Katie Couric has a blog:

Add to that my first piece on 60 Minutes on the illnesses that thousands of first responders are experiencing five years after September 11th. To be a part of that broadcast was needless to say, an enormous thrill. My father called me afterwards and said, “Well, you’re doing what you’ve always wanted to do…reporting for 60 Minutes.” I used to watch the show when I was in high school sitting on the floor in my parents bedroom. I think it’s really what made me want to get into this crazy and wonderful business in the first place. Of course while I was preparing this piece I was in meetings with our producers, going over copy, doing promos, putting my spackle on (it takes a village to make me presentable on television) and helping shape the Evening News. It’s really exciting and really fun. I still can’t believe I’m privileged enough to have this job. One of the first things I said to the crew when we were rehearsing was…”can I ask you guys a question? How did this happen?” The sign off thing has been fun too. The suggestions are great to read, and as I said last night, even Letterman got into the act. Always happy to provide Dave with material! Bob Barker wants me to implore viewers at the end of every broadcast to “have your pets spayed or neutered.” mmmmmmmmmmm…interesting.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...ditzy.

When I read your excerpt, I thought you were linking to a parody, then I saw it was for real. Breathtaking.

Yeah, she sounds a little dumb. Hey, at least she gave a shout out to Bob Barker. He's a cool dude.

C'mon, what do you expect? She's only a newsreader. It's not like the job requires any marketable skills or anything. You need to be attractive, have a good voice and enunciation, and be able to read a teleprompter in real time. Many high school dropouts could do it. The fault lies with those who would think of "news anchors" (Lord, what a pompous title!) as having or needing some special wisdom.

It is a good thing for her that she has no comments on her blog. "The Onion" couldn't parody her drivel.

Bob Barker wants me to implore viewers at the end of every broadcast to “have your pets spayed or neutered.”

So does Mary Meower.

I'm sorry, I don't watch TV, nor read about it in newspapers. Who is Katie Couric?

If she wants to enhance her gravitas quotient, I suggest she drop her playground name of Katie, perhaps in favor of, say, Katherine. I don't recall "Danny" Rather, "Petie" Jennings, "Wally" Cronkite, "Tommy" Brokaw et al, being taken very seriously.

Bruce ~ Now I know why no one ever took "Jimmy" Carter seriously, except, of course, Danny, Petey, and Wally.

She's doing a blog piece about September 11th and manages to prattle on about herself for all of it.

An impressive display of NY self absorption.
