My First Week - Katie Couric (This is NOT satire!)

[kskiska]

Hi, everyone!

Okay, I’ve been waiting to exhale for some time now…and I finally have!!! Last night was my one week anniversary…and the good news is, I’m still employed! (I think) I’ve had no problem sleeping in until 7 every morning…and I’m really really enjoying my new gig. There’s a lot of excitement here about trying new things, and the people with whom I’m working are terrific-smart and funny and very dedicated to putting on the best product we can. I’m still getting used to the half hour format, but it’s gratifying to see how much we can get in…I so often experience information overload, being able to get a recap of the news summarized and synthesized is something I really like...hopefully some viewers feel the same!

Well, it’s been a whirlwind. I wish I could say that last Tuesday was just another day at the office -- or just another first day on the job – but it was so much more than that. I woke up more than a few times in the wee hours of that Tuesday morning…and to nobody’s surprise, the first day was jam-packed with the excitement and tension that comes with any new job. There were interviews and rehearsals and meetings throughout the day. I felt the usual butterflies in my stomach before the broadcast – actually, the butterflies felt more like gigantic peacocks (but that may have something to do with my last job). For the first time in a long time I actually had the sensation that my heart was going to actually penetrate my chest and end up on the scripts in front of me…it was beating THAT HARD.

Visiting the White House is always a humbling experience. I’m always in awe of the history those walls have witnessed. And I was impressed by the respect President Bush has for the place. He even told one of our producers “Straighten your tie, young man. You’re in the White House.” I loved that.

As the late Karen Carpenter sang, “Close to you”, I mean, “We’ve only just begun.” Wow, how hip am I?

1. OMG, he respect the White House....

But Katie, He disrespects the Constitution....

She is a fucking moron...

[pacalo]

23. It's not that he has respect for the history there, he needs to point out

that he's got the job.

I prefer Bill Clinton's way: Inviting all Americans in to view their house, their history, & making them feel warm & comfortable.

Yes, Katie, show the viewers your bias toward the Bushes, as well as how shallow you really are.

[DRoseDARs]

2. What a bobble head. What is this, her latest MySpace blog entry? n/t

[Joe Bacon]

15. Please tell me that this is from THE ONION, Please!

She can't be this stupid in real life. She just can't be...

[katty]

19. she actually put this 'dear diary' in the public domain?! yuck..

[sandnsea]

3. teehee, giggle giggle

Am I perky enough..

4. Proof that the whole thing is suffering from dementia and delusion..

I actually read your post.

Oohhhh...

[Mabus]

5. Bwahahahahaha

:rofl:

I haven't laughed so hard since I saw Connie Chung's good-bye performance.

[MADem]

6. Well, that was a HOOT--I gotta hand it to Connie

She couldn't sing, but she did it anyway. And she climbed on furniture with APLOMB!!!

Much more decisive than Katie, behind the desk, standing, and then perched on the desk like a sexy schoolmarm at the end of the program.

[cornermouse]

7. Considering the fact that you can get deleted there for nothing

more offensive than saying that you want real news and human interest stories aren't real news...
:shrug:
Why bother? She lives in her very own little bubble just like George Bush. Reality isn't going to touch her.

8. yech

I haven't even seen this twit do a newscast and will make no effort whatsoever to do so.

How far American news has fallen: Dan Rather preempted by the right for telling the truth, replaced by the cotton candy that is Katie Couric.

9. How appropriate from Katie.

Like we would expect a love note in the tradition of a middle school cafeteria from Severeid, Murrow, and Cronkite after their first week in the hot seat.

[Berry Cool]

10. Hello Mudda, Hello Fadda,

Here I am with microphone on-a,
My first week here has been real cool,
Why, it's almost as much fun as junior high school!

Now I get to sleep in till seven,
I can tell you, it's real heaven!
No more waking at four-thirty,
Or changing clothes at nine because I'm dirty!

They're so open to new things here,
They really let me spread my wings here,
Telling news to Grandmaw and Grandpaw,
Yes, I even got to play host to Rush Limbaugh!

Our White House trip was so exciting,
President Bush was so inviting,
I just asked him softball questions,
It was easier than taking dancing lessons!

There's only one thing that is troubling,
That my ratings aren't quite doubling,
To tell the truth folks, they're really dropping,
--Oh leave me alone, I need to go shoe-shopping!

[kskiska]

11. Good one, BerryBush!!!

from someone who remembers Alan Sherman firsthand. :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

12. You're welcome.

Just seemed like a natural.

[ismnotwasm]

14. LOL

That about sums it up:rofl:

[NMDemDist2]

17. excellent parody! n/t

[Rose Siding]

13. She writes as well as Harriet Miers!! No, really!!!!!

[Skittles]

16. precisely why I don't listen to her

she is a vapid piece of shit

[Uncle Joe]

18. Are you sure, this is not satire?

This is too funny.:rofl:

[Vidar]

20. Naked News is more entertaining, and has at least as much integrity.

[RedStateShame]

21. How did CENSORED BILL MAHER ON FREESPEECH skip her mind?

A busy week, indeed.

[shrike]

22. And this woman is an adult?

She sounds about fifteen.

[yurbud]

24. "and then I got appointed to the prom committee so I can make all the..."
