Katie Couric, The Audio

Listen for yourself to the spectacle of Katie Couric on 60 Minutes peppering John and Elizabeth Edwards with essentially the same question over and over, with only slight variations. The Edwards' answers have been removed. Only Katie's questions remain.

Note the constant reference to "some people" and "some" and "they", without a single citation of anyone other than Katie and her producers who have such questions or disagreements with the Edwards' very personal choice at this awful time in their lives.

In review, it is enormously mature of the Edwards to not to have reached across the table and smacked Ms. Couric. This is nothing more than a desperate clawing at straws by a celebrity whose ratings are taking a dive.
