Does Katie Couric have pictures?

Why and how does Katie Couric get so much ink and airtime? Matter of fact, when's the last time Katie Couric mattered?

All I know is ever since Couric left the Today Show and migrated to the CBS News, she's been an abject failure, like, oh, about 5 years and $60 million dollars abject failure, yet even now her very next move is already the focus of almost everyone in the business.

Is she headed back to NBC? Will she replace Larry King on CNN? Hell, the only thing we haven't seen is if Major League Baseball is considering her to be the next baseball commissioner. (Don't rule it out)

You begin to wonder. Does Katie Couric have pictures?

She anchors a perennial third-place news program that nobody watches anymore and hasn't seen any form of nighttime ratings success since the days of early Dan Rather and latter-day Cronkite. And just to say thanks for being such the prized talent we sought so hard to get you on our air, here's $12 million a year to chew on, Kate, for your next trip to Bloomingdale's.

Just imagine if her high priestess of modern-day TV news actually delivered some winning ratings? Then what would she make! Jeff Zucker would have to sell one of his mansions just to get her to return a phone call.

Like I said, she has to have pictures.
