So CBS has engaged Uncle Walter to prop himself up in a chair
and introduce Katie the Serious on her first night anchoring CBS
Evening News next week. Nice to know she'll have a support group
around her to make sure she survives all 22 minutes of broadcast
time.
According to Drudge, CBS is promising a "who's who of Americana"
to make a big splash. Who else could be among the hyperlib
glitterati welcoming Katie? Hillary, for sure. Probably McCain as
the token Republican. Will Jimmy Carter be on to flak his new book?
How many of the usual suspects will join in? Maureen Dowd, Harry
Reid, Barbra Streisand, Nancy Pelosi, and Ned Lamont all seem
likely. One face you're sure to not see: Dan Rather won't be
visible anywhere that night, unless it's on Hardball with Matthews.
Let the games begin. I only wish it were tonight. This is going to
be the greatest source of amusement we'll have until Hillary
announces her presidential campaign.
