Nice. Some bad news for ABC will complete the trifecta.

I like the Flavor of Love. Never seen a dumber group of chicks though. I guess you have to be pretty dumb to get pimped out and humiliated on TV. Then again, complete idiots sign the release on COPS too.

"Now, for my money, I would rather have seen Soledad O'Brien as the first network anchor."

Well, this tells me all I need to know about Ms. Young's intelligence.

[Robert A Cook PE]

I'm getting confused.

Now, just which week of steadily slumping Couric ratings is this story talking about?

What's the over-udder for the silk blouse, low-cut necklines and rising hemlines for her?

[nascarnation]

look at her pic
it shows clearly what I think is Botox-induced Tourette syndrome

[nevergore]

Nah...cruel is being forced to watch her......

Ya' know..when they flipped her over and put her other side on the air....it was just as bad.....

[JerseyDvl]

But the bigger question still has not been answered.
Is she still perky??

[Biblebelter]

While Couric wouldn't have been the horse I put in the big race, she hasn't deserved the glee of people — make that mainly men — who seem only too eager to trumpet Couric's ratings decline and label her a loser.

Busted. I plead guilty. Glee doesn't not describe the joy I am feeling watching Couric, the MSM, and CBS be sent on their whining way to national insignificance.

I might watch the CBS News if it were anchored by Harvard grad Conan O'Brien. Then they'd never get to the leftist hit pieces because he'd be constantly interrupted by 1940s door-to-door salesmen and the Fed Ex Pope.

Katie Couric - 2006

[Ditter]

I watched katie last night for only the 2nd time. The 'non news', news stories that she talked about were ridiculous! I wish I had jotted down the stories because I can't remember now what they were but I remember thinking 'this is NOT what I turn on the evening news to hear'. Does Katie decide what to tell us about or is there someone else who does that job? That person needs to be dumped along with 'the perkie one'!

[John W]

I watched too for about the second or third time and it had been a few weeks.I think she has quit already, if she seemed at all enthusiastic at the start there is no enthusiasm now.The previous big three were all there own "managing editors" I believe.Don't know if she is or not.

[John W]

Their not there.Jeez, I can't stand it when people screw that up.

[Ditter]

I agree, she has no enthusiasm at for the job and it shows.

[theFIRMbss]

>Katie and Flavor Fav

[FlyVet]

Katie comes across as a lightweight, and no amount of lipstick will spruce up that pig. She has the voice and mentality to anchor Romper Room, although you wouldn't want to subject little kids to that.

[TrishaSC]

You're not...heheheh.

You know NY is getting her own show called the Flavorette. I can imagine how she is going to treat those poor guys.

[dirtboy]

If Katie's ratings keep sinking at this rate, CBS will replace her with infomercials by end of year.
