The elite owners/publishers of ABCNNBCBS and the major dinosaur fishwraps are the modern day, Norman Bates. They are trying to keep the corpses alive by refusing to admit that they are dead and to bury them.

Thanks!

. . .Katie was a dinosaur long before she began her famed listening tour. Her extinction began when the networks forgot about any semblance of the truth, and began wrapping it with what Winston Churchill termed a "bodyguard of lies."

A well-coifed dinosaur, but a dino just the same.

"wonder if the extended time lapse between leaving her old job and taking on her new one is being used to get a younger face - ala Gretta?"

Do you mean Gretta VanFacelift ?

"Send in the Clowns" would be great for her debut. Millions of feminists would like to be there to kiss her on her opening.

I have seen Katie try to be serious, with the glasses on and the long face hanging down to reveal maxi-gravitas. She is a hoot. I am allergic to her so-called reporting, so I never watch her for more than a few, painful, hive-festering moments.

" Say, Pinch. How's about going down the cellar with me?"

I hear Couric's cock-of-the-walk entrance into CBS was not greeted w/ universal approval.

[subterfuge]

There comes an age when perky ain't cute anymore - when someone who reaches middle age+ but tries to hang onto her youthful look/persona instead of embracing the gravitas- maturity that could be an asset, they appear pathetic.

Reminds me of the 65 + yo dudes with pony tails. I always thought I'd grow my hair out when I retired and it didn't matter anymore. Ah, the wonder of youth. Blech!!

Misogynistic male drama queens probably hate getting their tail feathers ruffled by a woman.

..."But CBS is slowly bringing things together for her arrival, with a peppy new song by James Horner, fresh from the Titanic overture, which all the honchos at the network hope isn’t a precursor of future success...."

LOL!!

Perky Katie is rearranging the deck chairs on the sinking CBS (Couric Broadcasting System) network.

CBS - Communist Broadcast System

Superb! Thanks!

Pinch had better be careful when he has his group showers after the daily editor's hot tub orgies where the latest acts of sedition and treason are hatched.

FOTFLOL!

At this point...if I were NBC and ABC...I'd be smiling because they've got a chance to take 50 percent of CBS's market share six months into Katies's start. I don't see much hope for CBS to gain viewers...its a mostly a loss which you will notice two weeks into the show. The question will be...how do they tell Katie that she is being dumped to 60 Minutes...and no more nightly newscasts? And will they be stupid to wait this out until the primary season of 2008? By that point...ABC and NBC will be firmly owning the numbers of CBS. I keep thinking that the two other networks paid someone off in CBS to arrange for this hiring...its the only logical explanation.

Anyone hear that Katie has gotten CBS to create new intro music for her show? Apparently from what I caught on the radio yesterday its going to be done by the composer of the music for the film Titanic. Not a joke.....you can of course fill in your own. :)

LOL----o-o-o-o, but it must feel so good----LOL.

My choice of words was inept.

[Dooderbutt]

Hmm

in·ept ( P ) Pronunciation Key (n-pt) adj.

1. Not apt or fitting; inappropriate.

2.

a. Displaying a lack of judgment, sense, or reason; foolish: an inept remark.

b. Bungling or clumsy; incompetent: inept handling of the account.

OK, when it comes to definition #1 - you are not inept, cause it was perfectly fitting.

#2a - perhaps correct, as you showed a lack of judgment (putting those images into my head!!)

#2b - not inept... :0)
