Comments on: Video: Katie Couric debuts on the CBS Evening News

By: Girls of Fox News » Green, Hopkins, And Chetry — Da Bombshells! Couric? Uh-uh…

[...] Rightwinged.com got it right in observing — and writing — this about Katie Couric and our beloved Girls of Fox News: Allah made a nice little lowlight reel for everyone, if you can bare it. As I said in the comments at HotAir, the most annoying thing is that her voice is just not suiting for this role. Seriously, even though most of the Fox News foxes are there in large part because of their looks, most of their voices would sound much more authoritative and appropraite for this position. If you can picture Lauren Green’s voice, or Page Hopkins’s voice, even Kiran Chetry’s voice, or any of the dozens of others you realize that even they would certainly sound better [...]

Do you think the white on black outfit was an attempt to look like the CBS logo?

Katie, the Morning After: She Tops Ratings, Womankind is Safe!…

All right, I’ve probably given this too much ink, but I feel obligated to follow up on the Couric posting from yesterday.
Looks like she did well in the ratings, topping ABC and NBC easily, but I imagine that’s the novelty.
Allah provided video,…..

WOW, TALK ABOUT AN EMPTY SUIT. Is just me, or does this woman possess all of the “gravitas” of a beauty pageant winner, formulating a plan for world peace?

Hey, Lawrence, the NYT sure ain’t the NY Post, bro. And there are no other comments worth making once you’ve read the Andrea Peyser evisceration… Whoa.

honora, Rush has a nuanced sense of humor… try listening to him for a while…you’ll catch on.

I was hoping she’d use Ron Burgundy’s better sign off:

Go fu*k yourself America!

Because I think that’s how she really feels.

Legend has it that Savage might get a minute in the free speech segment.

Katie Couric Bombs In CBS Debut. Cue Roker, She’s Dyin’ Out There!…

Let me start off by saying that the photoshop at right has absolutely nothing to do with Couric’s new gig or any critique of it. It’s simply a little more mocking I didn’t get around to during the Couric photoshop……

You know you’re lacking any sort of gravitas when you have to have your audience make suggestions about what you should say on sign off. Lame…but then…we ALL knew that before she started.

This is like Sorority Girl edition of the news. Like, you know?

Hmmmmm…serious news from a “Catie”? Um…nope. A “Katherine”, more like it. (Hi Ms. Ham!)

What? No shot of her legs???

She got that in during her interview with Tom Friedman.

Laura Logan goes behind the enemy lines with the Enemy and this is good journalism. I think Laura Logan is a traitor. I could care less about the Taliban and what they think.

Logan should have given our Military where they were and gave them a heads up on the interview so when she finished we could kill them all.

Do you think that Edwin R Murrow would have gone behind the enemy lines with Japan or the Germans to get their viewpoint?

The MSM are a bunch of traitors IMHO

“Thank You for watching this evening. I’m Katie Couric – still hoping that Saddam makes it safely to Syria”

I didn’t watch her either but her invitation for signoff suggestions was too good to pass up. I’m with Valiant….
I had way too much fun and could have spent the entire day sending suggestions!

[...] Well, as Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes, there is no new thing under the sun. AllahPundit’s Hot Air video recap of Katie Couric’s first night on the job includes the “Snapshots” segment which has an old news clip of Prince Charles as a baby, and segues into the Suri Cruise “story.” At least Prince Charles is a future head of state, and nominally newsworthy. In all likelihood, the best Suri Cruise can hope for is to not be like her parents. She’s not newsworthy at all, except that her parents are lunatics. But there’s a market for that kind of information, and it even includes mostly-innocent bystanders like me. The National Enquirer has gone mainstream, and Weekly World News – if the Democratic Underground, Daily Kos and the Connecticut primary is any indicator – is going mainstream. [...]

I had an interesting thought … isn’t the correct Serbo-Croatian pronounciation of ‘Couric’ more like ‘Courich’? Maybe Dan was just predicting the name of his permanent replacement.

Katie should close her broadcasts by saying “Bethany!”

Hey, guys & gals, let’s go easy on Perky Katie – after all, she’s “America’s Sweetheart!”

Any wagers on how many points CBS Evening “News” ratings are going to fall from yesterday’s spike once people figure out that they’ve got the proverbial, “Bubble-headed bleach blonde, comes on at five?”

Perky Katie is destined to be a ratings disaster for CBS. Here’s a few other people who would have been a better fit for the CBS evening news anchor slot …………

George Clooney
Chuck Schumer
Flavor Flav
Dave Letterman’s Mom
John Madden
Anyone named Walter

Got a kick out of Limbaugh’s website explanation of his appearance. This guy really needs to get out more, and not just to score some hillbilly heroin.

First he whines (read it for yourself, tell me this isn’t whining) about how he got so many e-mails accusing him of God knows what when the announcement of his appearance on CBS News w KC was made–it appears it’s news to Rush that his fan base is shall we say easily misled?

Second, he offers his reasoning: conservatives are such an oppressed minority in this country that he can’t pass up this chance. Well, that speaks for itself.

Third, and this is the homerun, he says he is willing to do it because he will have the chance to express “our” side with “no debate”. Wheee, that was a close one!!!

The only thing I watch on CBS is Survivor. Hmmmmmm …. that could be a new angle for a Survivor series …. news broadcasters.

I know I’m going to piss off everyone, but it has to be said.

THIS MCP(Oink, Oink) thinks that the only reason k.c. is on CBS is the announcement of “Naked News” style broadcasts to begin in a few month’s time.

TAKE YOURSELF OFF, KATIE!

Oh let me just flip over to CBS instead of watching Special Report so I’ll have something stupid and completely irrelevant to talk about on Wednesday…. NOT!

Go Katie, go Katie, it’s her birthday, it’s her birthday…
