OMG!!! OMG!!! I AGREEE with a FOX NEWS Contributor/Employee!!
Oh not too suprising as Lis Wiehl had some kind (er?) words for Katie Couric's Debut than some folk:
The burning question of the week: Can “America's Sweetheart,” Katie Couric, transition from cooking and colonoscopies to hard news reporting? After three months of extreme hype, Couric finally made her evening news debut. And her detractors are still deciding if this cheery blond is tough enough (read: man enough) to take the helm of a serious news program. Sharks have been snapping at everything from the color of her hair to the length of her skirt. (For those of you wondering, she wore a mid-length black dress and white fitted jacket on her first night). Critics have been kinder to Vieira, saying she's established and well-respected in the field — but keep in mind she's replacing another woman, not taking over for a leading man.
As a woman of a “certain age,” I applaud the promotions of Couric to evening news anchor and Vieira to the “Today Show.” In a society where men over 40 are considered worldly and distinguished, but women of the same age are considered passé, these changes are a step in the right direction.
And as is known, I have already decided that I like Katie for being FEMALE and PRETTY as hell, the news is usually ugly enough, might as well have a pretty face and voice to deliver it.
And she does come across as smart enough . . . to read the news at least. Shit. I think about some of the idjits on cable now adays who make me think a toy dog might well be smarter than them and Katie looks very smart next to the competition.
Anyway it is FUN to agree with a FoxNews broadcaster for a change.
