Of all the talent in the world today, NBC reached down into the depths of the bags and got washed-up Kathie Lee Gifford for the eighth hour of the Today Show.
Even with her paying $1.8 Billion for access to an hour of morning TV, it seems that NBC is hedging it’s bets with a $4.50 buy out if her ratings do not exceed re-runs of Captain and Tennille on Lifetime.

I think (1) thanks for throwing me the bone and (2) it’s “Tennille”. I know this because one of my good blogger friends, Tenille of the Secret Evil Blog, spells it differently.
Gretchen’s last blog post..Empty Nest.
@Gretchen: You are on quite a tear today aren’t you! Boolie on your mind!
Doesn’t entice me to watch - just like Oprah “stumping” for Obama - would make me vote against him!
Your last post makes me queezy as does this announcement. We are a sick nation.
nessa’s last blog post..Shhh, Don’t Tell Anyone You’ve Seen Me
@Nancy: I hope in the major markets she goes up against Reege and Kelli and get’s her hat handed to her!
@Nessa: I gotta go with the table-lovin’ man as the sickest between the two posts!
Yeah, I get the idea I’m a real bitch today, so sorry about that. Actually I never got back to sleep after Boolie’s 4 a.m. visit, so that stands to reason.
Kathie Lee, though, = barf-o-matic. I will never forgive that woman for so relentlessly inflicting her stupid children Cody and whoever on the American public. At least I’m smart enough to realize the public doesn’t find my kids as adorable as I find them (despite today’s blog post).
