After 20 or so primary debates, you might have thought that li'l Katie Couric, anchor of the CBS Evening News, would get a chance to moderate one, but you'd be wrong. Practically every other telegenic person in broadcasting has but Katie. There are a bunch of justifications, like CBS News is cheap, CBS News writers' labor dispute, and scheduling conflicts. But these are just excuses. The real reason is that if Katie Couric ever hosted a DNC debate, there would be two vags on stage too many. (Campbell Brown doesn't count as a girl, since she's a real DC journalist, as evidenced by her requisite interest-conflicty marriage to a political operative.) [NYO]

The picture is giving off a really creepy "Black Hole Sun" vibe. Is it unphotoshopped?
Katie, Hillary, and Barry -- ain't that 3 vags too many?
Why are they even having more debates? There's nothing left to debate about. Would my cat look better with feathered hair, or should he just let it dry naturally after adding a little gel? Oh yeah, and the dollar's tanking.
Was there a debate on after school snacks? Damn, I would have wanted to see how peanut butter crackers held up. That chocolate chip cookie can be a real bitch.
@PeenScene: No, it's just two.
We all know Hillary has had a set of balls in her pocket since around 1998.
@Ha Ha Sound: using little product is always the better choice
@Furious George: Totally! You nailed it.
@PimpMyCouch: After seeing that picture, I just watched the video on YouTube for the first time in years. Wow. It is every bit as creepy as I remembered it was!
Also, Campbell Brown totally counts as a girl when she's riding my face.
@PimpMyCouch: not so sure -- we're discussing her pink hole here, not her black hole.
Is the plural of "vag" "vags"? If you don't mind while I "type out loud" for a second, I'm going to try some alternatives: vages, vagz, vagez, vagis. Yep, vags.
@lawyergay: that's so vagisilly!
@lawyergay: I would opt for the vagi, as in, "The Gifts of the Vagi"
Why not "vulve"? Too insidery?
I think this has a lot more to do with her being an irrelevant non-journalist who is killing one of the most historic positions in Journalism. Murrow sat in your chair - try to remember the greatness of those you follow before introducting another worthless "human interest" turdcast.
Too mean?
Fun fact: the scientific/medical plural for "penis" is "penes!"
@rosaluxembourgeoise: Doh, even a mo like me knows the vag is inside, vulve outside. Now "cerv" might be too insidery.
@Furious George: It totally is a creepy video. The melting ice cream gets me every time. "Stop it! It's going to be sticky!"
Also - I prefer to use "penii" as the plural for penis. More fun to say.
@nowmedusa: the majority of school foods are nut-free due to peanut allergies common in children.
now re: the vah-jay-jays, wouldn't we be a kinder, gentler nation if everyone had one. the majority of men tend often to exhibit symptoms of PMS (think the world's wars, Karl Rove v. Democrats, or even MTV's Jackass), while a minority of pere-menapausal women go ballistic each month, if that. sure, you see a major catfight every now and then (a Filene's bridal sale for example, but at a low $99 can you blame 'em?), but "mano a mano"(sp?)is not the female way of life. as far as katie not getting close to the debates, it is and always has been a boy's club, a testosterone-driven nation, a man's world, for the most part. not even indira ghandi, margaret thatcher, or Oprah have changed that.
@PeenScene:
Thanks for the fact-check. Cervixey!
Also: doh.
@rosaluxembourgeoise: No prob. Mom was all passed out and didn't notice the quick gyno exam I gave her, just so I could bring you the truth. doh.
Katie hosting a DNC debate would be like Katie on 60 minutes the other month, where I can only hope her questions were borrowed from The View.
"So Hillary, do you *like* Barack?"*
"What were YOU like in high school, Hillary?"*
*denotes actual questions
@ADismalScience:
If by "mean", we're to understand "woefully overestimating her ability to grasp the importance of your plea", then yes. Way too mean.
