Katie Couric: “I Quit This Bitch. Officially.”

April 26, 2011 / Posted by: Michael K

The Alaskan wilderness better go on high alert, because this news is going to make Sarah Palin want to hump a moose (before she shoots it in the face, of course). Katie Couric gave People the news that is shocking to absolutely no one.

“I have decided to step down from the CBS Evening News. “I’m really proud of the talented team on the CBS Evening News and the award-winning work we’ve been able to do in the past five years in addition to the reporting I’ve done for 60 Minutes and CBS Sunday Morning. In making the decision to move on, I know the Evening News will be in great hands, but I am excited about the future.

I am looking at a format that will allow me to engage in more multi-dimensional storytelling. The bottom line is that I love doing all kinds of different stories. I have a lot of areas of interest and I want to be able to fulfill all of that.”

CBS has yet to announce Katie’s replacement, but airing the final season of the Shiba Inu Cam instead of the Nightly News wouldn’t be a bad move. Or they could just air this GIF on a continuous loop.

Yeah, do that.
