By: E&P Staff Like seemingly millions of others, Art Buchwald, still writing after being given up for dead months ago, has now weighed in on Katie Couric's pending debut as news anchor on CBS.
In his Washington Post column, Buchwald concluded this way:
"The difference between newspapers and television is that you couldn't care less what a female newspaper reporter looks like when she tells you about a tsunami in Indonesia, fighting in Sudan or the Kentucky Derby. Many of the bylines only give the initials and no one stops to think, 'I wonder who did her hair?' Or, 'She shouldn't wear a navy blue Oscar de la Renta suit.'
"It's interesting, and not very important, that Tom Cruise was fired by Paramount Pictures just before Katie Couric was going to go on the air. I heard, but I can't verify, that they want her to jump up and down on the couch when Tom DeLay goes on trial.
"If we're going to talk about Katie's clothes, I also would like to know where Brian Williams and Charlie Gibson get their suits.
"There's no business like news business."
