Perky news reader Katie Couric took time out from destroying what's left of the CBS news organization to complain that women aren't given more cushy positions in politics and corporate America..."The feminist movement that began in the 1970’s helped women make tremendous strides—but there still haven’t been enough great leaps for womankind. Fifty-one percent of America is female, but women make up only about sixteen percent of Congress—which, as the Washington Monthly recently pointed out, is better than it’s ever been...but still not as good as parliaments in Rwanda (forty-nine percent women) or Sweden (forty-seven percent women). Only nine Fortune 500 companies have women as CEO’s.
That meeting was a reality check for me—and not just about Iraq. It was a reminder that all of us still have an obligation to ask: Don’t more women deserve a place at the table too?"
Katie probably has no idea how far statements like that retard the advancement of women in the market place. Is she seriously suggesting that women should be elected, or promoted to CEO just because we need more women in places of leadership? Evidently, since she mentioned that women comprise 51% of the population, a gender quota should be applied to Congress and all Fortune 500 companies. Should there also be a race quota? How about a handicapped quota? Gays are probably underrepresented in corporate leadership positions...how about a sexual orientation quota? (Representative Barney Frank is so flamboyantly gay that Congress doesn't need any more gays to meet Katie's quota)
Katie seems to think that positions of power and influence should be doled out based on perceived fairness, rather than earned based on hard work, ability, and objectively proven results.
How insulted would Katie be if CBS admitted that they chose her as news anchor because in the interest of fairness they wanted to rectify the problem of the scarcity of women reading the evening news? Katie would swear that she was hired because she earned it as a serious professional journalist with a proven track record in the news industry(an arguable point). Why shouldn't all people be promoted or elected because they earned it and are deserving of it? Preferential treatment because of gender, race, or orientation is blatantly discriminatory. Katie knows better, but as a liberal she can't help regurgitating gender equality dogma.
Katie thinks that women should be given positions they didn't earn. Of course she would be exempt from this because she earned her position.

Katie would not be the news anchor of this Major(that is an assumption) news source if were not for her Good Looks. As a journalist, she ranks right there with Clark Kent - nowhere. She oozes a sexuality vibe that makes her attractive to both sexes. She, above all people should have kept her pie hole shut on this issue.
CBS exec's need to rein her in and tell her to keep those lips zipped. Read the teleprompter on cue, and otherwise avoid any camera and especially all reporters.

Women deserve nothing, as a species, just because they are women. Men get nothing because they are men. They get it by working hard and climbing various corporate ladders, etc. Typically, men are more willing to toil through the morass to get to a success spot, whereas, females expect shortcuts to be created for them (by the same men who worked to get there). Laughable at best.
Her is the new plan. Half of all companies are to become women run. Now lets assume that my little company is selected in that group. My female replacement is not going to want to pay me the money the company is worth, she justs wants me to give it to her. Assuming that I have a brain freeze and agree to this lunacidal transfer, she takes over this company and within 1 year it is closed. My customers buy from me. They do not purchase goods because of the company name, they shop with me!!! I take care of them as only I know how, through years of practice, failure, triumphs, siccesses, losses and gains. How is this female expected to do this. Idiotic! Now she is out if an executive position and all of my employees are job hunting as well. The percentages are again skewed and something must be adjusted to right the scales.
I am all for women succeeding in business and in the corporate world. I am also for them spending the same time and effort that everyone else does. This mentality will go for any minority complaints as well. Rewards come to those willing to serve others and that aren't afraid to get dirty.

I am now more than ever convinced that certain women should be hunted, because it is obvious that they are of no other use to the men of the world. Shoot them, perky legs and all.
All hate mail from women should be directed to BobbyT.

Hey Bob, What kinda burr you got in your saddle? In a year where we may see a somewhat viable woman presidential candidate, a liberal-female-speaker-of-the house, and a well polished charismatic minority female Seceratary of State, why the cutting on women bro? You need to remeber that behind every man is a good woman. We need them. Hush or you will ruin it for the rst of us.
BobbyT must be fairly confident that his wife doesn't read comments on internet blogs.
lower case bobbyt probably doesn't care, as long as she keeps her place! That's my guess.
"as long as she keeps her place!"
I think that qualifies as dangerously insensitive comment #4.
For bobbyt's sake, I hope his wife doesn't read TRR.
sounds like BobbyT's wife is probably barefoot, pregnant, and isn't allowed time to read for all the washing, cleaning, cooking, shopping, yard work, car repair, and child rearing she has to do while BobbyT surfs the web for porn.
