EXCERPT:

Katie Couric may never win the ratings, but who cares? She just took home a coveted Cronkite Award (which we assume is called a “Wally” by TV insiders).

Couric’s Wally was presented for “her revealing, multi-part interview of Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.”

The Wallies are awarded twice each year by the USC Annenberg School for Communication. They are named in honor of Walter Cronkite, once known as “the most trusted man in America.”....

“Walter Cronkite Award”? Also known as “Benedict Arnold, Tokyo Rose, Lord Haw-Haw Award”?

Isn’t that the “award winning” interview where she deliberately set herself closer to the camera to make Sarah look small, and then she refused to call Sarah by the name Governor? And then she attacked her for things that were said by the SNL comedienne instead of by Sarah? Is that the one??????? What a trash bag . . . and for that she gets awarded???????

Please include “Vagisil Alert!” anytime Couric is mentioned.

In an effort to salvage her sagging CBS ratings, Katie produced yet another special based on her nationally televised, award-winning (the prestigious Sphyncter Cup) colonoscopy of several years ago.

Unfortunately, so much of the footage was found to contain images such as the still seen here that it was rendered unusable and the project had to be s**tcanned.

Katie told interviewers later that this is how she spends much of her free time as this is where she gets some of her best program ideas. She cited her interview with Hillary Clinton as a prime example.

And whenever I stumble across this bubble-head while surfing, these lyrics start running through my head:

I make my living off the evening news Just give me something-something I can use People love it when you lose, They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here I just have to look good, I don’t have to be clear Come and whisper in my ear Give us dirty laundry

Kick ‘em when they’re up Kick ‘em when they’re down Kick ‘em when they’re up Kick ‘em when they’re down Kick ‘em when they’re up Kick ‘em when they’re down Kick ‘em when they’re up Kick ‘em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who Comes on at five She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam In her eye Its interesting when people die- Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet? You know, the boys in the newsroom got a Running bet Get the widow on the set! We need dirty laundry

You don’t really need to find out what’s going on You don’t really want to know just how far its gone Just leave well enough alone Eat your dirty laundry

Kick ‘em when they’re up Kick ‘em when they’re down Kick ‘em when they’re up Kick ‘em when they’re down

Kick ‘em when they’re up Kick ‘em when they’re down Kick ‘em when they’re stiff Kick ‘em all around

Dirty little secrets Dirty little lies We got our dirty little fingers in everybody’s pie We love to cut you down to size We love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo We can dance and sing When its said and done we haven’t told you a thing We all know that crap is king Give us dirty laundry!

“Dirty Laundry” by Don Henley

Along with his knighthood, maybe we should award Sir Splash-a-lot of Camelot a swimming merit badge for his valiant derring-do on the island of Chappaquiddick.
