LOL ... will be interesting to watch.

[america-rules]

Who cares?

She's peobably getting a 5 year 100 Mil contract so if the solo gig flops she can still go to 60 minutes :)

[ncountylee]

Don't think that she will last 6 months.

[dollar_dog]

It all depends on how many married assignment editors she blows at the office in the middle of the night.

[The Shrew]

December 15, 2006 will be her sign off night.

How interesting. I would have loved to be there listening to them as they were drinking away their sorrows. CBS is just plain stupid. And Meredith Viera to replace Katie at NBC? Like they are the only 2 females to fill these spots. I know of so many women, and even more males, to replace these bimbos.

ping!

[KittyKares]

Puh-leeze! I wish the media would stop talking about this so called "historic" event. It is only historic in its insignificance.

[spyone]

I am truly amazed at CBS management. After the Dan Rather fiasco, they went out of their way to try to hire this far left person. To me, it shows they view this more like an episode of "survivor" to dumb down the news as opposed to a serious news operation. As if the MSM didn't have enough problems at this point. Truly idiotic.

[RocketMan1]

CBS, looking for a little credibility after the departure of the Dan Rather debacle, go and get themselves little "Baghdad" Katie of "hopefully Saddam escaped to Syria before the bombs fell" fame!

I give her 'til Christmas. CBS Evening News will have ratings equal to 35 year old PBS reruns of Mister Rogers Neighborhood!

"Finally, she is such a bitch, none of the "little people" will help her, so it will be a painful slide. They would fall on their swords for Chronkite or Scheiffer, but this bimbo, no way." ---

Good point.

I hear they are saying that she (Couric) is returning to her hard news roots. (Gag)

Perky is as Perky does:

Was bombarded with these silly posters at San Jose Airport recently.

[martin_fierro]

Next year this time? No way.

Bookmarked - will check back in a year.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Notice how CBS stock prices plunged immediately after Couric made her announcement this morning.

Maybe it will manage to break even by the end of the day.

[Bubba_Leroy]

I predict that CBS News will get a hefty bump in the ratings when she starts because of the novelty factor. That will wear off quickly and the ratings will drift back down below where they are now.

I am also betting that CBS will not dump her no matter how low the ratings go. Within five years most of the remaining CBS affiliates will dump the CBS evening newscast in favor of syndicated sitcom re-runs.

[04-Bravo]

Before long, CBS will consider "The Odd Couple II", with Connie Chung and Dan Rather.

[kempo]

They will only replace her with another lefty and lose more money. I can’t believe they don't have a stockholders revolt taking place.
