Perhaps she should focus less on President Bush's ratings and more on her on.

I think she's working for free- charity volunteer work ... j/k- not sure- but most likely she has some kind of guaruntee that pays her no matter what happens- perhaps even if she gets canned- nkew a proffessor who took a contract that paid him a certain salary for 5 years, even if he got canned- she probably has something like that.

There you have it.....Thelma Harper is so much better looking than Ms Couric.

[My2Cents]

She's approaching Keith Olberman territory.

Well, I somehow managed to be infuriated by her this morning. I can see why she is failing. I hope she continues to speed things up on that front.

[Revenge of Sith]

The i network only reruns family friendly shows.

OK, you German language scholars, what is it "Shadenfrude"?

I should be ashamed of the way I feel, but I don't. I hope Kattie has been putting some of that big money away for inclement weather. Realistically, no matter what happens she will be on CBS's pay role for life.

Perhaps Qaeti Khouriq would be more popular if she had a young man named Bubba calling her 'grandma.'

That, my friend , is Schadenfreud......

Well, she can climb to the top by having Hillary and Obama on EVERY night! The celebrity watchers will tune in to see their "heroes".

I must have went to work too early this morning... I thought you said she could climb on top of Hillary and Obama every night. I'm pretty sure that wouldn't help her ratings much either. At least it would be a more honest presentation of her views.

scha·den·freu·de Pronunciation (shädn-froid)
n.
Pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.
[German : Schaden, damage (from Middle High German schade, from Old High German scado) + Freude, joy (from Middle High German vreude, from Old High German frewida, from fr, happy).]

Some have speculated that CBS really hired Katie to drive down the Today show ratings. Who knows, but she's a disaster doing the evening news.

[Ieatfrijoles]

Even on full stomach, Shadenfruede is quite delicious.

[LivingNet]

Thank You...that made me laugh out loud.

[Ace of Spades]

I had CBS on randomly last night as backup noise when Couric came on. When my liberal feminist wife (i know, i know) told me to turn her off, I knew she was in trouble.

[finnigan2]

Couric has a second rate mind who gained prominence by interviewing Today Show guests with pre-scripted questions and soft ball interviews with guests on such topics as to how to make perfect brownies or ask questions on how they really Feeeeeel about issues.
Without her hairdresser, make up artist, wardrobe consultant and other underlings who tell her how to look and what to ask, she is a hollow shell with nothing going for her but a phony friendliness and toothy smile.
Once she is away from her programmed format, there is no there, there.
She is a shallow phony and the viewers sense it.

No, haven't you heard. Tom DeLay said Tuesday that a successful Clinton-Obama ticket is inevitable in 2008, and there is nothing we can do about it. He said that the Democrats are better organized than the Republicans. White males are being outvoted by females and minority group persons.
