Drudge (sorry): Limbaugh will appear with Katie in first week -- her idea
BUSH, CLINTON, LIMBAUGH, CRONKITE TO LAUNCH COURIC

**Exclusive**

Plans for the opening week of CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC have surpassed network executives' wildest dream: Presidents Bush and Clinton, radio king Rush Limbaugh and broadcast legend Walter Cronkite have all agreed to appear, a CBS insider reveals!

A top network source says scheduling of "guest editorials" are still in flux.

But the addition of Rush Limbaugh to the CBS EVENING NEWS is bound to generate maximum commotion and tune-in hits.

"It was Katie's idea to bring Limbaugh in," a top CBS source said on Sunday. "She is very excited he has agreed to appear."...

2. It does not surprise me in the least that
this is Katie's idea. I have seen her sneer at Dems. She will not sneer at Limpballs.

3. Perhaps it was her boyfriend's idea
Edited on Sun Sep-03-06 07:45 PM by BerryBush
You know, the Bush backer.

on edit: You know, the wonderful guy who got engaged to Laura Ingraham and then dumped her not long after she was diagnosed with breast cancer? Yeah, he's a prince.

Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me.

but I won't be watching that night nor any other night now that you made this decision to welcome Rush to your show. I don't forgive or forget these things.

9. Rush Limbaugh is not news he is about hate and lies
Granted, he is very good @ what he does but Rush and his kind
are hate mongers and a cancer to the body politic in America.

I remember his orgasmic glee over Clinton's impeachment as he sold
his followers the notion about how evil Bill was.

10. Oh NO!!! Right-wingers said Katie Couric is a liberal!!!
Therefore, we must have right-wing guests on and beg the forgiveness of right-wingers for choosing her to host.

Katie. I will never ever be caught dead watching you. I have missed you up until now and I hope I can continue to miss you. BLECH, what a waste of money and a good news slot.

My 45 year CBS habit is done.

18. That is about when I started
maybe a few years earlier. Sad and disgusting. Simply outrageous that they would try to pass her off on us. I am delighted that they chose a woman but could they not have found someone else? There are so many. Women like Katie always set us further back. Yup, I am done and I will not even turn it on when she is not anchoring until they do the right thing and hire someone who is capable and not a fluff bunny. :eyes:

53. Not possible to tape there, but for only one reason.
Murrow was cremated. (Perhaps precisely because he didn't want his body to spend all eternity spinning like a top.)

41. Insinuating that Limbaugh has any connection with journalism...
is an afront to any serious journalist. CBS has gutted and destroyed it's once 'robust' news department. Sad, so sad.

42. How long will the media continue to give Limbaugh a soap box?
I won't bother to recount all the times he's disgraced himself and yet they continue to roll out the welcome mat.

Funny, Michael Moore correctly tells us we are about to go into a "fictional war" and he gets blackballed by corporate media.

45. Did she bribe him with Viagra?
Or maybe Katie doesn't remember that Rush keeps getting arrested for his numerous drug idiosyncracies, including Viagra prescriptions that were not in his name.

She has destroyed any possibility that people will take her seriously. I will never watch the CBS Evening News again.

46. Couric could surprise us and be the best thing on network news...if
CBS stays out of her way. I can remember when she did get in their faces and was tough.
For the moment, I'm going to hope that she's going for it.

Can you imagine the ratings CBS could pull?
If Olbermann was not a head's up to all of them, then there's no hope....Any chance he'd run for office?

49. My Email to CBS News
Dear Katie

Was Ann Coulter busy? Sorry, but having the Bush shill of Rush Limbaugh on your premiere week of the evening news has just shot your credibility with this viewer. I'll be tuning out. Maybe you ought to go back and read Edward R. Murrow's commentaries.

DRUDGE REPORT - DANGEROUS & DASTARDLY
http://www.tvnewslies.org/html/dangerous_drudge.html

snip-->

Matt Drudge got his start going through the garbage outside movie
studios looking for tidbits for his Hollywood gossip site. -
He then went political when clever Republicans saw the potential
to use him as a conduit for attacks on Democrats.
