...Diane Sawyer made her debut last night as the anchor of ABC's World News. What in God's name is that? It's about twenty minutes or so of old news wedged between commercials for Viagra and Flomax. You see, older people, i. e., your parents, work all day at computers (and surf the net, or Web, I can never remember which), come home, fix themselves a drink and watch the evening news to hear once again what they already read on the Internet and see footage of the latest flood in Missouri. Sounds weird, I know. (Especially when you consider that your parents mostly talk over the broadcast. "What the President should do...")
Over the weekend my sister was lamenting the retirement of Charlie Gibson. Who? You know, that old guy who won't spring for bifocals that interviewed Sarah Palin once. But at least people get to watch Diane Sawyer now make millions reading from a teleprompter.
And at age 64, she's still worth watching.
