...but it means something.

Limbaugh routinely makes fun of Couric. He has lambasted her repeatedly. I heard him discussing
her new role at CBS and he's had nothing positive to say. He chided her comment that they would
provide more than just news...they would also put the news into context. Limbaugh, and several
of his callers ranted big time. They accused Couric of running a circus show that would interject
opinion into the news.

Now...Limbaugh will be a guest.

This is really baffling. It could simply mean that they're looking for a large audience. However,
I truly believe that CBS will attempt to establish Couric as a hard-hitting, credible journalist who
isn't fluff. CBS is worried that men won't take Couric seriously and that men don't want to get their
news from a woman.

I'm guessing that her first days at CBS will be spent trying to feverishly position her as credible
and tough. She's not just cute--she's chipmunk cute--and best known for her "perk." I bet she'll
purposely be tough (but not aggressive) with her interviewees---because CBS knows that a string of
fluffy interviews with big wigs will piss off EVERYONE.

I think there's a bit of promise here. It could be interesting. I predict that Limbaugh will be decimated
seven ways to Sunday.
