The 60 Minutes profile of Alex Rodriguez was just absolutely laughable.
The most challenging question: Are you worth [more than $300 million]?
Really, Katie Couric? Really?
What I would ask A-Rod:
- Tell me about what it’s like in the locker room, with you, Jeter, Damon, and these superstar players. What is the spirit there?
- Does Steinbrenner scare you? Awe you?
- How did you feel when Joe Torre announced his departure?
- How important is sportsmanship in the playing of the game (mentioning, of course, the slap and the Toronto psych-out)?
- How does it feel to watch other teams celebrating World Series titles?
Among others. Many, many others.
I can see her exclusive with Billy B. at the end of the Pats season.
Did it hurt your feelings to hear people call you a cheater?
ugh – she’s irritating. just one more reason why you’re 10 times the ‘journalist’ than she is…
(is she a journalist? television personality? news anchor?)
Former Today Show co-anchor. That’s it. I wasn’t crazy about her taking over CBS Evening News, but I was willing to see how it would take.
But she is obnoxious. Uninspired. And she – and I note: she’s not alone in national television news here – wimps out when it comes to the big questions.
AURGH!
