In a speech to the University of Minnesota Alumni Association this weekend, Katie Couric reflected on her 2006 CBS Evening News debut:

"According to the critics, I couldn't do anything right. From the white jacket I wore on the first night...to my makeup, to the way I held my hands on the anchor desk, to the stories we did. I had to tell myself, 'You're good at your job, you have something to offer and who the hell do these people think they are anyhow?'"

[Beaten Valve]

Just keep doing what you're doing, Katie darling.

No one will ever notice...

[GeronL]

who the hell do these people think they are anyhow?

The liberal attitude toward everyone else.

[rbosque]

Her ratings are in the gutter, that says something.

[MNnice]

I heard they couldn’t GIVE the tickets away to hear perky Katie pontificate.

[Doogle]

....Betty White is in the headlines again, Kattie is jealous.

[Responsibility2nd]

who the hell do these people think they are anyhow?'"

Former CBS News watchers. That's who they hell they are.

[Spok]

I haven’t seen her since she left that idiotic morning show. What’s she doing now?

[Snickering Hound]

You left out that you can't dance either.

[chris_bdba]

“who the hell do these people think they are anyhow”

Judging by your ratings it might’ve been the people who used to watch CBS news?

[jessduntno]

She was in MN...was she channeling Sen. Stuart Smalley?

[hobbes1]

and who the hell do these people think they are anyhow?

Ummmm....the ones that wondered how in the hell you were going to generate enough money for the network to justify that contract? (looks like we were...hmmmmm what's that word again....?????)

RIGHT????????

[Canedawg]

What’s she doing now?

Getting a colonoscopy?

[wac3rd]

The good news is that when you are fired along with Barbara Boxer, you can race horses together and stay employed as jockeys.

[RoadTest]

Like a crooked arrow, Katie, you always miss the truth.

[raybbr]

...and who the hell do these people think they are anyhow?'"

Oh, the indignity of it all!

[Izzy Dunne]

had to tell myself, 'You're good at your job, you have something to offer

Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggonit, people like me!"

[ml/nj]

1. Jacket

2. Make up

3. Hands

4. "Stories"

Maybe that's the problem?

[hershey]

Katie is a mindless, clueless creep.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

It really is hard to tell comedy from farce from reality these days, innit?
