Should Katie Couric be sent into outer space?

Perky Katie Couric now has her own Youtube channel: youtube.com/user/KatieCouric

Her latest addition to the online manifestation of her presence in our lives is entitled "My Shuttle Ride". I thought for a moment that it would be about a plan to send her on a trip on the Space Shuttle, perhaps for a long stint on some sort of orbitting platform or other. Unfortunately, the "shuttle" reference was just about the New York to DC shuttle, which she had taken in order to interview Hillary Clinton. That no doubt extremely hard-edged segment will be shown tonight.

In the video she's putting on her face with her makeup assistant sitting next to her. While videos like this humanize her, the fact remains that her output isn't anything approaching real journalism. Perhaps for her next flight she might consider a different kind of assistant: one who can think up difficult questions and encourage Perky Katie to ask them.
