Correct me if I'm wrong-but isn't that the same left-wing talking head that lied to cover for Obama when moderating the 2012 debates?

Another dumb remark from a host who think they know it all!

Btw I didn't fell offended but laughed at her arrogance and stupidity.

This again shows, not to listen to advise from TV/Hollywood celebrities!

Could care less about her but for those that got butt hurt over her comments... toughen up buttercups. It's obvious she meant no disrespect by making them. Apparently the Dutch have a fair amount of snowflakes living in their country like we do here.

You might want to translate that to Dutch. I don't think anyone in this country is "butt hurt" over her comments. We're just in awe at her ignorance... I understand that shouldn't be a surprise given that she's employed by NBC. About the time Chuck Todd convinces me he's the biggest idiot on a network news program, Katie goes "Hold my beer".

She's a talking head, we shouldn't be surprised or in awe.

Katie Couric is yet another FAR LEFT, radical feminist that is common in the Media. Plus, she's just not very bright, and as she ages, people are less likely to watch her. Perkiness only goes so far.

while I appreciate your sentiment, courtesy and decorum are not priorities for "high profile people". crudeness, rudeness, and outright hostility dominate our celebrity and political landscape and we, the people, have allowed it. hell, many americans demand it. shameful behavior, I agree, but don't feign shock. offensive is 'in'.
No, she meant the current moron in the WH, trump. You know, the tv celebrity that you so disdain.

Not very bright? You mean like when she asked Palin a very simple question about what she reads that helps shape her world view & the little twit couldn't even answer? Yeah, real bright that Palin. Couric is a genius compared with most cons.

Conservatives hate political correctness, but will use it as a weapon if someone like Couric slips up once. These are the same people who would defend one of their politicians 1000 times, saying it is a mis-speak.

There is no story here. Katie said something modestly stupid, and she even responded with a sense of humor (skating on thin ice).

I'm sure there are many "fine people" who skate to work in Amsterdam.

I actually like her -- maybe because she makes goofy mistakes. She probably read the Golden Book on Amsterdam as a kid and ran with it. Everybody knows the Dutch skate everywhere. The reactions were hilarious....they swim to work in the summer. She has been around for decades and I'm surprised that this is her first visit to South Korea.
