NBC’s Katie Couric offered up a fawning tribute to Pennsylvania’s
liberal Republican Senator Arlen Specter, whom Couric termed a “moderate,”
on Friday’s Today show. After touting Specter, who is currently undergoing
treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, as a “feisty” and “firm” Senator with a
“razor sharp mind,” Couric delivered loaded questions that presented
conservatives as the main cause of acrimony on Capitol Hill. She asked
Specter: “Do you believe the religious right has too much influence on the
Republican Party at this point?” Couric also singled out Republicans and
their proposal to end the blocking of judicial nominees with filibuster,
not Democrats who changed 200 years of tradition, as the culprits for
souring the public: “If the nuclear option is played out, don’t you think
voters are going to be disgusted with all politicians and say come on, get
out of the sandbox?”
