7-10-07 The Sputum Report

I don't have a link to the Drudge Report, and the only time I end up on that site is when someone else blogs a link. In most cases, I end up taking whatever's on there with a grain of salt.

In this case, though, it's just too funny.

Katie Couric, according to this report, was given a script for a report on tuberculosis that included the word "sputum" (the definition of which is here for those of you who need to know), and got very upset at not being told when she's given a "word like that" in the script.

Before hearing about this incident, I had never watched Katie Couric doing the news. But now that I know she's a functional illiterate, ...nothing has changed.
