I don’t think you know the meaning of meltdown.

“A rapid or disastrous decline or collapse.”

From anyone who’s ever had airtime suddenly become “nothing on the air time”, you’ll get more sympathy than jokes. In the words of Richard Pryor; “That’s some scary s**t!” It’s rare to see everything go completely up at one of the networks, but let’s be fair, guys…When Couric did her sign off, you can be sure she was getting the “wrap-up” hand signal instead of the “stretch”. Someone behind the scenes made that decision, and the decision was “punt”…And fill in with promos. The producer and control room team will spend a long meeting explaining that decision to Miss Katie; who was standing on that set like it was the bridge of the Titanic.

And until the little red light went off, no life boat was coming.

Hey Katie, penny for your thoughts….

I’m starting to believe this was PLANNED. It’s not as entertaining as ladies room stall talk, but it does have a way of getting exposure. How else are they gonna get on UTube?

With Thanksgiving coming up she could EASILY have done 150 seconds of how thankful we should be for all the blessings in this country. Oh, wait… libs aren’t thankful for anything.

You always have to have a “go-to-hell” plan. When everything gets completely screwed up you have to have something up your sleeve that you can pull out.

These people are imbeciles.

I don’t care enough to google up her salary but shouldn’t someone figure out the cost per minute?

First time I’ve seen a clip of Katie on her new set. OMG, what a bunch of pompus self-important music; I thought I was getting ready to watch the Olympics!

Yeah, the rub with these keyed-up fanfares they like to play, the ones that blast the theme “important occasion!” over & over again, is that they only work in small doses; anything more and they become a self-parody. Oops…

I hate to defend Couric, but I didn’t see any meltdown. No tantrum, no kicking someone, no yelling, just a bored woman trying to fill in 2.5 minutes over a glitch.

Make no mistake, the authorities will find the bodies of several CBS News employees in abandoned buildings, Bronx alleys, and New Jersey landfills over the next few days. It’ll be just like the montage in Goodfellas. The one with the outro form “Layla.”

…as she shuttles crablike to her office, she’s heard to mutter, “Mr. Demille, I’m ready for my close-up….”

Priceless.

It’s a microcosm of CBS News: boring, useless, vapid, devoid of real content, a waste of time……

Janos Hunyadi on November 22, 2006 at 2:04 AM

Quite right. Even more so than Goldberg described…

It might just be my perspective, but for a moment Katie looked kind of, how to say…….pudgy, and remotely like……..Rosie O’Donnell.

Then I remmebered that there is really no difference between the two shows.

But at least Dan knew that “you can’t make that dog fly in a cat show”……..

You know, CBS didn't really need to fire Dan Rather over the "fake but accurate" problem. There was a much easier solution, they could have simply dropped the "C" in "CBS" and called themselves BS News.

They showed & said at the end “CBS News, see it now, anytime, anywhere”.

What’s the matter with y’all? They didn’t say “hear it now, anytime or anywhere”.

You just know that Dan Rather was sitting at home, wearing a suit with his typed notes in front of him, pretending to still give the news to an empty room…..

That wasn’t a melt down. That was a preview of the Dems policy on Iraq!

It would be hilarious to learn that she went off on the crew for the glitch. Then we’d know her as the Perky Tyrant of CBS News.

You just know that Dan Rather was sitting at home, wearing a suit with his typed notes in front of him, pretending to still give the news to an empty room, and when the glitch happened (or was it a botched segment…heh) he probably began calling everyone he knows to tell them that he, Daniel the Magnificent, could have filled that 2:30 with some gritty, hard-hitting old school news. Then he sat back and tried to convince himself that CBS really, really regrets him being gone.
