Katie Couric mocked the names of Sarah Palin’s children in an off-the-air rehearsal during the 2008 presidential campaign. Here's Bernie Quigley's take:
“Where the hell do they get these names from?” she asked, referring to Palin children Trig and Track, sending her crew into peals of laughter.More from Conservatives 4 Palin, Big Journalism, Hot Air and NewsBusters.
I have some new names for CBS. In a tragedy in Louisiana this Monday, six young teenagers drowned.
Their names were: Takeitha, JaMarcus, JaTavious, Litrelle, LaDairus and Latevin.
These, like the names of Palin’s children, are American names.
[...]
The singular feature of America that persists west of 57th Street, where “Katie” and CBS live in paralysis, acting out an early-’60s fantasy equal to that of “Mad Men,” is that we Americans are born free and find and take that freedom in every generation.
[...]
And... we name our kids any damn thing we please.
