Sexy Sarah can't sell Katie Couric
Filed under: TV News > Politik > Katie Couric > Sarah Palin
While the "Palin Effect" has proved to be ratings gold for SNL, it didn't do much for Katie Couric.
Guess people find Tina Fey's Palin a little more entertaining!
Still, the Couric-Palin interview garnered the newscaster and The CBS Evening News some raise in viewership, as modest as it might have been. And, hopefully audience numbers will continue to rise as the interviews with Sexy Sarah was the first in a series of interviews in which Katie asks each of the candidates the same questions.
Katie, who famously left The Today Show and a hefty raise to switch to another television network altogether, has a questionable future on CBS. Ratings for the news program haven't been as healthy since Katie joined two years ago.
In fact, Couric's ratings are down now as opposed to this same time last year!
But, Katie has a another interview scheduled with the now famous Alaskan governor, so here's hoping that as the election draws closer ratings will climb!

Katie blows Moose cock.
Because they both blow mooose cock!
Don't really like Katie. But do watch once in a while.
This is just sabotage! lol This is probably the only woman who could get a hold of the crazy nut! I read somewhere about one of the interviews coming up and actually contrast Sarah Palin answer with Biden to the same question. It's supposed to be the bomb. Can't wait.
…I thought tha getting the news from television was sort of like "Yesterday Once More"…
How many times can you interview a inanimate object?
dont really care, next
I don't know anyone who watched the Palin interview. Couric is so disliked & distrusted that it is no surprise.
thats cuz no one gives a shit about palin!
NOBODY CARES ABOUT SARAH "PALIN AND SIMPLE"
Re: harrybalsac – HAHAHA!
Katie Couric is an idiot. She is a mean person. And the mighty wheel of karma paid her a big visit when she got sweep away from the Today Show to the the evening news. She's toast, her career is done. She went down in shameful flames. Maybe if she is skillful and savvy enough, she can get her behind back on a morning show and salvage what little dignity she has left.
Cause Katie sucks and everyone knows it!
man, ur really fishing to kick the ssme people down OVER and OVER. You knock Katie down every chance you get. MAYBE, just maybe, people like to see Sarah Oalin made fun of and DONT CARE to see the real her, no matter what program she is on! Think what u will, but older people watch those type of news programs and they don't want to see a woman giving them the news.
BOO!
Couric is a has-been. Retire already!! Nobody likes you!!
WOW!
The problem is not with Katie Couric, it's with CBS. NOBODY watches that network. They should advertise more on the web! Get younger viewers there to watch.
Hey you know? Give Katie a break! If it wasn't for her the world wouldn't know for a fact that Palin is an idiot not worthy of the position she postures to win. We the intelligent few knew of course, but the larger less cerebral populace needed convincing. Ah, but alas there are some holdouts. They love unconditionally! They love irrationally. They love illogically.

A VOTE FOR THE FLACCID ONE AND THE SHE BITCH WILL BE A WASTED VOTE.

MCCAIN MORE OF THE SAME
AND YES, MOOSE COCK IN THE MOUTH IS A VERY GOOD ANALOGY.
GOOD ONE BALSAC
Try again dough boy. Her ratings are down because Sucks!!! If ya smelllll la la la what I'm cooking.
Re: sweetpiece – You know Sweetie I just love that snappy little saying you have "McCain more of the same" you spew all over this stupid site. So I guess I've got one also. "Obama is a big Trauma." Definitely is better than your saying
Re: sweetpiece – This person knows what they're talking about.

When they first announced her…aww…how "pretty" she is. Oh look, she's parading around her baby with down syndrome what a mother! (BTW, who will take care of her baby once she's VP?….yea right!) Now, the more interviews she does….the more people see the light….and the more material Tina Fey gets! Woo Hoo!!!
.
.
Obama/Biden 08 baby!!!

I THINK SARAH "DUMBER THAN MT RUSHMORE" P. MUST HAVE SHOWN MCCAIN HER "ROSEBUDS" TO GET HIM TO PICK HER–JUST LIKE ANNA NICOLE FLASHED A BOOBIE TO GET OLD J HOWARD MARSHALL TO SIGN A MORE FAVORABLE WILL!
.
.
BTW, MCSTAIN LOOKS LIKE GRANPA IN "TEXAS CHAINSAW" IN MY
OPINION–OR THE POPE, WHICH IS EVEN WORSE!

AND SARAH NEEDS CLIFF NOTES TO GET THROUGH AN EDITION OF "HIGHLIGHTS FOR CHILDREN."
KISSES,

Katie Couric desperately needs some Chapstick! I can't watch her without thinking how dried out and gross her lips are!
Hey LG!

Re: LordKain – 25 Nice to know you got my back LK!

Re: Leona$ Gho$t – XXXOOO Leona and Sweetpiece. I draw the line at Jermaine. Hehe.
I will not watch anything that has to do with that stupid broad, Palin…she's disgusting and an embarrasment to all women.
what is wrong with her eye makeup??
time for a new
makeup artist katie!
Palin is too embarassing to watch. That's why Couric's ratings didn't jolt. That and the fact that half of America is dumb as shit and supports this retard. Plain and simple, no political comparisons, Palin is a major dim wit. Amazed she ever became a governor.
I thought Katie was kinda dumb as a serious anchor. Now, she and Bush seem a lot smarter.
Re: sweetpiece – well said. I was surprised when the idiots voted for Bush twice, now this. "Idiocracy" is just a movie, or is it.
Katie is trying to make her "bones" on the back of Palin, trying to make Sarah look bad, but now it's backfiring, like I said before.
Katie sucks and is trying to save her ass on CBS because they are ready to get rid of her. Replace her dumb ass with Anderson Cooper and I'll watch every night.
Katie is washed up; even the wonderful Sarah can't bring her show from the depths of hell.
Re: Melissa is always right – Come on Melissa, I have read you before and I have a bright concept of you. I understand appreciation and some level of empathy for your VP choice but she is far away from "wonderful".
I hate Couric's gummy smile, and tiny teeth!!
Katie is over. He leftists ways have caught up to her. Being a snot to Sarah again will not help her ratings. When will these liberals learn that when you alienate over 1/2 your audience your ratings will tank. Bye bye Katie.
I thought Katie's interview clearly illustrated - over and over - how terribly unqualified Palin is.
-
We don't need Ms. 6-Pack running the country on any level.
-
Its time to regain our worldwide reputation - Palin will simply make us the same laughing stock as Bush did.
-
She really has yet to make any statement of "plan" or intent - just that she's a maverick - well, how about you trot on back to the horse farm, Sarah. We need an intelligent leader - not you.
Couric is so out of her element. Google "Peter Principle" and you'll see what I mean.
