Could something be up at The Today Show?
The show has been hit with successive waves of bad news. First, falling ratings as Good Morning America with Diane Sawyer narrows the gap and even beats Today in some markets. Next, a series of articles painting Katie Couric as a self-centered prima donna at war with Matt Lauer and responsible for the axing of various show execs.
Katie missed a few shows last week, and granted, that's not unusual. The show explained she was "on assignment," and perhaps she was. But this morning, Katie was missing again, and this time there was no explanation, just Campbell Brown in her seat. For that matter, Ann Curry, Today's regular news reader, was also out, though in her case it was stated that she was "on assignment."
Could something be up? We'll be watching.
By the way, the final segment of the first half-hour focused on Joe Biden effectively throwing his hat into the ring over the weekend for the Democratic presidential nomination.
It's just my opinion, but given Biden's personal history, I'm not sure his announcement line was necessarily the best move: "I'm Joe Biden, and I'm reporting for duty." ;-)
Yeah, the only people that wear them are hookers & drag queens.
My husband & I are trying to come up with a scenario where I disappear right before our anniversary & then turn up in Atlantic City - for some reason - we haven't figured that part out yet. I hear there's good money to be made by running away!
Did he really say that??? Please tell me he said that!
Gone to Gitmo to gather dirt to salvage the sinking Rat ship.
(my guess)
lol!
She's the "runaway reporter"
Uh, sorry, wish he had, but that was just my little attempt at humor. They did show a clip of him plagiarizing Neil Kinnock, which was nice. By the way, the sheer ego and ambition emanating from him in the clip of his announcement for the '88 nomination was startling.
Between the $900K per condo in California and $500 million to a nutcase, one has to wonder has everyone lost their minds?
Oh and golly Biden throwing his hat in the Presidential ring, be still my heart LOL (sarcasm).. who cares? Okay is there anything serious going on in the world that would really be news?
Watch it watch it you could be describing "the next president of the United States" better known as "scumbag's scumbaguette", dba Hillary!
I do believe it's $500,000 not $500 million. Still, she comes away a winner, which seems unfair.

Oh come on--it's Joe Biden! What did you expect? Modesty? :-D
As much as folks would like to see her disappear, I don't think she's going anywhere.
*LOL!*
"Coming up next: Global Warming and Gulags; how the Bush failure to ratify the Kyoto Accords adds to the torture..."
There is something seriously wrong with our culture when the Runaway Bride is offered half a million for her story, and yet those who do heroic things, like the Special Forces in Afghanistan, get zero coverage, let alone a book deal.
Did he really say that??? Please tell me he said that!
File that under "Things I would love to hear him say, I need a good laugh"! :-)
In related news, Chris Botti, famed jazz trumpeter and the former boyfriend of Katie Couric, whom she dumped via telephone to go back to her married boyfriend, is now dating the plastic nutjob Lisa Gastineau.
I stand corrected :)
Not sure what the P might stand for - pumps? - but the FM is exactly what I had in mind ;-)
LOL
