Perky and Dumb Katie Couric describes being the only woman in the room in a big pow-wow of her peers who are powerful and important like she is but all have penises. As I was looking at my colleagues around the room—Charlie Gibson, George Stephanopoulos, Brian Williams, Tim Russert, Bob Schieffer, Wolf Blitzer, and Brit Hume—I couldn’t help but notice, despite how far we’ve come, that I was still the only woman there. Well, there was some female support staff near the door. But of the people at the table, the “principals” in the meeting, I was the only one wearing a skirt. Everyone was gracious, though the jocular atmosphere was palpable.Does she mean to say that it was jock-tastic? That there were embarrassing, visible jockstrap lines? There is no suggestion of masculinity, sports, testosterone, or anything similar implied by the word jocular. Jocular is from the Latin joculus diminutive of jocus, joke. A little joke, indeed, that the spokeswoman doesn't speak so well. And she's head of their night news division where the choice or words is (or should be) as important as their delivery? |
