The Katie show host sent what looks to be pajamas for the little one, born in June. “Dear Kim and Kanye, Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl!” the card read. “And may I humbly suggest you continue the K tradition.”

Kardashian’s outburst may have something to do with Couric’s recent comments about the reality TV family. In mid-August, the host was quoted as saying she didn’t understand why the Kardashians were famous.

Ironically, Couric, 56, interviewed Kardashian for Glamour in 2011 and was “pleasantly surprised” by the star. “A few years ago you might have heard Kim Kardashian’s name and said, ‘Who?’ That was then. Now her name rolls off our tongue (she was 2010’s most searched term on Bing, after all),” the veteran journalist wrote. “She’s become a one-woman phenomenon and an industry. Everyone wants to keep up with this Kardashian.”
