Katie Couric Insults Canadians, Muslims, Americans AND Bill Cosby

Stacy McCain does the fish-in-a-barrel thing with Katie Couric, who seems to think that the cure for Americans' suspicion of radical Islam would be a Muslim version of The Cosby Show. Putting aside for the moment the fact that there just aren't any Muslim comics as funny and popular among the kufr as the Cos was among whites, I think la Couric is guilty of gross insensitivity and ignorance here. How can such a worldly, with-it talking head gal be unaware of that smash CBC hit Little Mosque On The Prairie? I mean, according to Wikipedia, Fox is looking at doing an American version.

LMOTP seems to have a following up there, at least enough to justify doing DVD sets for the first four seasons. Be interesting to see what, if anything, Fox does with it, and how well it goes over down here.
