Professional
I read this story today about Katie Couric and Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and I loved it.
You know: the point here is not that somehow someone outsmarted Katie Couric. She's a bright and ambitious lady, and we should respect her. The point of this story is that CBS and Ms. Couric expected this guy to be an ignorant shlub. Somehow, they expected him to care what public opinion says about him.
This is a guy who publicly denies the existence of the Holocaust, and is trying to gain a place at the Nuclear weapons table.
She's lucky he didn't pull out a cane and beat her for dressing like that in public in defiance of Sharia Law.
He's the enemy, Katie: not a misunderstood and ignorant dupe.
