SHE LOOKED LIKE A LITTLE GIRL WHO HAD TO GO POTTY...(The Katie Couric Debut)

KATIE COURIC last night underwent her second on-air colonoscopy.
Watching the procedure was not a horribly painful event. Nor was it an experience I would volunteer to repeat any time soon.
For her very first night as CBS News diva, Katie spent a half-hour looking as if she desperately had to go potty. Her back was so stiff as she looked into the camera, pop-eyed and self-conscious, I feared it would snap.
Her face was Botoxed beyond normal human endurance, proving that even pampered, overpaid news babes possess the courage to suffer for their art.
And for the first time in history that a female was allowed to deliver a network's evening news alone, Katie chose to wear an unfortunate white blazer - the result, no doubt, of some jokester lying to her face when Katie asked, "Does this make me look fat?"
And the day after Labor Day, to boot!
For this they pay her a reported $15 million a year?
The best that can be said about Katie Couric was that she did not trip over her 5-inch stiletto heels when she toddled across the floor of the set, crossing her bare legs like some ridiculous tramp.
The worst that can be said about Katie is that she did not fall flat on her face - which would have provided a much-needed break in the tension.
Western civilization did not exactly end last night as Katie took to the anchor chair. But the changing of the guard did represent another kind of cultural change.
As of yesterday, network TV has proven it no longer feels the need to pretend that its nightly news broadcast is sober stuff, populated by earnest men and women with serious reporting backgrounds and working blow-dryers.

They don't have to attack her personally. She's a silly, perky broadcaster put in a serious slot that she can't fill- and all this is CBS's executives fault, not hers. ----

I agree. Gratuitous nastiness derived from envy. And I'm no fan of Katie Couric's...far from it.

Best line of the story....
Her face was Botoxed beyond normal human endurance, proving that even pampered, overpaid news babes possess the courage to suffer for their art.
LOL!

I'm sorry. I did not watch Katie Couric last night, by choice, but I think this article is so RUDE and uncalled for. And unprofessional. And catty.

...and all this is CBS's executives fault, not hers. ---- Correctamundo They are after RATINGS. Money is always the bottom line. What will their reaction be after the newness wears off and they are still in the tank?...............

Ms Peyser is obviously having her period.At least............. maybe she had a double root canal scheduled for today. Peyser sounds like one angry and jealous woman.
She's usually so sane.

Didn't Barbara WaWa anchor the news at one time...??

I believe that to be correct.
And Connie Chung did co anchor with Dan Rather nightly, for a time also.

The terrible thing about Botox is that is is murder for anchors. It makes them look frozen.

I think they are examining this waaaaay too much. I didn't see anything abnormal in the show.....I don't like her that much but I thought she did a good job....nothing fantastic, dramatic or memorable....just normal.
