At first the ratings will go up with Couric at CBS just out of curiosity. Evening news is different than perky mornings. I don't see her hitting one out of the park.

Some people think ... Katie Couric ought to have that lead in engraved on her headstone. It's her favorite ...

does Katie's "some people" equal Rita Cosby's "sources" ??
cheap cop out "some people" when all the while it means "I"

"Some people think . . . "
How I wish I were a politician or a celebrity, so when she tossed me one of those "Some people think . . . " questions, I could say to her, "Yes, some people think that, and some people think you're an obscenely overpaid nitwit."
To: governsleastgovernsbest
Barf... but thank you - as always - for your fine reports on the daily doings of Perky Katie et al. Someone has to get up early to do this dirty work! ;-)

I have to be completely honest...I have NEVER watched even ONE Today Show with Katie Couric...
I don't know if I have ever seen her talk, LIVE...just in news reports.

There are a few little catchphrases like that which always bug me when I hear them.
"Some people" is most certainly up towards the top of my list. Which people? Your friends? My friends?
"Vast majority" is another. How much is a vast majority? 66.6%? 90%? 50.000001%?
"It stands to reason that..." No, you believe that. Don't tell me what I am supposed to infer from statements, facts, data, etc..
Okay...end rant. Sorry for hijacking the thread!

I would think Matt was sooooooooooo ready to kick her off the show, she is a media whore, just like Oprah. Look at us we are so great and over paid!!!!

CBS will promote her to the hilt and she will do OK for about 3 weeks. Then CBS will be in the basement again. I've always wondered what it would take for an affiliate to dump the national evening news.

Finally, in what apparently turned out to be JFK, Jr.'s last public interview, he was shown mentioning to Katie that several times a day "people come up to say 'your father was a great man.'"But then it came time to leave the Alzheimer's wing at the Kennedy family reunion and go back to the real world.

Now that she's gone..the main reason for your "Today Show" gig is also gone..can you file for unemployment benefits? I have a feeling her replacement is going to be even worse. She's going to have to prove herself early too. I wonder if she'll use Katie's source, "some people."
Oh well, so long, to the "affable Eva Braun"!

I caught a bit of an interview with Katie on "Access Hollywood." (caveat: I was getting a Sam Adams and a shot of Jameson; it was on the bar TV) and I couldn't believe how seriously Ms. Couric took herself. She really thinks she's something and that important.

The whole show was entirely over-the-top. I'm surprised that I sat to watch it and if I hadn't been busy with other things in the same vacinity as the TV, I would have turned it off. She is notoriously liberal and lets her views be known but... she has "charisma" - so anything she does is okay.
Gag.
To: All
FReeper governsleastgovernsbest will be on the Lars Larson show this evening at about 6:30 PM EDT to discuss Katie's finale.

I hate it when interviewers use the "some people say" prefix to a question. The person being interviewed should immediately demand the interviewer disclose who those mysterious people are. I think the answer should be, "Other people say the opposite. Next question."
