I hope they pick her. She'll be a complete disaster for CBS.
This just about proves the dumb-ass kooks running cBS have their heads up their behinds. They smell like it, too.

Couric would just accelerate their elimination

So you're saying she has sort of a "laxative" effect?

MSG to SeeBS: That lineup of potential candidates is pathetic.

MSG to Viacom: SeeBS doesn't know how to recruit.

MSG to Viacom shareholders: Sell.

More NBC Love For Jimmy Carter

by L. Brent Bozell III
October 6, 2004-CNSnews.com

It’s late in the campaign season, time for the networks to pull out all the stops promoting the greatness of the Democratic Party. But you can only stoop so low, right? You wouldn’t actually try to boost the reputation of the most discredited president in fifty years if he were a Democrat, would you? Oh yes, you would, if you’re NBC’s Katie Couric.


Katie has a long history of boosting former president Jimmy Carter, so much so that it was reported the Man from Plains thanked her personally when he won the Nobel Peace Prize. So on the occasion of Carter’s 80th birthday, Katie had a two-part interview with Carter to get his elder-statesman insights on just how much of a disaster is Iraq, and how John Kerry can beat that atrocious President Bush.

PARTY GIRL KATIE COURIC CALLS IN 'SICK'
Drudge Report - January 30, 2002

NBC's TODAY show host Katie Couric called in sick on Tuesday, taking a rest
from her on-air duties.

"Katie's a bit under the weather," subhost Ann Curry informed disappointed
viewers.

Couric, who just became the highest paid person in the history of the news
business with a new multiyear, mulitmillion dollar contract, notified
producers that she was suffering from mild flu, according to sources.

Couric is paid an estimated $65,000 a day, under the new terms.

More than eyebrows were raised around NBC in New York City when photos
started to appear on the wires Tuesday evening taken at a party in Boston --
photos showing Couric partying it up with boyfriend, powerproducer Tom
Werner!

An estimated 800 movers and shakers gathered to celebrated the new owners of
the Boston Red Sox.

A smiling Werner likened himself to John F. Kennedy touring France with the
glamorous Jackie by his side. "I'm the man who accompanied Katie Couric to
this party tonight," he quipped onstage, paraphrasing JFK's famous remark.

The dynamic duo ate, drank, and made merry for hours.

"I thought she was sick!" blasted one low-ranked NBC employee. "With all the
budget cuts going on, with everyone cutting back, and doubling up... she
takes all the money -- and then calls in sick!!"

Couric did not return calls requesting comment.

Couric a journalist? She is more of a gossip columnist; a light weight even when she is at her liberal worst!

I think Paris Hilton, or Britney Spears could give Perky Couric a run

Another possibility is to not have a permanent anchor. I occasionally catch BBC World News and they seem to bring on a new news reader just when you become familiar with one of them. CBS could line up weekly guest news readers forever.

A shameless self plug. This was my comment at 4:05 yesterday morning and I just noticed the headline on Drudge. Maybe CBS is listening to me through my tin foil hat?
