'Some people' are saying that Katie Couric went too far on 60 Minutes. I don't actually know who those people are, because I haven't done any reporting on it. Why bother? 'Some people' must be saying it. 'Some people' will say anything. And there's no real need to mention their names, because I can just say that 'some people' are saying it and get away with it.
Last night on 60 Minutes, Katie Couric kept referring to 'Some people.' She said that 'some' were saying the Edwardses were courageous, and 'others' were saying they were callous and ambitious. She said that some people were wondering how someone could be president if he was 'distracted' by his wife's health. ...
I kept waiting for John or Elizabeth Edwards to ask her who "some people" were exactly, but they didn't. They cheerfully answered her questions. Elizabeth Edwards said, "We're all going to die." And: "I pretty much know what I'm going to die of now." She said that on hearing that her cancer had recurred, she realized she had a choice -- to go on living her life, or begin dying. She said she had chosen to go on living her life. Katie Couric looked at her as if someone had set off a stinkbomb in the room and then asked another "some people" question, this one about whether the Edwardses were "in denial."
Is there more to be said?
