Uhh, I agree...

Paglia on Couric in todays Salon:

And let me take this opportunity to say that of all the innumerable print and broadcast journalists who have interviewed me in the U.S. and abroad since I arrived on the scene nearly 20 years ago, Katie Couric was definitively the stupidest. As a guest on NBC's "Today" show during my 1992 book tour, I was astounded by Couric's small, humorless, agenda-ridden mind, still registered in that pinched, tinny monotone that makes me rush across the room to change stations whenever her banal mini-editorials blare out at 5 p.m. on the CBS radio network. And of course I would never spoil my dinner by tuning into Couric's TV evening news show. That sallow, wizened, drum-tight, cosmetic mummification look is not an appetite enhancer outside of Manhattan or L.A. There's many a moose in Alaska with greater charm and pizazz.

Damnnnnn...I haven't heard that severe of a beat-down since The Donald crushed Rosie.

I always thought Couric was at her level best when they had that camera jammed up her arse during that colonscopy. Despite her horrible ratings and multi-million dollar salary, they still keep her around to read the news.
