Katie Couric's Sputum Production



She didn't like the word "sputum," so she attacked her editor.

Really.



Katie Couric allegedly slapped a "CBS Evening News" editor "over and over and over again" during a tense newsroom confrontation, according to a source quoted by New York magazine, which goes on sale Monday.

"I sort of slapped him around," Couric admitted to the magazine. "I got mad at him and said, 'You can't do this to me. You have to tell me when you're going to use a word like that.' I was aggravated, there's no question about that."

I love how her defense is that the slapping was a joke. I'd love to see a man try to pull that one.

Wow, life must really be a bitch in her multi-gazillion dollar world. Spoiled little brat. Glad I don't watch her.

Sounds like a slippery attempt to generate some publicity now that most people have forgotten about her.

This is the network's opportunity to dump her. Think they'll be smart enough to do it?

I wonder what her reaction would have been if the staffer had slapped her back, and then claimed it was a "joke."

(Actually, I would have preferred he cold-cock her...)

She slapped someone for that ??? Is that what is called poor impulse control ? Maybe Katie needs some Valium to get through her day. It must be rough to hear words like that when you're being paid 100k a minute.
