Katie: All Dolled Up and Serious

Could it be a plot by NBC? Cuz if we wanted to, say, make ABC’s Charlie Gibson look a little less serious-news-like before he went to another network’s evening news, we’d find as many pix of him as we could doing things like dancing in goofy outfits and jumping up and down exuberantly.

OK, Katie Couric can also ask tough questions, as we saw in the Today show tribute this morning when she asked Colin Powell, Hillary Clinton and other heavies, “You’re not going to answer the question, are you?” But was that really “The Way We Were” playing at the end of a piece on her interviews with disfigured victims of tragedy?

Maybe it’s all unfair and Brian Williams wishes he could get dolled up in petticoats or weep on air.
