Well, she's telling you. Her timing is, well, curious. In the last week, CBS News laid off at least 90 people. Today, video taken during her Harper's Bazaar cover shoot surfaces. In it, the $15 million-a-year "CBS Evening News" anchor is dolled up, posing with her best "glamourpuss" face, and answering questions about genetics ("I've been very fortunate, all the girls in my family have pretty good legs, I guess," she says) and when she feels sexiest ("I always feel sexiest when I'm in a little black dress with a really great pair of shoes. High heels of course.") It's not much of an overshare. CNN's Anderson Cooper has posed for fashion spreads for Maxim and Esquire, and once compared going prematurely gray to premature ejaculation in Details magazine. But with her show still lingering in third place in the network evening news ratings race, and her contract with CBS up next year, could this be Couric angling for an out? She used to maintain an outlet for her "nerd side," and Oprah will soon be vacating daytime. What's more, just last night, Couric filed her reporter's notebook on dating. "...instead of worrying about 'marrying up,' women should focus on marrying right -- choose someone you feel has integrity, character and shares the same values. This is supposed to be an unlimited partnership, not a leveraged buyout."

Okay Freepers, get your kicks in while you can - the author opines that one of the Free Republics' favorite punching bags (besides Helen Thomas and Maureen Dowd) might be on her way out at CBS.

[Jeff Chandler]

besides Helen Thomas

Then I got nothin.

[Desdemona]

In a word - no.

[illiac]

No matter what she does, she’s NOT SEXY!

[Berlin_Freeper]

That was a woman?

A camera shoved up her rear end?

We're talking IMAX, here...

(”I've been very fortunate, all the girls in my family have pretty good legs, I guess,” she says) and when she feels sexiest (”I always feel sexiest when I'm in a little black dress with a really great pair of shoes. High heels of course, with Barrick Obama,Chrissy Matthews and Keith Oberman, throwing hateful venom at our real or created enemies:the American People.”)

[Mr Rogers]

“That was a woman?”

If I saw that in a dark alley, I’d throw down my wallet to distract it while I started running...

Maybe 40 years ago, she wasn’t bad looking, at least on the outside.

Unfortunately she has always been ugly as sin otherwise.

All the girls in my family have marvelous legs, too, but whenever we’re in little black dresses and high heels, we’re burying somebody.

Incidentally, Couric’s had a face lift, and I’ve seen better. Last photo of her on Drudge, it looked like a death mask.

Try growing old gracefully, Katie; or at least quietly. Nobody wants to hear about your skanky old flanks.

I'd be more interested in the alimentary processes of the three-toed sloth...

Do you want to know what makes Katie Couric feel sexy?

Standing next to Helen Thomas?

[A_Former_Democrat]

“choose someone you feel has integrity, character and shares the same values”

Impossible, Katie. Your liberal values contradict any notions of integrity and character.

[StAntKnee]

Ummmm... Having a little trouble making eye contact with JLC.

[Syncro]

Katie is NOT sexy!

"I always feel sexiest when I'm in a little black dress with a really great pair of shoes. High heels of course."

Cronkite and Rather felt the same way.

But they didn't give interviews about it.

And don't get me started about Charles "If the Van is A'Rockin' Don't Come A'Knockin'" Kuralt ...

[Zakeet]

Do you want to know what makes Katie Couric feel sexy?

No. But I can guess what it must take to make Perkie look sexy.
