In between Katie strangely insisting she’s not really like Hillary any more than Charlie Gibson is like Mitt Romney and the recounting of her hip tossing the S-bomb at Whoopi Goldberg and her Pussycat Dolls cell-phone ringtone, I just stopped at this frustrating passage:
While she refutes widespread rumors that she’s going to jump to 60 Minutes, Couric does plan to ramp up her production there, with the intention of doing eight-to-ten [sic] segments in the coming season. This summer, for instance, she’s interviewing former CIA operative Valerie Plame for an exclusive in the fall, tied to Plame’s tell-all published by Simon & Schuster.
Sigh. Do you think anyone at 60 Minutes could come up with a fresher angle than another Bush-bashing-book blockbuster — published by CBS’s corporate cousin? If he’s such an irrelevant lame duck, why do they still pummel him? Expect Katie to play up Valerie as a mother of adorable twins who also happened to be the greatest American spy since Secret Squirrel.
