Don Henley didn't know it but he wrote this song about Couric over 20 years ago:
I make my living off the evening news,
Just give me something that I can use.
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry.
Well I could have been an actor,
But I wound up here.
I just have to look good,
I don't have to be clear.
Come and whisper in my ear,
We need dirty laundry.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em all around.
We got the bubble-headed beach blonde,
Comes on at five,
She can tell about the plane crash,
With a gleam in her eye.
It's int'resting when people die,
Give us dirty laundry.
Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
Y'know the boys in the newsroom,
Got a running bet.
Get the widow on the set,
We need dirty laundry.
You don't really need to find out
What's going on,
You don't want to know just
How far it's gone,
Just leave well enough alone,
Keep your dirty laundry.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em where they sit,
Kick 'em all around.
Dirty little secrets,
Dirty little lies,
We got our fingers in ev'rybody's pies,
We love to cut you down to size,
We love dirty laundry.
We can do the innuendo,
We can dance and sing.
When it's all over we haven't
Told you a thing.
We all know that crap is king,
Give us dirty laundry.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em all around.
See-BS really knows how to pick 'em!
God blessed Texas because they earned His favor.
I guess people in the DFW area aren't very "perky."
Hm...Henley must not have known that about 85% (?) of the MSM are Democrat. He would probably not have written it if he had known that.
LOL
I've heard that song on the radio before but never really paid attention to the words. That is priceless. I'd love to see this song get snuck into the playlist at one of CBS's cocktail parties.
Katy is a failure. She was hired for her name recognition and supposedly great ability to draw in viewers. To CBS this meant an INSTANT climb in ratings. Obviously this has not happened.
Even IF she gets better ratings later, she has already failed on what CBS expected of her.
CBS would be in the same position now if they had hired an unknown newscaster ..... excepts millions of bucks still in their pocket.
I know I'm not.

| Posted by LdSentinal On 12/23/2006 10:39:27 AM CST · 7 replies · 123+ views CBS ^ | 12/22/06 Last night's "Evening News" featured Katie Couric's interview with Karen James, the widow of Mt. Hood climber Kelly James. The interview dominated the second half of the show, ultimately absorbing about nine of the 22 minutes of the broadcast. Reactions to the piece, in the comments section of both the Web version of the story and Couric's blog post on the subject, have been mixed. Some lauded the interview. One commenter, vriss, called it "one of the best interviews I have ever seen on TV." Wrote blrichard: "I liked the interview. It was really a personal story that I think... |

Watch our lips. Couric is just a pawn ( you know like in the game of chess?) It's her bosses, the mean old white guys at headquarters who think they know what's best for TV news reporting to the nation.
Thet honestly believe they are smarter than everybody and that "perky" her is the best choice to cover BS stories like this most recent one about selfish morons who go hiking in the mountains in the dead of winter.
people at c-bs and the msm just don't want to admit what the public is saying.......
perky katy is just like monica lewinsky......
she blows!!!!!
