Fox News Regular Bo Dietl: ‘Ten Years Ago, [Katie Couric] Looked American. Today, She Looks Oriental’
Fox News Regular Bo Dietl: ‘Ten Years Ago, [Katie Couric] Looked American. Today, She Looks Oriental’
On Monday during an appearance on Don Imus’ radio show, which is simulcast on the Fox Business Network, former George H.W. Bush appointee and Fox News regular Bo Dietl used sexist and racist language to attack CBS News anchor Katie Couric. “Katie Couric, the cougar,” said Dietl. “If she gets her eyes done anymore, she’s going to look like a split face.” As Imus meekly attempted to defend Couric, saying “she’s fine,” Dietl unleashed a derogatory rant about Couric:
DIETL: She looks like a Halloween cartoon. She’s got her eyes pulled so far, she’s starting to look Chinese herself. Enough with these face lifts, alright Kate. And enough with the young guys Katie. You’re over the top baby. You’re over fifty. Start going out with guys your own age. This cougar stuff don’t work.
After some cross talk, Imus tried to get Dietl to “leave Katie Couric alone.” But as Dietl approached the end of his rant, Imus offhandedly called Couric “a rodent” as he tried to end the conversation:
IMUS: I’m just saying that if she wants — leave Katie Couric alone. She’s fine.
DIETL: Oh no no no. You like her eyes the way they look?
IMUS: She looks fine to me.
DIETL: They’re getting smaller and smaller.
IMUS: She looks fine.
DIETL: Ten years ago, she looked American. Today she is an oriental.
IMUS: She is a rodent. Leave her alone.
DIETL: She doesn’t like you either pal. She never stuck up for you.
Watch it:
This isn’t the first time that Dietl and Imus have had a racially-charged discussion live on the air. In May 2008, after Dietl said that then-President Bush should fly to Saudi Arabia to talk to “those little hamel humpers over there,” Imus replied, “It’s, uh, ‘camel humpers.’” An advocate of having law enforcement “go out to the Muslim communities,” Dietl, who is a birther, has referred to Muslims as “Aba Dabba Doos.”
Dietl has appeared on Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly and Neil Cavuto’s Fox News shows and is someone for whom Fox News CEO Roger Ailes personally vouches. “I have known Bo Dietl both personally and professionally for many years,” says Ailes in an endorsement letter posted on Dietl’s website. “He does excellent work and personally is a man I trust.”

None. TP goofed, maybe confusing him with Bernie Kerik – who was almost a Bush appointee.

Hi STORM
November 11th, 2009 at 5:52 pmFrom his Wikipedia page — “Dietl was given the secret Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe to safeguard while the company’s internal security was being revamped”
That explains it all!
p.s. — he was appointed as Co-Chairman of the National Crime Commission by either Poppy Bu$h or GDumbya (not sure which one)
November 11th, 2009 at 5:52 pmWho Knows Bo?
November 11th, 2009 at 5:52 pmWow, two guys gossiping about face lifts and dating young men.
How macho can they get ?
November 11th, 2009 at 5:55 pmScum like Deitl long for the world of fascism. Tick off another sign:
5.) Rampant Sexism: The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:55 pmShorter Dietl: Malkin is a hotty mama!!
November 11th, 2009 at 5:55 pmNothing With a Face says:
Under a Palin administration Bo Dietl would be Secretary of State.
Or at least a recess-appointed (because he couldn’t get confirmed by the Senate) Ambassador to the United Nations.

