Katie Couric’s first blog entry from Iraq is probably one of the best examples of a lack of humility mixed with ditz one could read. Then again, we are talking about a rich, liberal, irrelevant anchorwoman….

Katie: Greetings From BaghdadHere I am, my first day in Baghdad… It is overwhelming to be here and there is so much to take in.
It’s all about you, Katie. Enjoy.
I don’t think most Americans understand what the Green Zone is, and many people feel those who live and work there are so cut off from what’s happening in the rest of the city, it’s like living in a bubble. I guess that’s why the author of a recent book on the zone named it “Imperial Life in the Emerald City.” Our living conditions are hugely luxurious compared to what most Iraqis experience. We’ve taken over a house rented from a wealthy Iraqi entrepreneur; it has air conditioning, multiple televisions (which makes sense, of course), and a pretty spacious kitchen.
If most Americans don’t understand what the Green Zone is, then it means people like Couric haven’t been doing their jobs. Some of us who watch news programs other than “The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric” have a pretty good understanding.
What a waste of air fare….

As much as I don’t wish her any ill, I can’t wait to see what happens to that “Bubble” the next time a mortar or rocket attack is launched on the Green Zone.
