"Sometimes I feel like human chum," Couric told one interviewer.

That should be her trademark sign-off.

It was a trainwreck right from the chute. Pure and simple. Had nothing to do with what sort of attire she was wearing.

The 30-minute broadcast ... ended with an appeal from Couric for suggestions from viewers on how she might sign off at the end of each show.

Someone just emailed "Fox & Friends" and suggested that Couric should sign off with "Believe it or not".

"We've all looked forward to this day, but this is really day one," Hartman said. "Imagine in six months what ass we will be kicking."

Typical liberalism. Count the chickens before they hatch. I predict Bob Schieffer will be doing the interim anchor job again in six months.

All that money and she wears a tacky, ill-fitting white jacket on screen - after Labor Day yet. Loser. :)

If that isn't enough, there's Couric's gender. She was repeatedly asked about her wardrobe for the first show.

"You're kidding, right?" she told one reporter.

"Sadly, I'm not," the reporter replied.

Her long stint on NBC's morning show has raised the "fluff" factor, something that didn't happen when Gibson, a morning news veteran, took over as anchor of ABC's evening news program. "I think there is some residual sexism, and I think women are sort of judged by different standards," Couric said.

And of course, having been the "victim" of the MSM through "residual sexism", she just doensn't understand the irony of it.

The show was high on fluff and short on news. Human interest stories seemed to clock more air time than news.

Hey! We got our first glimpse of Tom Cruise's new baby, wearing a Tom Cruise wig!

Couric appeared like a blind deer in headlights.
