CBS To Get Heavier Anchor?
Leibowitz's Canticle ^ | 4/25/2007 | Leibowitz

Posted on 04/25/2007 11:28:32 AM PDT by MRiley

Katie Couric's tour of duty as anchor at CBS Evening News has been labeled an expensive, unfixable mistake. ///

Is it entirely coincidental that Rosie O'Donnell is freeing herself up at the exact moment of CBS' great need? ///

"She's lined up a deal for a show where she can be more overtly political (than she is on The View)."

Is it possible that CBS will bring Rosie in to replace Katie? Maybe, according to CBS To Get Heavier Anchor?

The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric is a quagmire?

Pure speculation and conjecture. It’ll never happen. Rosie is not a newscaster - despite her loud, boistrous demeanor. She’s a fluff-caster and wannabe commentator. And that’s all she will ever be.

This is perhaps the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

Rosie as evening news anchor?

Please.

Not even CBS would do that.

This is just insane. Not even remotely possible....greater chance that six asteroids will hit Earth a minute from now than this EVER even being considered at CBS, much less actually being seriously considered.

“She’s a fluff-caster and wannabe commentator. And that’s all she will ever be.”

And your point is... what exactly? I thought those were Katie’s qualifications.

Imagine the earnings, though.

Millions and millions and millions of dollars.

Of course, no credibility whatsoever, but, heck, what do they have to lose?

Yeah, it is pretty silly. Rosie is too much of a right-winger for that bunch.

Rosie will scream the “news” of the left in between segments of her new Err America shiw, “Down in Front!”

Since she’s so busy, she’ll take Bill Burkett on as ehr document checker and read press releases from every America-hating organization.

Her signoff will be “I’m fat and Osama rocks!”

They just have to start feeding her a lot of sugar filled pastries, candy and starches like spaghetti and french fries to bulk her up.

Aw, c’mon - you KNOW it will happen. They are so stupid, they’d do it in a heartbeat. :-)

Maybe they’ll do a tag-team like Huntley and Brinkley used to do... I can see it now - O’Donnell and Moore... Or maybe - O’Donnell and Gore

But WHO REALLY CARES? I think I’ve watched network evening news less than a dozen times in the past year, and maybe two of those were Katie.

They could add Alec Baldwin to the mix. Then he could go on one of his tirades every night screaming that they’re fat thoughtless pigs. It would be like SNL.

Ha! That’s good!

“Goodnight. I’m Katie Couric, and you’re not.”
