Katie Couric Lashes Out at 'Vultures' (priceless!)
PeopleMag ^ | 12-18-06 | Stephen M. Silverman

Katie Couric admits that her new gig as anchor of the CBS Evening News has been "a little harder than I thought it would be."

"Some people out there are rooting for me to fail," Couric, 49, tells Esquire in its January issue. "You have to be unwavering in your convictions that you're doing something good, because there are a lot of circling vultures that will eat you alive."

Couric points out that Esquire itself criticized her after her Sept. 5 debut. "You guys even take a shot at me," she tells the magazine. "You have something in the November issue, something about how since I've become an anchor, you don't know me anymore. You don't know me anymore? Bite me."

That was a quote from Thomas Jefferson. Take up your argument with him.

"Also, she really should learn how to mix a metaphor."

I think Katie has been spending too much time watching the Simpsons, I'd be ashamed of sealing lines from Bart.

Dear Diary -

I can't believe people are so mean. It's beyond me! What have I ever done to them?

Gotta go...preparing for a tell-all interview on George and Laura Bush's failing marriage and the president's subsequent alcohol problem.....

Love, Katie

The real irony is no one could care (based on the number of people watching the show.)

Her years of ruining and smearing the reputations of others are coming right back at her.

Hallelujah.

I saw that promo, and they've also been running teasers about Katie having a profound new desire of Katie's to show stories about religious minded people.

I saw that with her picture and I wanted to projectile vomit.

Katy - I am NOT rooting for you to fail.
I am cheering that you reach limited success.

I see you have already exceeded those expectations.

The devil quotes scripture for his own purposes.

I suppose the I would phrase a similar sentiment as, "The press is a necessary evil, any attempt by the government to regulate it results in a thousand worse evils."

For decades Katie was branded and sold as the perky morning person on the Today show. How in the world the suits at CBS thought they were going to transform her into a serious anchor is mind boggling.

Sorry, but every time I see a promo for her the first thing that pops in my head if "lightweight". I'm sure it's that way for most people. You just can't take her seriously. Add to that the fact that the first story they giver out of the box was Tom Cruise's baby, something better suited for the National Enquirer and it was recipe for disaster that was easily predicable.
