Katie Couric Is The George W. Bush Of Network News

Once again, what I thought was a joke has turned out to be reality.




First, it was Ronald Reagan.

Then it was George W. Bush.

Now, Katie Couric is about to be named the evening news anchor at CBS.

Does CBS own enough gauzy filters to accommodate Couric?

Can CBS attract viewers by focusing on Couric's legs?

Infotainment is officially here, isn't it?

Insulting. To women and to all of America.

Here are some Katie Couric interview questions:

To Condoleezza Rice:

QUESTION: As you well know, millions of Iraqis turned out. Election officials believe at least 67 percent of Iraqis voted. It was mostly peaceful. In your opinion, does yesterday's election set the stage for a more independent Iraq that will allow U.S. troops to come home soon?

To Karen Hughes:

QUESTION: Karen, let me start with you, if I could. What were your impressions of Afghanistan?

To J. K. Rowling:

Katie Couric: Once again, J.K. Rowling or Jo Rowling is back, and she's brought a few of her very good friends here, and some dry ice as well. Also here is Jim Dale, who's going to read from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Jim is the voice of Harry Potter and 124 other characters on the audiobook version of all four Harry Potter books. And also, 10 children who won the Scholastic/USA Today essay contest on "How Harry Potter Books Changed My Life." (To the kids in the audience) Hi, everybody, how are you? Good? I feel like a teacher...I'm so glad you're here. Nice to see you. You like my cape? I'm kind of getting into the act.

Katie Couric: All right, Jo, we have another email question that we didn't have time for. And one is about the pronunciation of all of the characters in the book. She says how in the world can you expect her to pronounce all these different characters, and how are you sure that you're getting it right yourself, and she adds that they sound very funny with a Texas accent.

Andy Rooney just told Don Imus that no one at CBS is happy about Couric joining their news team.

Obviously, some suits in the boardroom are happy enough to pay this telebimbo truly big bucks to act stupid every weeknight and show off her legs.

Truly heavy sigh.
