Finally! Katie's Perfect Sign-Off!

Who remembers when Katie Couric launched her version of "The CBS Evening News"? No? Yeah, it didn't get much attention, you probably missed it. Anyway, when the time came for her to sign off — the most important part of the broadcast! — she wasn't sure how to do it! So she peeped a few expert versions, asked for viewer suggestions, tried a few out on Letterman, and road-tested a few on the air. Finally, she settled on the chipper but unremarkable "Thanks for watching — I'll see you tomorrow. Good night." It's no "Courage," but it served its purpose nicely.

Well, you can't rush greatness — sometimes, greatness has to be thrust upon you after having an impromptu clip of you goofing in front of the cameras with your crew released onto the internet. When that happens, you belong to the masses — and the masses have spoken. By an overwhelming majority, they have made their choice, and found Katie's perfect sign-off: "This Tart is Ready to Go!" You want gravitas? That, my friends, is gravitas.

also, Dan Rather was really fired because he remarked that WTC 7 looked just like a controlled demolition.

Why are you picking on her? Got nothing important to do?

in the clip, she offhandedly remarks, "I'll get in trouble" for making fun of Rather or something like that.

although said offhandedly, it seems very telling.

the journalist who didn't want to get in trouble.

"Anchorwoman-ish"? Perfect! Fits right in with her job of reporting "truthiness".
Gotta admit - she's adorable. But, then, I don't watch any network TV news shows. Just can't stomach the stories of death and destruction emanating from pearly-white smiles. (Almost, but not quite as disgusting as that guy who smirks whenever talking about war, "suiciders" and "evil-doers".)
