Katie Couric's new colonoscopic frightmare will be her interview with serial fabricator and ex-journalist Jayson Blair — it'll run Friday night. In defending being part of his publicity machine, Couric goes so far as to call Jayson's history "repugnant." Sheesh. Sure he's a screw-up and he pretty much single-handedly thrashed the New York Times — but it's not like he's a babyfucker or anything.
