BUSH, CLINTON, LIMBAUGH, CRONKITE TO LAUNCH COURIC

**Exclusive**

Plans for the opening week of CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC have surpassed network executives' wildest dream: Presidents Bush and Clinton, radio king Rush Limbaugh and broadcast legend Walter Cronkite have all agreed to appear, a CBS insider reveals!

A top network source says scheduling of "guest editorials" are still in flux.

But the addition of Rush Limbaugh to the CBS EVENING NEWS is bound to generate maximum commotion and tune-in hits.

I hope Rush blows cigar smoke in her face and asks how her colon is doing.

No kidding? Let's just hope it's not a one-time stunt to generate publicity. My guess is that if the whole conservative-on-the-tele thing is for real, CBS's ratings skyrocket.

That goes beyond all bounds of decency with the death of her husband and her sister from cancer.

Bubba has at least enough brain cells still sparking to know that he would be out of his league -- trust me, he would never consent to debating Rushbo.

Katie won't get in the ring with Rush either -- she knows that his Right hook is direct and lethal and cannot be countered with her Left fake ...

So this means she invites people on who are very popular with one segment of the population or another, each separately, for their guest commentary, to try to gather viewership.

And if Rush is on, I personally have to watch. Dang, she got me. I would not watch otherwise. Is Rush trying to garner success for the MSM emetic Katie, or was he given a podium he could not refuse?

Let me guess -- she will say "Rush up next" before every commercial break and put him on for the last 2 minutes of the show.

Rush will be on the last 30 seconds of the show while the credits are scrolling and the music is playing.

Rush is so privileged...

He even gets to go to the front of the line to say 'goodbye' to Katie!

Absolutely, it would be a riot to watch ...

If Rushbo does appear, it will be interesting to watch the forced plastic smile (unsuccessfully hiding her seething hatred) of Qati Khouric introducing the Doctor of Democracy. But she would still do it for ratings in spite of her hidden rage ...

At this point I'm so disgusted and nauseated by this manufactured media event as a Second Coming that I don't give a damn who's involved.

Contrary to the oh-so-sensitive souls in this thread, I'd pay a hefty cover charge to see that show, I think your comment was hilarious!

That's why I occasionally refer to the "Eva Braun of Morning Television" (thank you Ann Coulter) as "Katie Kolon".

Her venomous and slanted reporting means she gets no quarter from me, nor does she deserve any.

So to you Sir, I say BRAVO for saying what MANY of us are thinking anyway! ;)

Actually, it would be fun to see El Rushbo give his opinion of Katie's prececessor-if he's allowed to.
