Katie Couric may never win the ratings, but who cares? She just took home a coveted Cronkite Award (which we assume is called a “Wally” by TV insiders).
Couric’s Wally was presented for “her revealing, multi-part interview of Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.”
The Wallies are awarded twice each year by the USC Annenberg School for Communication. They are named in honor of Walter Cronkite, once known as “the most trusted man in America.”
Couric won her award in the category “Special Achievement for National Impact on the 2008 Campaign.” Judges said the interview was a “defining moment in the 2008 presidential campaign.” But they didn’t stop here. No siree, Bob. They also called it “extraordinary, persistent and detailed.”
Other winners included ABC’s George Stephanopolous, who eked out a narrow win in the category “Best Achievement in Hair” and CBS’ Bob Schieffer, who took home a Wally in the category “Most Likely to Keel Over Dead In the Middle of a Story.”
All in all, it was an exciting evening for one and all.

“Katie, you’re not the center of everybody’s universe” …..Sarah Palin
Katie winning the Wally, is like a ten year old winning the “worlds greatest kid trophy” from his mother.
But, Katie didn’t reveal the TRUTH about Palin! doesn’t that matter……..?
Oh, man, I keep forgetting. No, it sure doesn’t. She slammed a Conservative…even HUMILIATED her! “CRONKITE WOULD APPROVE, KATIE..here’s your award!” )@$&*(#&
Eff Katie.
