Daryn Kagan to GMA?

Earlier in the week we sympathized with Daryn Kagan, who "dated" Rush Limbaugh (Eew). We'd hoped that his fetish for that little blue pill -- Viagra -- didn't coincide with her time with the gasbag. No one should have to endure prolonged lovemaking from Rush Limbaugh, no matter how ambitious to get to the middle of the tv news industry(Averted Gaze). It appears Daryn's Herculean labors did not go unrecognized by the higher powers.

According to TVNewser:

"Is Daryn Kagan on ABC's short-list for a new Good Morning America co-host? An e-mailer says 'Diane Sawyer is practically out the door,' so 'Kagan is being considered for both the newsdesk and the host spot...'"

Is Diane Sawyer being sincere, or is this simply another instance of "poised, creamy insincerity"? Granted, Sawyer wanted the World News Tonight anchor desk (And, paradoxically, she wanted Charlie Gibson to have it as well.)Badly. Diane was born to be the ABC Evening News anchor. She would be better at it than Gibson.

But in the end she didn't play hardball.

Just saying.
