Before we get into Katie, has anyone else noticed that post-Imus, all these media shows, including CBS, have returned to mostly white talking heads. So what, we only get trotted out when the issue is race??? We digress - our bad!
After that John Edwards debacle, I knew it was just a matter of time for Miss Couric - even if the others here didn't agree.
Here is the story. Click here to find out who are Katie's CBS enemies.

We're Not All In Agreement On This But Trust Me, It’s Coming.
She's Outta There!
Yeah, that's right - I said it.
Katie Couric's interview with John and Elizabeth Edwards on 60 Minutes was a DISASTER! Already trailing ABC and NBC in the evening news race, CBS got hit with over 600 negative emails. Ouch!
So what did we learn - insight to the type of presidency Edwards has to offer - ahhh, no! What we learned is don't piss off cancer survivors. These folks are all about beating the big "C" and continuing the journey, not being a burden.
When you ask the tough questions - you gotta be direct, "Are you trying to garner sympathy and votes by having your wife continue in your 2008 White House campaign?"
Don't be a weenie like Katie - asking the same question 16 different ways and always beginning the question with deflecting preambles like, “Critics say…”, Your detractors question … Some would say …, Some would believe … Others say...”
Katie we know your own husband died of cancer, so you have the credibility, maybe not the ratings, but credibility - yes.
And listen, if ya’ going down, at least go down a journalist, not some unforgetable, desperate "host".