Don’t talk about your own mother that way, cupcake. You shouldn’t get so mad when she merely asks you to log off her computer and change your diapers. After all, you are living rent-free in her basement.
p.s. — wash your hands, too . . . you’ve got Cheetos dust and some mysterious white gooey substance all over them
November 11th, 2009 at 6:01 pmWasn’t there anyone in the Bush administration who wasn’t either a liar, a crook, a hypocrite, or a sad excuse of a human being?
Why does this man care what Couric says, does, or looks like anyway?
November 11th, 2009 at 6:02 pmThese people are just embarrassing.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:03 pmWho would have guessed that Katie would earn the eternal enmity of the Reichwhiners for asking Bible Spice what she reads?
November 11th, 2009 at 6:09 pmAnd you , Bo , continue to look and act like a dirty bozo ……..
November 11th, 2009 at 6:14 pmRacist propaganda and obsolete philosophies have always had a home on Fox News.

November 11th, 2009 at 6:15 pmI would take a case of crabs from Katie Couric, before an endorsement from Roger Ailes.

These Repugs have a hatred for women. It is blantant. It is always about their looks ain’t it? Rememeber when a rightie told Bachman the ‘Liberals’ fear her looks? And Palin? Their support is obvious because she is attractive ,because she is dumber than a bag of hammers.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:29 pm@33, Bo Dietl is NO Don Rickles.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:31 pm“Enough with these face lifts, alright Kate.”
First, I’m not convinced it is the result of face lifts. But either way:
I have never seen an unattractive male republican. Right ?
/snark
November 11th, 2009 at 6:31 pmSo Mr. Duke — as you admit – FOX is a comedy show. I’d be fine with that if their viewing audience realized this.. because I whole-heartedly agree.. – FOX is great for laughs.. but aren’t all Republicans?
If FOX would simply admit to their audience: they aren’t credible – and they aren’t news – and issue a disclaimer at the beginning of all their brain wash programs.. I’d be fine with it.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:33 pmMr.Duke says:
Get over yourself. It is called comedy. PC fools. .. Don Rickles has been saying this kind of stuff for 60 years. Don’t like it? Hit the TV clicker. LMAO.
I’ve seen Don Rickles in person. He’s talented.
Bo Dietl and Imus are not Don Rickles.
The words Dietl and Imus don’t even belong in the same sentence as the word comedy.
Haha, The “Dietl and Imus Show”. that would really pull ‘em in. Maybe these “comedians” can tour the comedy clubs and the college circuit.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:36 pmWell, it’s comedy, right?
Not good comedy.
But it’s comedy, right?
Say, is this Dietl guy a comedian? No?
Then it’s not comedy.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:39 pmThis happened on Fox News. Murdoch and Ailes are giving the worst kind of people air time to spread their hate. Reasonable people are appalled by this. Nothing more needs to be said.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:40 pmwhy doesn’t Bo comment on Bohner’s fake tan? I think good ole John looks like a Ompalompa.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:43 pm32, Hannity will spin his brains out, count on it.

Matt Stone is “quote” Republican.. he also claims he hates Republicans and really hates Liberals – not only is that not a stunning endorsement – it also shows his hypocrisy and thus why he claims to be a Republican… it’s a welcome solace for hypocritical thinking.
Trey on the other hand claims to be Libertarian.
The real point though.. if you were to watch any episode of South Park it’s more like an episode of Stephen Colbert.. only an ignorant Republican could claim these shows strengthen the Republican stance. Watch Team America – world police sometime… ‘Freedom isn’t free’ which is a rip on the ignorance of the heart land, tea partying, conservatives if I ever saw one. The entire movie is Colbert style ridicule of the conservative platform… though it isn’t surprising that Republicans could miss the irony.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:54 pmPeople in glass houses…
November 11th, 2009 at 6:54 pmYou think a show where the creators have been quoted as saying, “We hate conservatives” is right wing?
Another quote from Trey Parker: “We find just as many things to rip on the left as we do on the right. People on the far-left and the far-right are the same exact person to us.”
Londra whatever your name is, considering you’re so ridiculously wrong about the South Park, is it possible that you’re also made a wide variety of other wrong assumptions (say, in your understanding of politics) that have led you to this low point in your life where you’re desperately trolling blue blogs?

