Speaking to CBS affiliates in Vegas yesterday, Katie Couric predicted that “the ‘pretentious era’ of the evening-news anchor is going to be a thing of the past.” The dictionary says one definition of “pretentious” is ”Making or marked by an extravagant outward show.” Didn’t this woman just sit at the center of a wildly extravagant three-hour tribute to her greatness on Wednesday morning? And to get up the next day, and say this? This, from the woman who tries to do the tough interviews in the ridiculously serious cat’s-eye glasses?
