Katie Couric Caught on Video Mocking Dan Rather

CBS Evening News frontwoman Katie Couric can be seen aping Dan Rather in a new video circulating on the Internet. (Watch it here.) With the camera rolling and as she prepped for a remote broadcast, Couric is seen saying, "I'm going to be like Dan Rather on YouTube," referring to a clip that circulated last month showing Rather fiddling with his overcoat and fussing over his appearance. "Geez, don't you think he deserves a little payback?" Upon completing her shtick, Couric declares, "This tart is ready to go!"  an allusion to dismissive remarks Rather directed at her this past June.What do you think? Did Dan have it coming, or did Katie cross the line of journalistic integrity?
