    Couric, Lauer

This just in: Katie Couric to anchor the CBS Evening News.

This is great. Pundits wondered if she'd have the "gravitas." This was code for asking whether a female would be accepted by the public in that role. Same as whether women would be taken seriously as doctors, police, um....Supreme Court Justice. You name it.

The CNN anchor women paved the way -- they've been holding down the main news desk for decades, since the First Gulf War and Bobbie Batista with her cockeyed looks and plenty of gravity. That was some serious news then and she held our attention just fine.

More later...
