it wasnt just the couric video, its countless interviews where spews words endlessly while saying nothing- best example is charles gibson interview
shes a self made millionaire in the same sense as the lady who sued mcdonalds for hot coffee on her lap or the floosies who got millions from larry flynt..she was tool for the rep. party and capitalized on it because of her looks not her achievements. republicans needed a fresh look to offset the stiff mccain.

knocking her for taking the money would be foolish but lets not pretend she went out and built anything from the ground up.
she had an opportunity to be a serious candidate for president by stepping out of the limelight for a couple years and educate & seriously prepare herself to run. she chose to be a media talking head. that in itself says she knew she didnt have what it took to be a candidate.
