Katie Couric's Odd Dutch Blunder

Katie Couric is coming under fire for saying ice skating is an "important mode of transportation" for people who live in Amsterdam. She cited the frozen canals of Amsterdam as the explanation for why the Dutch are so good at speed skating. However, the canals don't actually freeze very often and when they do, the Dutch do have cars. After the comments hit the internet, the Dutch were quick to mock Couric.
