And then the YouTube took me to a link with Anderson Cooper trying to spit out the news while schnockered. What's up with these people? I'm all for some tequila shooters, but not While You're Working!
(And the studio people - stuff some pretzels and peanut butter in their mouths, straighten them Out!)
I'd take Katie Couric any day.
(The drunk montage was pretty damn funny, though. Thanks for compiling it.)
The one (big) bright spot is seeing women head two of the three newscasts. Too bad it had to be that woman.
Always remember that Diane got her start working for Nixon. And she liked him so much she continued to work for him after he resigned.
