Linda Stasi on why viewers are tuning out Katie Couric:Plus when Katie tries to look serious, she looks constipated.The real problems with Katie are her sex, her hair, her smile, her clothes, her celebrity and, yes, her name. The fact that we all call her Katie - instead of her given name, Katherine - right off feels like a cute nickname for a cute TV personality. Not a news anchor.
Dana Perino, American Hero [Kathryn Jean Lopez]From the article (I've linked it):
From the Washington Times :
Mrs. Perino is "the first press secretary to cut Helen Thomas no slack," said Ann Compton of ABC News, who has spent more than three decades as a White House correspondent.
One veteran reporter describes 5-foot-1-inch Dana Perino as "a little tiny thing," but the deputy White House press secretary brings to her job a big reputation for brains and the Wild West toughness of her native Wyoming.Must be something in that Wyoming water.Witness her recent exchange with Helen Thomas, who has covered every presidency since she followed the Kennedy campaign to Washington. When Mrs. Thomas, 86, kept firing questions at Mrs. Perino, 34, the presidential spokeswoman cut her off.
"Do you want me to answer the question, Helen, or do you want to ask questions? It's really hard to concentrate here. What's your question?" Mrs. Perino demanded.
Mrs. Thomas replied, "You repeat yourself so much that... "
"So do you," Mrs. Perino interrupted, then immediately called on another reporter.
Plus when Katie tries to look serious, she looks constipated.
