NBC fires Matt Lauer after complaint about ‘inappropriate sexual behavior,’ “My honey, my baby don’t put my love upon no shelf. She said “Don’t hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself.”
NBC was aware” of the reporting, Wagmeister tweeted. “There are multiple women we’ve spoken to with far-ranging accusations against Lauer. The power of journalism has never been more evident with this cultural change.”
It’s not like either talking head’s political affiliation is a state secret, but it’s still interesting to hear it admitted to on the air.

In the middle of a discussion with the Today Show’s Matt Lauer, Tom Brokaw says, “A Western Governor said ‘We’re losing independents. He’s a Democrat – from our party.”
We tried to give Brokaw the benefit of the doubt by asking ourselves if he could have meant something else. For example, was “He’s a democrat” simply a poorly-placed independent clause? No. That makes no sense. If you remove that clause, you end up with “We’re losing independents from our party.” Obviously, that wasn’t the meaning, because if they’re independents, they’re not Democrats.
So the only remaining conclusion is that Brokaw was, in fact, admitting that he and Lauer are Democrats.
Watching all those old black and white Perry Mason reruns has really sharpened our powers of observation and deduction.
And, by the way, Della Street was kind of hot, wasn’t she?
Nutty Sara Jane Moore, who attempted to assassinate President Gerald Ford back in 1975, has been paroled after spending 32 years behind bars. But she’s still nutty as the proverbial fruitcake.
Matt Lauer interviewed her on the Today Show and had this exchange:
Matt Lauer: And to people who say, briefly if you can, Ms. Moore, someone who attempts to assassinate a President of the United States should never see the light of day again, how do you respond?
Sara Jane Moore: Well, I’m going to go to the Obama thing. We have a Constitution in this country, and we have laws. And those laws are not just, everybody thinks they’re for me, but she, oh, we shouldn’t…We have laws, and regardless of who you are, there are conditions to be met for me to be paroled. I met those conditions. If you have a country of law, if you have a Constitution, it has to apply to everybody, not just to people you like.
What did her odd Obama remark mean? We’ll never know because Matt Lauer never followed up with another question for clarification.
Well, if Timothy Geithner can commit willful tax fraud for years and still be appointed Secretary of the Treasury, there’s every reason to think Moore 32 years in prison qualify her for an equally prominent role in the Justice Department.
We’re confident that “the Obama thing” was her way of hinting that an appointment is imminent.

Miss California Carrie Prejean, who most agree lost the Miss USA 2009 title Sunday Night because, in response to judge Perez Hilton’s question on gay marriage, claimed that marriage should only be between a man and a woman, defended herself on The Today Show this morning. Matt Lauer gave her a chance to revise her answer. No revision necessary, she says:
“The way that I answered might have been offensive … but for me, it was being biblically correct.”
Now this is a strong woman. More of a woman than Ms. Perez Hilton can ever hope to be.
The economy has dealt a vicious blow to one of Matt Lauer’s coolest perks.
No more gallivanting around the world during the Today Show’s annual “Where in the World Is Matt Lauer?” promotion. It’s been axed by producers who say the extravagant trip sent the wrong message in today’s tough economy.
The new plan calls for Lauer to spend five days trudging around “affordable” vacation spots in the United States.
If the Today Show really wants to save money, here’s another idea: Have Lauer stay right in New York and broadcast directly from his home.
Instead of lounging on the beach in the Seychelle Islands, he can lounge on his couch. Instead of dining at fine restaurants in Paris, he can eating pork and beans out of the can while standing at the kitchen sink. Instead of sleeping in five star hotels, he can catnap in a La-Z-Boy recliner in his den. Instead of interviewing exotic foreigners, he can interview his illegal Guatamalan housekeeper.
That’s what Hollywood types call riveting TV.

Sarah Palin documentarian John Ziegler stopped by the Today Show last week just long enough to figuratively whack Matt Lauer up the side of the head.
In the mental equivalent of a wrestling “Death Match,” Ziegler pinned the host to the mat in record time. Lauer was forced to admit that the portrait the media had painted of the Alaska governor as an “idiot” was “a lie.”
“I don’t think that everybody in the media ran out saying, ‘Sarah Palin is an idiot,’” Lauer protested. ”Nevertheless, Ziegler eventually wheedled a confession out of Lauer and promote his new film ‘Media Malpractice.'”
“Wait a minute,” Ziegler answered, “I urge people and I urge you, Matt, because you’ve been up to Wasilla. You know Sarah Palin. You know that this is a lie that she’s some sort of an idiot or a moron.”
Lauer resisted, but eventually submitted and admitted that the portrait the media painted of Palin didn’t exactly match reality.
Now we want to see Ziegler take the same approach and grill Lauer about news nymphet and former Today Show host Katie Couric.
We suspect he would be much quicker to agree that she’s an idiot.
Turns out we hate the media more than ever on Super Bowl Sunday.
That’s because Matt Lauer achieved what medical experts have always
considered to be anatomically impossible by interviewing President Obama’s
while his lips were firmly planted on the president’s butt.
Sadly, NBC turned a 12-minute portion of its programming over to Matt Lauer and President Obama for a little Super Bowl pre-game propaganda.
Had the interview had been strictly about football, it might have seemed
more reasonable. But it strayed rather quickly into an opportunity for Obama
to discuss the war in Iraq and his economic stimulus package.
Does anyone recall a similar cloying interview with President Bush prior to
earlier Super Bowl games?
We don’t.
CBS news anchor Katie Couric not only scored the first interview with the pilot who brought his airliner down in the Hudson River, but snatched it away from her former “Today” show co-host Matt Lauer.
Lauer had been promised the first interview. Then pilot “Sully” Sullenberger was asked to delay interviews until after the investigation of U.S. Airways Flight 1549’s water landing was completed.
“What Captain Sullenberger did in the cockpit on Flight 1549 was heroic and admirable,” said an NBC News mouthpiece. “Unfortunately, people close to him have not acted nearly as admirably over the past few days. They gave us their word, and then broke their commitment.”
When told of the Couric’s scoop, ABC’s aged Barbara Walters reportedly said, “You call that a scoop? I’m interviewing Sylvester Stallone this week. I’m asking the tough questions like , ‘If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?’”
