Rosie, Cleveland I met Katie when I visited New York one weekend. I met Al Roker, too. Katie Couric was kind and gracious, not at all how I expected a multi-millionaire television star to be. She listened to me and answered my questions, then she said she was busy and had to go to a meeting. She wished me well and signed a book for me. I love her.
Gordon, Portland I met Katie during a fundraiser for colon cancer awareness. She was knowledgeable and passionate. She dressed appropriately for the occasion but was sexy in an understated way. She is a very classy lady.
Millie, Burlington I met Katie at the summer Olympics. She was wearing a tight dress and pretty sandals. She looked great. I can understand why my husband loves her.
Griffin, Topeka I met Katie Couric when I took my family to New York. We hung around outside the studio like you see people do on tv. During a break, Katie chatted with us but she seemed pretty stressed out. She looked great, better in real life than on television.
John, Chicago I met Katie Couric in Chicago. I was surprised how small she is. She can't be more than 5 ft 3 inches, maybe less. She was immaculately dressed with beautiful make-up. I remember her as very enthusiastic and energetic.
Phyllis, New York I have met Katie Couric twice. She is a beautiful woman who looks after her body. She is gracious and patient with her fans, but I hear she can be pretty nasty with members of staff she doesn't like. I heard she had quite a few bust-ups with Matt Lauer over the years.
Fred, Newark Yeah, I've met Katie Couric. No big deal. She's a good looking woman but a bit short for my tastes. Her legs are great but they aren't as long in real life as they are on television, if you see what I mean.
Barbara, Nashville Katie Couric, you are a disgrace, worse than Charlie Gibson. Why won't you so-called journalists stop playing the gotcha game
with honest conservatives. Go back to college and learn about integrity in jounalism.
Soledad, Laredo When is that liberal, extremist Katie Couric's reign of leftish terror going to end? I will be so pleased to see her gone. Her disgusting snobbery and elitism when she interviews conservatives makes me sick. When she smiles and shows her fuscia gums and her crooked nose and asymmetrical face becomes even more distorted, I feel as if I want to puke.
Bonnie, Memphis Katie Couric, you are a disgrace to good journalism. Your gotcha
attitude to conservatives is disgusting! I prefer journalists either to be unbiased or conservative, that's because most Americans are mainstream conservative. They are not liberal like Couric and Obama.
Joy, Midland, Texas Couric is a liberal elitist who hates honest, hard-wroking Americans. She is interested in one thing: promoting herself. People like Couric are removed from the mainstream and cannot relate to folks on Main Street.
Marianne, St. Louis Katie is a millionaire biased non-professional. Whether you are right, left, or in between, you have to hate her. I used to like Katie very much, but I have lost all respect for her after she ended Sarah Palin's campaign to be vice-president. Even the loser-channel NBC dumped Couric's backside.
Des, Iowa City Here's the facts: Katie Couric's profound arrogance and subtle self-aggrandizement to promote her own career have nothing to do with good journalism. And I don't think her legs are all that great.
Jackie, Davenport, Iowa Katie needs to take care of her own messed-up career and leave conservatives alone.
Rev. Jim, Naperville Katie, God hates you. You are such a liberal democrat ,no wonder you are such a failure in your career. God is not on your side. He will bring you down. No wonder so many people are watching FOX tv. I think most of the east coast and west coast people are like you, ready to tear the country to pieces.
Molly, Gulfport Katie Couric, the only reason you succeed in a man's world is because you wear short dresses and flash your legs. You need to grow up, woman! You're not 21 anymore. You're over 50 and you look it.
Wanda, Athens, Georgia Katie Couric, I bet you don't even believe in God. You worship money and yourself. All you liberals are the same. Just like Hollywood and Sean Penn and Brad Pitt and those liberal losers who want to tax us to death while they enjoy their millionaire lifestyles.
Johnson, Atlanta Katie Couric, I have always liked you as a reporter. I wish you no harm, but I think your career is over. You are so unfair to conservatives and soft on liberals. You are not impartial, which a journalist should be.
Cox, Beaufort Katie, you are overpaid and overplayed. Bye, bye.
Janie, Philadelphia If you don't know the word of God and do not have a personal relationship with Him, you will not have His wisdom. This lack of wisdom shows why liberals like Katie Couric should be banned from interviewing conservatives and born-again Christians.
Pat, Jackson Have you noticed? Men love Katie Couric and women hate her. Who watches Couric any more anyway? Talk about a dinosaur. She is on the verge of extinction.
Anita, Stowe Katie Couric is a highly intelligent woman and certainly does a wonderful job. She has always been a great interviewer and should be given more tough political assignments. Whenever she is on I make a point of watching her show.
Al, Phoenix Katie Couric is the best. No one will ever beat her style or intellect, beauty, or class.
Jan, Rochester Who watches Katie's kids when she is on her assignments all over the world? How can she be a good mother and be away so much? Is she using her GREAT LEGS to get ahead ? She likes to pose sitting on her desk top. Not cool.
Sam, Salt Lake City Katie you are a disgrace. You are going to Hell for your liberal anti-God words and deeds.
Vera, Paris I saw Katie Couric on television when I was in America. She is very sexy for an American woman. Most American women are prudes, afraid of sex and ashamed of their bodies. Katie Couric is obviously proud of her figure, especially her legs. Good luck to her!
Corie, Norwood, Ohio I love how Katie Couric looks. She's great for her age. Her legs are truly amazing, especially when they're glistening. But her views are same old, same old
liberal nonsense. I prefer Ann Coulter's looks and views.
Frida, Blytheville Katie Couric is a stuck-up liberal with so many millions in the bank she has lost touch with reality. She must be one of the few people who has gotten richer during the economic crisis that her buddy Barack Obama has caused.
Felicity, Eureka Just love Katie Couric for the way she takes down conservatives. She's a great looking woman, too. She's a fine representative of how great a woman can look at 50.
Andrew, Boston I met Katie in New York, just like a lot of people. I'm not one of the Katie groupies who think she's the hottest woman on earth, but she's hot enough. I'd marry her any day of the week, and I say that as a happily married man.
