We all skate

The rush hour in the Netherlands was a classic

The tweets in this article were hilarious.

I heard what she said in the ceremony and thought it was odd. But figured it must be true. Surely she wouldn't make that up. But she did.

Speed skate in the winter, cycling in the summer.

Then again have you seen that many morbidly obese Dutch?

About the only one that could do better are the Norwegian cross-country skiers (supposedly that's the best exercise you can do, so we need to start a chain of artificial snow cross-country ski tracks in the South so we can kick the bad health habits there).

It’s refreshing to see that whore get called out for shoddy journalism.

She’s terrible.

I forgive her. They have gotten so used to making up shite that they occasionally forget they are only supposed to make shite up about Trump.

I was just listening to Adam Curry (who's Dutch) rip her for this. Hilarious. Fake News.

To be fair, Katie is typically allowed to spew complete bullshite and not be called out on it. This is business as usual for her so she doesn't really know any better.

"As you all know, it has lots of canals that can freeze in the winter," Couric said, "so for as long as those canals have existed, the Dutch have skated on them to get from place to place, to race each other and also to have fun."

Yes, a few of us skate to work the 5 days we have ice (on average) The other 360 days we either stay home, or sometimes use bikes or cars or trains to get to work

I had to put up with her when she hosted an event for the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship. Not only did she get coked up with Brandon Tartikoff's widow, she was a total count to everyone all night.

She's a perfect example of an airhead who thinks she's a genius.

Everyone knows the Atlanta loop is the main reason Southerners are so good at NASCAR.

Pic in article looks like she's laid off of the nose candy and laid on the pork rinds.

NBC’s coverage of the Olympics has been awful and humiliating.

Jesus, "Fake News" would be a compliment at this point. At least then they could say they were doing it on purpose.

This was also in the article. What next? Korean women are very welcoming, learning those lessons from the Japanese, too?

quote:

Couric's comment was not the only misstep in NBC's opening ceremony coverage. The network apologized over the weekend for analyst Joshua Cooper Ramo's on-air remark that "every Korean will tell you that Japan is a cultural and technical and economic example that has been so important to their own transformation." Japan occupied Korea for four decades. NBC later fired Ramo.

And holy frick did another NBC guy say that Korea looks to Japan as an example

These people think they are educated and look down their nose at the rest of the nation but your average Army private knows that Koreans aren't big fans of the Japanese

No kidding. Want to see North and South get on the same page? Tell them Japan is rearming.

But, remember, we are the uneducated ones.
