And Now...The Real Housewives Of Tehran!


This interview is a feather in the ol’ chapeau for Kathy Couric, CBS news anchorweight. She finagled a primo meet with the Al Jazeera network reality stars, 'The Real Housewives Of Tehran' by agreeing to a few governmental restrictions:
No video.
No audio, although a transcript of the conversations is allowed to be broadcast.
Kathy Couric needed to don a burka herself to conduct the interview-no makeup, no shiny shoes, hijab... even though it was done via conference call from her office in New York:

K Couric: Ladies, thank you for agreeing to talk with me today.
R-HOT: ... ..... .....!
K Couric: If I may, I'd like to speak first with the wife of Mr. Samir Rhas. Is she present?
wife Of Mr. Samir Rhas: ... ... ... ?
K Couric: No, I’m sorry, Jay Leno isn’t on my network. But yes, he is taller in person. May I ask a question of the wife of Mr. Ahmed Cruxshir?
wife Of Mr. Ahmed Cruxshir: ... ... .... ... ?
K Couric: Thank you-they’re capped. Your husband is a realtor for Sheik Aboul Ou. Puddn, the well known international banker. Isn’t there a lady in your group there whose husband is also a realtor for the same Sheik?
wife Of Mr. Ahmed Cruxshir:... ..... ..... (expletive) .......!
wife Of Mr. Bernpa Rascule: ...... (expletive)(expletive)(double expletive)... ....!
K Couric: Ladies! Please! Um...peace be upon you!
R-HOT: (screaming) (expletives) (hijab and then hair pulling) (expletives)...............................................

Kathy Couric leaned back, lit a Pall Mall and smiled. Ratings platinum.
