Heh, if they didn’t have enough ratings issues, to get the queen bee of Hoof-in-Mouth herself Norah O’Donnell, well that defies explanation. But then they did hire – and fire – Katie Couric.

“Norah O’Donnell, one of NBC’s best-known Washington bureau reporters, is moving to CBS News to be chief White House correspondent, CBS announced.

It’s a stunning shakeup for both the front row of the White House briefing room and for Washington’s intensely competitive network news bureaus.

O’Donnell was also named principal substitute anchor of “Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer.” O’Donnell joined NBC News in 1999 from Roll Call.

Chip Reid, the current CBS chief White House correspondent, will become a national correspondent based in Washington, “with greater editorial range,” CBS said.

O’Donnell and her husband – Geoff Tracy, founder of the Chef Geoff’s restaurants — last year published a baby-food cookbook, “Baby Love: Healthy, Easy, Delicious Meals for Your Baby and Toddler.”

“Norah’s experience on Washington’s top beats—at the White House, on Capitol Hill, and at the Pentagon—will make her a great addition to our growing Washington bureau,” CBS News President David Rhodes said in a statement. “At the White House, on the campaign trail with the President, at the Conventions and into Election Night, we will be even more competitive in our reporting with Norah on board.”

Well, what would be better at this point than a montage of O’Donnell’s greatest misses.

Her she gets that “Emmy Winning” Twitter action when Bin Laden got axed.

Oh like “Oppsie!”

Then there is her “nuance” about why black athletes are – in her words – so good at what they do.

Good luck C-BS.
