Isn't it interesting that, on their own web page, the banner has one image of Katie:

and a image link to an online feed of the newsbroadcast uses the same image, only flipped vertically?

Waiting to exhale? It's all the inhaling, if you ask me.

You have GOT to be kidding me. Couric has single handedly, with this trite yammering, reduced her already near-zero credibility (and that of the SEE-BS Snooze), to BELOW zero!

I mean, c'mon folks, where does THIS fit into any comments from the (ahem) "anchor" of the CBS Evening News? (just one example):

That was done so close to air that the producer, my friend Susan Zirinsky, said her running bra was somewhere between the edit room and the control room.

Even Dan Blather, for all of his pompous arrogance, would never write something so utterly inappropriate.

That is the biggest newsdesk I have ever seen.

No legs, no ratings!

We’re trying to make the news more accessible, more compelling, more interesting....

Good Lord, how can the news be any more compelling and interesting than it is now?

Just report it as it is.

Flipped horizontally. And if you notice, the one on the bottom makes her look better............

I watched the perkie one last night for the first time and I must say............ she was AWFUL just AWFUL! She was stiff and her voice sounded flat and I had trouble understanding her at times. She looked terrified and I would think after a week she would have loosened up a little. The camera angle was strange, it kind of looked down on her. Was that to hide her neck wrinkles? She did not appear to be enjoying her new job very much.

Exactly! You took the words out of my fingers. That was going to be my next post.

PJ, I haven't read it all yet, but I'm guessing Katie's "journal" could be as DUFUable as Brian Williams's.

As the late Karen Carpenter sang, “Close to you”, I mean, “We’ve only just begun.” Wow, how hip am I?

I thought this was Scrappleface until I clicked on the link. Apparently, this is for real! Un-frickin'-believeable!

Last night was my one week anniversary…and the good news is, I’m still employed!

That's the amazing thing.

Even more amazing is how you got hired for this gig in the first place.

Good Lord, she writes like someone impersonating a teeny bopper on a my space account. How disgusting.
