NEW YORK — CBS will name Today Show anchor, Katie Couric, as the replacement for Dan Rather on the CBS Evening News. 
“The networks have been criticized over the years for choosing ‘pretty faces’ for the evening news anchors – think of Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw, Diane Sawyer, even the brief tenure of Connie Chung. Well, we didn’t want just another pretty face, and we have certainly achieved that goal, “said a CBS spokesman. “Katie is pretty damn ugly with her lopsided face and too-big grin.
“We did want some journalistic heft, which Katie clearly doesn’t have, and someone who appealed to the important youth market, which Katie doesn’t do either. But we had to make some trade offs, and not being a pretty face trumped everything else.”

She resembles a fireplug if you ask me. Same shape.

Will her first show involve her getting a colonoscopy? Preferably with a Louisville Slugger?

Call me crazy, but I think she's very doable.

Greta's 'mouth-action' is a real turn-off... but it's her voice that makes me wince.

The only way I'd watch is if they had some hot babe doing the news.
And then I'd watch with the sound off anyways.

Does anyone still have that pic of her in the ugly green dress she wore to Trumps wedding? She certainly needs fashion help in addition to a brain transplant.
