I can't think of a good Latin word to express the antonym of "gravitas".

That would be "levitas" (lightness, levity / fickleness, inconstancy / groundlessness) deriving from "levis" ( light, slight, trivial / light-armed).

How about "Toro-cacas?"

"...– and meet some of the amazing people who make it happen. It’s such a collaborative effort..." (Too bad I earn 20x what any of them earn.)

"I also think people who watch the show are less focused on some of the superficialities that media and gossip writers seem to obsess over…" (Unlike that morning show I USED to do.)

"...and the people who are watching are the reason I’m doing this." (That, and the fact I am contractually obligated to support this vain markteting gimmick.)

I read somewhere that for every one of her "news" broadcasts, her pay is $50,000.

While levitas is certainly usable, I've used the more serious lucifugent to describe the MSM and DNC since the Clinton dark age. It just sounds right. And the deer in the headlight looks are priceless ;>)

lucifugus = shunning the light

She needs a gum reduction so that her nonexistent upper lip is not a foot above her teeth.

Freudian slip?

And I was impressed by the respect President Bush has for the place. He even told one of our producers “Straighten your tie, young man. You’re in the White House.” I loved that.

Quite a contrast to Slick Willie, eh Perky? But for some reason, that doesn't seem to cut any ice with you, does it? No, you'd prefer an Arkansas lothario depositing DNA samples in the Oval Office bathroom sink, right?

Katie Colonoscopy is getting exponentially more pathetic by the day...
