 Katie Couric: Makes dig at Sarah Palin
On Monday Katie Couric poked fun at her "cougar" label while giving the annual Class Day address at Princeton University.
"I've been called a cougar lately ... but today ... I'm very happy to be an honorary Tiger instead!". Fifty two year old Couric, said this by referring to the school's mascot. Her boyfriend, entrepreneur Brooks Perlin, was thirty three when they started dating in the year 2007.
She then made an elusive dig at Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, whom she interviewed sometime during the last year. She said, "Coming here was a real no brainer! After all, I can see New Jersey from my house!"
Referring to the crowd Couric said that "As you head out into this daunting job market, at least you have many illustrious alumni lighting the way."
Citing Michele Obama as an example, she said, "She was class of 1985, and now she's wowing them in Washington."
Katie Couric continued, "There are a few noteworthy men who were proud to go to Princeton as well...a list that reads like a who's who of American History. James Madison, John Foster Dulles, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Malcolm Forbes, James Baker....and Lyle Menendez, who's currently serving a life sentence at the Mule Creek State Prison in California. Hey, you can't win 'em all!"
Couric later added, "Don't be a hater," "Princeton has taught you to think critically, to approach things with a healthy dose of skepticism ... and that's a good thing, as Martha Stewart would say. ... Rise above the collegial nastiness and instead celebrate excellence."
