Meow, Kitty!

NY Post columnist Andrea Peyser gives Katie Couric a first class asswhooping (sorry for the coarse language, but that's what it is) for her tortured debut behind the CBS Evening 'News' anchor desk. A sample:

Her face was Botoxed beyond normal human endurance, proving that even pampered, overpaid news babes possess the courage to suffer for their art.

And for the first time in history that a female was allowed to deliver a network's evening news alone, Katie chose to wear an unfortunate white blazer - the result, no doubt, of some jokester lying to her face when Katie asked, "Does this make me look fat?"

And the day after Labor Day, to boot!

For this they pay her a reported $15 million a year?

The best that can be said about Katie Couric was that she did not trip over her 5-inch stiletto heels when she toddled across the floor of the set, crossing her bare legs like some ridiculous tramp.

The worst that can be said about Katie is that she did not fall flat on her face - which would have provided a much-needed break in the tension.

Bravo, Miss Peyser. That is speaking truth to power.
