Even Worse For The Right Wing, She Said Constitution Gives Us A Right To Privacy
This is a real "no-no" for the right wing. They can tolerate her not knowing a single Supreme Court case to talk about, but she said the Constitution guarantees us a right to privacy.

She didn't even catch Katie's sarcastic remark that the "right to privacy" is the foundation for Roe vs. Wade. LOL!

Yep yep, where dealing with a lightweight here. You betcha.

2. I guess she supports Griswold v. Connecticut then
That was the case that made Roe v. Wade possible.

3. Out. Of. Her. League.
It's as simple as it is undeniable.

The woman is in way over her head, and McCain knows it.

4. That's the right wing for you:
Government has no business in your life. We demand our privacy. People need to be free to make their own choices. UNLESS you want an abortion, or we decide we need to "protect" you from terrorism.

Then it's all different.

6. The brilliance of Katie Couric's style is that she remained warm, caring, and maternal throughout...
Honest to gods I don't know how she kept a straight face, but she just helped Ms Sarah dig herself in deeper and deeper into her pit of abysmal ignorance. The results have been revealed bit by bit over a period of days, each piece more devastating than the last.

Katie is miscast as a national news anchor, but in THIS she excels.

8. Oh, dear. This is not good. The Right doesn't think we have a right to privacy.

9. Of course not. They've been arguing for years that there is no such
right in the Constitution because the Constitution does not specifically say it.

10. Silly of them. The Constitution doesn't say that we have the right not have the clothes ripped off
our backs, too.

12. You say that's what it stands for, but by words alone the Constitution doesn't say that.
