Katie Couric's debut as the CBS Evening News anchorperson went off without a hitch last night. Her $15M salary means she'll make somewhere in the neighborhood of $61,000 for each of her nightly appearances. That translates in to about $300 for each of the 200 words she spoke last night. For conservatives, that's a tough pill to swallow because if Couric, a devout liberal, says nothing else but "Conservatives can kiss my ass!" she'll make the equivalent of $12,000 for each of those 5 words.
Couric ask viewers of her broadcast to submit suggestions for her to use as a broadcast sign off. Couric says that until someone suggests something better she's going to use a phrase she most often heard around the offices of 'Good Morning America' and that is "Impeach Bush".
Here are some of the early suggestions Couric has received for her sign off: 'Hillary in 08', 'Remember Abu Graib', 'Save our planet', and the reportedly early front runner 'Adios muchachos'.
In a related story, it's rumored that conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh will appear on Couric's Thursday night broadcast. Limbaugh will be given 90 seconds with which he can talk about any subject he chooses. Conservatives already feeling the betrayal of leading conservatives are betting he won't say anything about the President's plan to merge America, Canada, and Mexico, amnesty for illegal aliens, border security, or Viagra. Maybe Limbaugh will give Couric one of his amusing names like 'Katy Cleric' for her ability to always find something wrong with America.
