When he's not obsessing over bird flu, mad cow disease, or chronicling the administration, Matt Drudge busies himself with collecting insider media news.

Today, he reports that CBS President Les Moonves absolutely wants Katie Couric to anchor the CBS evening news. But, not everyone is cheering like a frozen Today Show fan.

• "Politely put, it's just not there," warned a top CBS suit, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

• "Look, why do you think NBC passed her over for Brian Williams? They can say she was worth more to them in the mornings, but I really think it came down to how she came off in the [anchor] chair.

• "She is not identified with CBS, and she is not identified with 'news'… it will be an uphill challenge for her here. Maybe Les will have her doing the news on a couch."

They forgot the fact that she's a flippant airhead. But, Les doesn't really mind. According to Drudgie, he is "fully prepared to offer Couric the anchor chair at CBS, plus a rotating seat at 60 Minutes. Wowsah, we were not expecting that one.

But look, everybody. CBS is 600,000 viewers away from catching and passing ABC, and Moonves will whore out whoever he has to in order for that to happen, ok?. So take off your "I hate Les Moonves" t-shirts, shut your mouths, and start preparing your I heart Katie posters.
