In a newly surfaced YouToube clip, Katie Couric shows off her sharp sense of humour while biting back at her number one critic, Dan Rather.
The CBS Anchor was preparing for an outdoor segment during her newscast last week in Nashville when she clowned to her colleagues about a 20-minute YouTube video of Rather obsessed with fixing his overcoat during a similar shoot in Seattle.
This tart is ready to go,” declares Katie anchor in a hilarious sendoff to her straight-arrow and often critical predecessor.

As you may recall, earlier this year Dan took a verbal slap at his former bosses, saying they had “tarted up” the “Evening News” since he left and Katie took his seat.
In the new clip, Couric slaps back.
“I’m going to get in trouble,” she says. “Too bad. Come on, it would have been funny. Jeez, don’t you think he deserves a little payback?”

Dan Rather is nutso. I think Katie does a good job but she’s grossly overpaid. I think the entire medium of “evening news” is becoming extinct anyway. When there are so many 24 hour news channels and the internet why do you need to sit in front of the TV at 5:30 to watch the news of the day?
The Dan Rather clip is funny….what an oaf….
That twat Katie and her gummy grin isn’t nearly as cutesy as she thinks she is.
They both spent an insane amount of time on their coats and collars. Dan talked about it — but Katie spent just as much time pickin’ and tuggin’ at herself. I’m sure at least 20 minutes for her too.
***so many 24 hour news channels***
well, yeah, if you consider the latest freeway car chase; the missing white woman; the latest shark attack or plane in distress — legitimate and useful news. which, sadly, the vast majority of uh-mericans gobbles up.
Seriously nona, are you taking up for the evening news? Are you 80+?
Arasto it looks like you repeated parts of your text twice Arasto.