November 11th, 2009 at 7:10 pmCan someone explain to me why Bo (Don’t know diddley) was attacking Katie?
I mean, she’s not quite the rabid left like Michael Moore.
What was the purpose?
And if we are going to attack defenseless TV personalities who’s augmented their looks with surgical enhancements, why not go after Greta?
November 11th, 2009 at 7:13 pmOr InSannity, who rumor has it had to have a penile implant, and is still, to this day, called “shorty”.
I think we can all accept that Dietl is not only a pig, but a racist pig at that.
And Fox News and Don Imus aren’t any better for giving him a platform.
But this incident brings up another matter — why is it, that no matter what a woman accomplishes, too many men judge her solely on her looks? And usually these men are no prize themselves.
Is it that this is the only way they can deal with a woman who has achieved more than they have, makes more money, and is very likely smarter as well?
Oh, and by the way — Katie Couric looks just fine.
November 11th, 2009 at 7:16 pmI think the Fox Business Network just lost a lot of their Asian audience.
November 11th, 2009 at 7:18 pmOafs.
Seriously.
November 11th, 2009 at 7:20 pmAfter all these years, Bo Dietl has turned into the conservative mascot: THE GREEDY MONOPOLY BANKER!
November 11th, 2009 at 7:25 pmI’d forgotten this little toad existed. Back in the day, Imus had a show on a channel that people actually watched. His morning show was sometimes interesting and mildly amusing. But when Toad Dietl was on as a guest – automatic channel change. This guy is literally nauseating.
November 11th, 2009 at 7:26 pmDIETL: Ten years ago, she looked American. Today she is an oriental.
______________________________________________________________
What, exactly, does an “American” look like, Dietl? Are you saying that Americans of East Asian ancestry aren’t American?
What a jerkwad.
November 11th, 2009 at 7:27 pmAt least Katie Couric didn’t sell out her job as Bo dipshit did. Maybe Imus should introduce him as accused cop-sellout-to-the-mob Bo Dietl. It looks as if Bush likes crooked cops. Bo and his boss, Bernie, two scum bags of the Bush years.
November 11th, 2009 at 7:31 pmAlert the Unamerican Activities Committee
November 11th, 2009 at 7:40 pmIt is so obvious that neither Dietl and Imus have looked at themselves in the mirror lately.
Their mirrors are probably covered with black cloths.

It seems what a person looks like or doesn’t look like is the almighty top priority to these freaks.

they know that there’s still a lot of racist sentiment in the U.S. – and they’re still trying to capitalize on it..
what they fail to understand – it’s on a continual decline. like their party. This is part of the entire movement to get on the ‘right side of history’… which oddly enough.. is the left =)

ugly person all ’round.
… and i’ve got lots of mirrors…
November 11th, 2009 at 8:05 pmHow an aging Weeble (Dietl) and a decomposing cryptkeeper (Imus) find the cajones to mock someone else’s physical appearance is beyond me. Maybe they’d just finished watching the Carrie Prejean video and decided Couric just didn’t stack up to that hypocrite’s boob job …

As long as the insect MIC is being fed we will continue to see more loss… with the exception of the corporate powers invested in insurance, defense, media…which will continue to win. And we, US are such a bargain for the MIC as we spend over 50% of our taxes to defense,more than all other countries put together. Those other countries are very smart as instead of defense, THEY put their money towards health care… while we, US, beg and settle for scraps the corporate powers control – all this while we, US, police the world.
So perverted and we, USc are screwed.

Well, usually something has to be funny to be considered comedy. Just being stupid doesn’t necessarily qualify as comedy, but then again you right wingers were never that good when it comes to comedy, however you do stupid pretty well.
btw Mr. Dunce, I don’t have a ‘high horse’ and I don’t watch Leno, Letterman of Maher, you old fart.

You are far too stupid to tell ME to get real since you are far to stupid to even recognize reality. Mahar DOESNT do anything like that.
