Note to Katie Couric are you going to interview Tony Snow too?

::::::::

Will you ask him the same questions? Are “some people saying” that he should resign now and spend his remaining time with his family? He’s got children too, Katie. How will your questions be different? Those who have complained that your anchor position was too much for you to handle and those who complained that you were being unfairly targeted both need to reevaluate your performance. If you want to conduct interviews on sensitive subjects and play hardball, fine, but do it with grace not judgmental questions. If you want to overcome prejudices about women in powerful positions, look in the mirror at your own performance and ask how your questions demonstrated the professionalism needed to overcome those critics. It didn’t. You don’t measure up.

You have neither satisfied your critics nor given those who supported you any reason to continue to do so. You would think that having personal experience that is analogous to the Edwards' would give you insight into their issues. But instead of empathy and insight, you offered criticism and judgment. The hypocrisy is stunning. Is this your way of satisfying the Rush Limbaughs who make policial fodder of your interview, accusing the Edwards' of substituting politics for religion? Is that what you did? Was your career your "religion" as Rush likes to say?
