Katie Couric Calls Herself "Pathetic"

Katie Couric called herself "pathetic" Tuesday night at the premiere of the "Sex and the City" movie. "I go to HBO on Demand, go to Sex and the City, and I watch each episode 20 times," Couric said in an interview with Access Hollywood.

Wednesday's ratings revealed that last week was a record low week in the ratings of CBS Evening News, which Couric anchors, the third such record low this spring. Watch:

So comments that bash Couric is OK but comments that say HuffingtonPost bash women is censored?!

I love the logic of the moderators.

The word 'pathetic' is being kind to yourself. You were so enthusiastic about our invasion of a country (Iraq) that did nothing to us was over the top "Navy Seals rock" Katie. Don't worry Katie, you've gotten millions upon millions of dollars in pay while the government has bankrupted us, killed thousands upon thousands of mostly poverty stricken Iraqi's, destroyed our military and world reputation and the plethora of other other highly destructive, unconstitutional and immoral acts.

Oh, my, it really does quack like a duck. I think she's finally got it.

[peachesmahoney]

Seems as though the old "be brash and make headlines and maybe they'll watch your show" technique as perfected by Rosie O'Donnell is working for Katie. But if she flashes Little Katie while getting out of a limo or shaves her head, we'll know that her role model is someone else entirely.

I owe Katie an apology.

I've been saying that she's incapable of properly reporting even the simplest facts.

even a broken clock is right twice a day

[civillibertieslost]

Ms. Couric get's no argument from me!

[SeriousBlack]

OK kiddies, lesson #1 - Never have pictures or video taken of yourself when you're giving yourself the "Loser" sign!

[Lilliput]

Katie was misquoted in both the post title and the text. Her actual words, as anyone who plays the video will hear, were "I'm a pathetic fan." Big difference between saying that and saying "I'm pathetic." But of course the public prefers to "agree" with what she didn't say.

[LittleBrother]

I think it's more of a case of the public preferring to "agree" with what she SHOULD'VE said, since it's common knowledge.

[boinx]

being misquoted in both post title and text applies to 98% of HuffPo.

Maybe the news program would have more heft, Katie, if you didn't spend so much time watching SITC?

[repuglycon]

Katie's not perfect but she's the best there is on the networks. I watch her after KO.

[Ides]

I'm the only one who feels bad that she admitted something so harsh? (Oh, she was talking about Sex and the City. Hm.)

[StanTheManic]

The first step is admitting it, Katie ...

Peace *NOT* Apartheid,

Shame on the Israeli war mongers.

Israel deny Children Hope.

Exactly, President Carter's point.

Well, if the 'L' fits...

Strange, you don't see Brian Williams or Charlie Gibson dressing to the nines to attend movie premieres. Glitz and glam won't garner gravitas.

Of course, Dan Rather's legendary devotion to the movie "Beaches" not withstanding.

[InofTouch]

hey nothing says patheic like Brian Williams sucking up to Jon Stewart for hip-young ratings. Of course let pick on her because she not a nerd like blueskybigstar want her too be.

She is pathetic but that has nothing to do with watching Sex and the City.

[blueskybigstar]

She said that she spends most of her time watching that show.

[JamesA1102]

Still has nothing to do with why she is pathetic.
