Who's Blogging  |
Fairchild, a Democratic activist, praises Clinton's speech, and before long Couric asks what she is doing for fun in Denver.
"What are you doing, honey?" Fairchild asks. "Let's hit the town."
Soon Couric is chatting up two pro wrestlers, the muscle-bound Batista and the slim Candice Michelle, who is wearing the scantiest of shorts. They are pushing a registration drive called "Smackdown Your Vote."
"This is a crazy question, but you're, like, so beautiful," Couric tells Michelle. "You don't look that strong, no offense."
"She's tough," Batista insists.
What was supposed to be a half-hour online show runs 40 minutes, but no one seems to care.
As a tired-looking Couric makes her way off the floor, she is repeatedly accosted. A Dutch radio reporter sticks a mike in her face and asks if she has advice for Obama. Another man says, "Katie, you are so pretty in person," before bending her ear about how he is a former prison inmate who has started a program for ex-offenders. Then there is the man who slipped her a business card for a company that makes stools in the shape of horses' rear ends.
"Maybe we'll have him on tomorrow's Webcast," Couric tells her team.
