Time to bring back Dan Rather. Or maybe Walter Cronkite.

Last night when I got home, there was a book on the table that my 6 year old son had brought home from the school library called The New Kid In School (or something like that) by Katie Couric. I leafed though it quickly, nothing but a story that rhymes from what I could tell, but I'm sure there's some left-wing brain washing stuff hidden in there somewhere.

Part of the problem is her ghastly plastic Pelosi-face. Once these aging shrews start pulling their skin back into their skulls, it's all over for having any meaningful communication via facial expression. And the old folks at the nursing homes, a goodly portion of SeeBS's demographic, don't go for the death-mask look.
To: StoneGiant
I would love to see her without all of that makeup.

FYI..there was a blurb on TVNewswer a few days ago. Some CBS suit said that Katie had supposedly "improved their ratings in the 18-45 demographic enough to cover her salary.." What should be really frightening ( to Viacom shareholders) about that statement is that here you have a CBS executive actually, publicly, holding this out as a viable business model. It's the equivalent of Custer saying " the situation's under control, send more Indians"

There is no there there when it comes to Couric.
Frankly, I can't even figure out why anyone watches any of the alphabets for news.

I saw that story. Funny thing about shareholders. They expect a little more return than just "covering her salary."

Didnt they pay 14 Million dollars for her. They may as well have hired Ronald McDonald. What possessed them to believe Katie Couric had a genuine following. Maybe if they are lucky and act quick they can hire Rosie O'Moose from the View.

"Seven million people actually watch Couric." 7 million non English speaking people without cable TV.

10 million + 9.58 million + 7.77 million = 27.35 million
In other news: 27.35 million Americans cannot afford cable TV.

Better you than me.

There are a couple of pictures of her on the front of a paper in the check out at my local Walmart. The pictures show her with and without make up. I do not remember the name of the paper, it was something resembling the National Enquirer.
