Confirming her membership in Manhattan’s liberal elite, Katie Couric boasted on Tuesday’s Late Show that she plans to follow Tom Friedman’s admonition, that in refusing to move away from oil “we have met the enemy and he is us,” and so she’s realized she “should” buy a Toyota Prius, the favorite of conspicuously superior liberals, or at least a hyprid. Couric recounted how her daughter told her “‘we should turn in the car we have’ and ‘get a Prius or a hybrid.’ And I said, ‘you know, Ellie, we should do that.’ And we’re going to look into it.”

Why stop with a hybrid? I look forward to Couric’s personal plan to cut her energy use by 25 percent. i.e., public transportation to the CBS studio, setting her thermostat at 80 degrees, no more private jet travel, cutting down on the number of homes she owns, etc.

Any moron can buy a hybrid, if they have the money for the extra cost. If you really believe in what Freidman says, then act, don’t pretend.
