But what about that catchy song about America’s first family?

April 6th, 2006

First, Al Roker goes and loses 300 pounds and now this.  Has anybody really thought this through?  We aren’t going to be able to see those cute Katie legs underneath the CBS news desk! No cute Katie hats!  No cute Katie coats out on the plaza!  It’s just going to be Katie, trapped in a business suit behind the big, bulky CBS desk, reminding us ONCE AGAIN that we still haven’t found Osama Bin Laden. 

Katie, do you think we really watch you because of your stellar news reporting?  We watch because we’re waiting for Matt to leave his wife already and sweep you off your cute little Katie Choo pumps!  (Or at least take you on as a polygamous wife.)  You’re America’s first family mother-figure, for crying out loud!  You think you can just ditch us after 15 measely years?  Did I ditch you, Katie?  Even when you had that hideous haircut in the early nineties? 

No, Katie, I’m still here.  Well, at least when I’m home sick or on vacation.  And happen to remember to turn the TV to your channel.  Actually, I haven’t watched you regularly since sometime in 1999.  Come to think of it, I’m really not that vested in where you end up.  You know what, Katie?  Go where the wind and the $15 million take you.  It makes no difference to me whatsoever.  Except for when I’m sick or on vacation, in which cases, I will just have to console myself with extra doses of Elmo and Judge Judy…
