Fumbling the Big One

"Karl Rove -- the architect, the one-time senior White House adviser to President Bush -- walked into the lion's den Tuesday night to argue that his former boss is not the worst president of the past 50 years," the Washington Times reports.

And, in case you thought that network anchors are judged solely on their journalistic skills, this breaking news from the Daily News:

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it, Katie.

"Just when Katie Couric was hitting her stride, she tripped up Monday night -- with a hair-raising new look that put the 'ew' in the evening news.

"The coif, a boyish pixie cut that channeled some of Hillary Clinton's bad 'do days, was a striking departure from the signature bob viewers associate with the 51-year-old anchor.

"The dramatic chop did little to flatter and even caused Couric's face to appear different. Sideswiped bangs -- that shifted throughout the newscast -- first made one eyebrow arch menacingly, then hid it altogether."

No word, somehow, on the Gibson and Williams coifs.
