Katie Couric's "Great Unwashed Middle Of The Country" (Iraq, Chicago)

[LauraC]

Oh look, Katie Couric goes to Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and New Brunswick, New Jersey and says she's touring what she calls “this great unwashed middle of the country” in an effort to divine the mood of the midterms.

Hey Katie, want to do something really novel for big media? Take a stroll through suburbia and rural America. I know it's scary but if you can do Iraq, I think you might be ready for flyover country "to divine the mood for the midterms.".

But she meant that in a positive way.

Another elitist who tags the avearge American with negative and demeaning terms that conjur up the class distinctions in India where the "Great Unwashed" are the "untouchables" and looked down upon by all other segments of that society. Katie Couric needs a washing out of her mouth with lye soap.
