Katie Couric Admits To Smacking Bitches Up

When one associates slapping with the workplace, there are certain professions that spring to mind. It’s not a gentlemens’ vocation, but surely broadcast journalism doesn’t fall under the career paths of those seeking use of violence over words. Then again Katie Couric isn’t your traditional journalist. If one is so kind as to include Couric in this category.
Regardless, reading in the past few days of her career downturn and all the ugly doings surrounding it, I can’t help but feel sympathy even when I learn about her method of releasing steam (slapping co-workers who say words she finds curiously reprehensible) and her inability to remain confident in the face of harsh criticism directed at CBS Nightly News plummeting ratings. And to top it off having to endure the flagrant wrath of former CBS anchorman/cowardly henchman Dan Rather (once CBS’ own black sheep) jump on the “Let’s Lynch Dumbing it Down, Tarting It Up Katie” wagon just makes me feel plan ‘ol something or other for poor Katie.
Alls she wanted was a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T and some promise she wouldn’t end up in an early grave co-anchoring Dateline and staring at Stone Phillips impeccably buoyant locks everyday pondering why her hair couldn’t withstand the same humidity. Can’t fault a girl for trying to avoid that destiny.
