When one is the anchorette of a struggling newscast, one cannot be bothered with the travails of the little people.
That’s why Katie Couric did a Harper’s Bazaar photo shoot bedecked in diamonds while 200 her minions at CBS News were being laid off.
Ahhh, the life of luxury as reported by Harper’s Bazaar:
Today, three weeks shy of 53, Couric looks tomboy terrific, that barely-made-up face betraying zero surgical workmanship, the fabled legs making those giant strides for women in black leather riding boots. She’s been sitting here in her office, with its gentle lighting and creamy beauty-salon palette, answering e-mails and working up a 60 Minutes profile of White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, trying to get Rahm and his brothers, Hollywood talent agent Ari and bioethicist Zeke, into the same room together, mix-mastering impossible schedules, herding egos.
…
She’s still rocking a young look, thanks to tennis once a week, Spinning, yoga, Pilates. She’s a little bored with Pilates, which she started up three years ago to help calm her back. Like most of American womanhood, she wouldn’t mind if she were taller, with thinner thighs. She doesn’t deny she believes in Botox: “I think if you want to do some tweaks here and there, there’s nothing wrong with that.” High-definition television has been kind to her, she says. “I think the fear factor of high def was overblown,” she says, but adds, “I think God has a wonderful way of making your eyes start to go as your face does. I really can’t see very well. Up close? Like in the mirror?” She giggles drily. “I always worry after I’ve done my makeup that I’m gonna look like What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?”
Katie makes $15,000,000 per year. The 200 people being laid off make an average of $75,000 per year, which is equal to…you guessed it…$15,000,000.
Katie better hope they didn’t lay off the guys in charge of make-up and soft lighting.

Bored with Pilates, eh? Poor kiddo. God help me I loathe these pampered prigs!
BTW, what is a bioethicist?
Let them drink kool aid… less is more from CBS, you got $2.5 million for a 30 secnond SuperBowl ad… so will those be saved jobs for more cronies?
viscously ambitious and ready to kill for her squishy liberal views, Katy has always been a chocolate covered scorpion.
Ugh!
Yes, I do realize this article was about her, but what a puff piece! I’m sorry, I just can’t take her or any female quasi-journalist seriously when they are vamping for the camera especially with that ‘come hither’ pose. It’s not about you! You are supposed to report the news, NOT be the news. I guess if she wants to show the world her great legs and bod, she should get an acting/modeling gig.
I think her hair is less than flattering as well as the Beetlejuice Eye Makeup! And she needs to lay off the Botox ‘tweaks’…she’s developing the Nicole Kidman Ice Princess look.
CBS gets punked by the WHO at the SuperBowl halftime… Who Are you? and We Won’t Be Fooled Again..
I can’t stand her. It does seem as if people are fired to make enough room for her salary that she doesn’t deserve. I bet she is all for socialism too which of course just shows how hypocritical she is.
KQ, I don’t care for Couric either. BTW, I’m assuming she is a socialist as well. But remember what I said about this…SOCIALISM IS FOR EVERYBODY, EXCEPT THE SOCIALIST. It’s for us slobs who mean nothing, you know, the little people. She’s important, & she should not have to submit to the rules of socialism she would agree we must live under.
