Couric: ‘I can see New Jersey from my house’

Katie Couric, in her commencement speech today at Princeton, made a few jokes at the expense of Rush Limbaugh, Donald Rumsfeld and Sarah Palin.

The full speech is at HuffPost, but here are a few highlights.

- When Princeton called to invite me, I was thrilled. It also gave me a perfect excuse for turning down Harvard and Yale — my safety schools! And since I’ve been called a cougar lately in the tabloid press — today I’m very happy to be an honorary tiger! Coming here was a real no-brainer! After all, I can see New Jersey from my house!

- There may be some opportunities in the Republican Party. They’re still looking for an effective spokesman, and the only person they can find so far is Rush Limbaugh ... and he won’t take the job because he doesn’t want to give up his prescription plan.
- I understand Class of 54’s Donald Rumsfeld has been charged with guarding the Big Cannon. I don’t want to say he’s taking his job too far, but he’s reportedly been telling President Obama there are weapons of mass destruction hidden at Rutgers.
