Too little spice in this Curry

Curry: Bland
Ann Curry, who's talent, she thinks, cannot be denied, commented on her debut in Forbes' 100 Most Powerful Women list: "What I hate more than any other [stereotype] is this idea that a woman can only be successful because she somehow connived or engineered her rise. That she could not rise simply because she was too good to be denied. That irks me."
   What irks me on the is her blandness,  faux concern, compulsive "empathetic"  touching of co-hosts and interviewees, and fatuous links like "such a sad story, Matt."   There's an obvious reason why ratings have fallen since Meredith Vieira left: Curry's lack of spice.
