007 - 18:29 ET by stratmanNevermind the excuses Mapes gives for Couric's abysmal performance.
I would have to be drugged and kidnapped to watch Couric.
Someone "earning" a sixty million dollar paycheck deserves little sympathy for imploding because they were a failure. Buck up Katie. (pun intended)

Of course actually, Mapes must be quite pleased with the material that Couric is delivering to the gullible.

July 16, 2007 - 18:49 ET by Mica the MagnificentI remember Imus describing Dan Rather as having that 'deer in the headlights' look while the anchor at CBS.
Maybe there's something about CBS news that sucks the soul out of their eyes.
"I heard a rumor about Mary Mapes. It will destroy her. I think I'll type it up on old stationery, using a 1970's typewriter. I'll broadcast it on my news show and swear to it and stand by it. He-he-he-he." - - There's something about Mary Katie wants to share.

July 16, 2007 - 19:07 ET by drillanwrBut wait ... Hold the phone.
Anyone else wondering about all of this "Katie sucks" propaganda?
First Dan Rathernot and now Mapes ... and all the exposure to the whole CBS second guessing and the failing ratings ... Think this is an orchestrated effort by the master crafters of CBS to portray Katie as the threatened victim (of cancellation) and folks will tune in to watch her out of pity?
(I mean we're all contemplating the whole CNN/Michael Moore fake falling out)
Who cares.
