"Editors who have seen first drafts of story treatments say it is WAY over the top, sort of a "Howard Beale on LSD reading Rolling Stone straight to camera, with a Texas accent" concept."
Man....that is too rich to be true. Thanks so much for the entertaining news on the obviously mentally-deranged former CBS Anchor.
Wonder how often Algore will appear on Rather's show. That will be a hoot I'm sure.
Thanks Again,

LOL...looks like the Couric-CBS honeymoon lasted exactly a week. Well, I do hope they dump Mrs. Colonoscopy ASAP.
Earth to Katie: You can dress up a show, you can give it a new coat of paint, you can give it a new set, you can give it new music, you can give it 24 hour a day promos: If the content is the same old left leaning liberal vile spewing out of the tube, the peeples are not going to watch!! They are tired of the liberal crap!!
My understanding is that she has a five year, $75 million contract. CBS must be crazy to not support her robustly.
Perky isn't percolating with the audience.
So, Perky blames the suits for her inability to bring an audience.
[Disclaimer: I admit that I have not watched her as CBS anchorette.]
Perky, with her tour across America, seemed to have the idea that she was going to make the evening news an Oprahic touchy-feely.
If the suits are already distancing themselves from her, the better come up with her 'sign-off slogan' soon. She may need it.
Now, I'm not a highly paid TV exec or anything like that, but don't you think the time to ask this question was BEFORE you hired this lightweight?
Nothing will change for at least 6 months - no one is even having meetings on this. You don't throw 15 million dollars at someone and expect them to change viewing habits in a week.
While I am not a fan of her's and have not watched the show, nor do I have plans to - I will give it a few months to settle in.
She won't last until this December as anchorliberal at CBS. Guaranteed.
The Perky One has just about perked at age 49. It has nothing to do with her manifest lack of ability. It's just looks, and Couric is beginning to look like a Triassic rock formation.
LMAO... maybe he'll pull an OJ and start investigating who forged the NG memo's!
Doesn't her show come on at like 5:30 in the afternoon?
Should have thought about that before hiring her.
If Katie would shed her liberal bias burden pressing her down for a just a couple of broadcasts, report what is actually happening (and learn how to read from a teleprompter this will get better at this w/ time), her ratings would go up.
One interview with the deputy prime minister of Iraq about the connection between Sadam and Al Qaeda on the the air would probably push her ahead of NBC and ABC. The deputy prime minister of Iraq is quoted by the New York Sun as saying.
"The alliance between the Baathists and jihadists which sustains Al Qaeda in Iraq is not new, contrary to what you may have been told." He went on to say, "I know this at first hand. Some of my friends were murdered by jihadists, by Al Qaeda-affiliated operatives who had been sheltered and assisted by Saddam's regime."

this would go above her capabilities....it would be very hard for her to shed her liberal bias burden, even if it means her career is on the line....cannot see her doing this after watching her makeup run down her face from visably crying live on air when Republicains won the last election....but perhaps....
Connie Chung is finished with it...NOw it's your turn.
