Katie v. Pigeons
And you thought Dan Rather was too weird to be an anchor. Katie Couric, the preternaturally perky co-host of NBC's Today show and the leading candidate to be the next anchor of The CBS Evening News, Wednesday launched a strange and obsessive on-camera discourse on . . . well, pigeon poop.

And you thought Dan Rather was too weird to be an anchor. Katie Couric, the preternaturally perky co-host of NBC's Today show and the leading candidate to be the next anchor of The CBS Evening News, Wednesday launched a strange and obsessive on-camera discourse on . . . well, pigeon poop.
Couric, hosting Today from the Winter Olympics in Italy, alertly noticed that the city has pigeons and decided to score a major scoop by feeding them on the air. But when she held up a handful of bird feed, a bunch of the pigeons ungraciously repaid her with a hailstorm of Pigeon No. 2, also on the air.
"Sometimes you're the pigeon, sometimes you're the statue," observed Couric, an aphorism likely to stand right up there with "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" in the annals of television journalism.

I remember watching Rather report on the 2000 presidential election- it was hysterical! I wrote down a bunch of his comments, but I don't remember them off the top of my head.
