Katie Couric is LITERALLY a dumbass

Dear Katie Couric,

I was watching something on NBC the other day (probably Conan) and there was a commercial for some show coming up featuring your interview of Kofi Annan, and this was the clip they played:
You: "You literally have the weight of the world on your shoulders."
Annan: You know what, it's really not important how he responded, because that was blatantly irresponsible journalism. If Kofi literally had the weight of the world on his shoulders, he's pretty much be smooshed (I mean, let's face it, the guy's not that built). I'm getting tired of "literally" being used to mean the exact opposite... I mean, bad already means sweet, sick and ill can mean awesome, terrible peut vouloir dire "tres super," and that's all fine, but where do we draw the line?

Katie, people need literally to mean exactly literally. It's the only thing that we exaggerators have to let people know we're not exaggerating. If you take that away from us, we'll lose all credibiity. And then we'll literally be in deep shit.

Ms. Couric, I respect you. I do. You do a fabulous job covering the Thanksgiving Day Parades (who else could tell me Big Bird's beak is longer than an entire school bus?) And while I was a little grossed out by you showing us your colon on national television, there are in fact lots of people in this country who should but are too frightened to get a colonoscopy, so I know why you did it (ratings). But this blatent offense is something I cannot tolerate. Please stop it.

Sincerely, John Beck

P.S. Conan has nicer legs than you do (Late Night fans know what I'm talking about)
