This would've been good

From Tim Graham over at National Review's "The Corner:"

Say Katie! Say Katie! [Tim Graham]
On Good Morning America this morning, ABC's Charles Gibson hammered the CEO of Conoco Phillips with questions from the left. It felt like a 1970s hangover, like Gibson should have been wearing a cardigan, using a southern accent, and worrying about "malaise" for all the talk about obscene profits and windfall profits taxes. Gibson ended by pounding him over his $13 million salary. Unfortunately, said CEO did not respond by using the words "Katie Couric." Or more precisely, "I'm managing tens of thousands of employees extracting energy that allows people to drive to work. Katie Couric's feeding pigeons out of her fancy gloves in Italy wearing a Dolce and Gabbana coat. Which one of us is more vital to the economy?"

For that matter, he probably could've stuck Gibson with the same thing -- Gibson probably manages a handful of interns and makes several million a year. Oh, and Gibson's certainly not perky.
