Anne Curry for Nightly News??

It was a thought that certainly seemed feasible, given Ms. Curry's sterling performance on Thanksgiving evening as she subbed for regular pitcher Brian Williams. She struck just the right note: supremely confident yet engaging, warm yet magisterial, a formula that has eluded Katie Couric at the helm of the CBS Evening News.(Has anyone but me been tracking the fact that contrary to expectation, Couric still hasn't managed to take CBS out of third?) The only thing I found strange about the whole performance was the costume, a somewhat dykey black suit: but who am I to complain??
Although she seemed absolutely right in the post, my wish for Annie is some sort of political news show- perhaps Sunday morning, or even Saturday night (radical departure). Her intelligence and news savvy demand some sort of worthy outlet, quite apart from the meagre role she is currently afforded on the Today Show.
