75. Mark my words: Blueblood Beijing Burnett will be the next Katie Couric whether we like it or not.

Feb 2013

Corporate suits love conservative, ice princess, unapologetic bluebloods like Beijing Burnett. There's no evidence that she's going to tone her highly partisan Wall Street song and dance act any year soon.

First it's mornings on CNN. Then the big Kahuna - NBC.

Surprised they didn't lap up Maria Bartiromo in her prime. Maybe they found her delivery too annoying for the morning . . . or found her too important a voice to be taken off of "Crap, Nothing But Conservatives".
