Lauer on Limbaugh's Michael J. Fox attacks: "Didn't Rush Limbaugh just say what a lot of people were privately thinking?
"
Summary: NBC Today co-host Matt Lauer suggested that when Rush Limbaugh "said perhaps Michael J. Fox was exaggerating or faking these effects of Parkinson's disease" in a recent campaign ad, Limbaugh was "just say what a lot of people were privately thinking." Also on Today, radio host Laura Ingraham baselessly claimed that just because people are "unhappy with the current situation" in Iraq "doesn't mean you redeploy as John Murtha says or John Kerry or most of the Democrats"; in fact, polls have shown that Americans overwhelmingly favor withdrawing from Iraq.

3. sorry Matt, I wasn't thinking that

asshat

[LSparkle]

4. No, Matt, what everyone is thinking is WHY ARE YOU GETTING DIVORCED?

Are the tabloid rumors of you either cheating on or beating up your wife true???

[xultar]

6. Matt is gay and frustrated.

[kurth]

5. Lauer is a well-known RW lapdog

Lauer to author Suskind: "(B)y talking about" DHS inadequacies, "don't you risk emboldening our enemies"?

7. Sure, Matt, because YOU and Rush are good buddies you think alike.

People with critical thinking skills and compassionate hearts who also know what an asshat Rush is, would NEVER have thought for ONE SPLIT SECOND what you and Rush thought.

[Kber]

8. Matt sure has a low opinion of his audience. nt

[rodeodance]

9. leave me OUT of your Everybodies!

[chaumont58]

10. I don't watch the Today Show, but from what I hear about the 'stars'

why does any Democrat ever watch that shit? Gluttons for punishment? Fuck all of NBC.
Michael J Fox is faking it? Sweet Jesus, Matt Lauer needs to get a life that doesn't involve sucking repuke dicks.

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

11. Matt Lauer is a nincompoop. n/t

[mindfulNJ]

12. Not really Matt...

only insensitive asses were thinking that.:wtf:

[xxqqqzme]

13. is that lauer's audition tape

for 'news for dumb fux'?

[peace13]

14. Fox is 10,000 times the man Lauer will ever be.

The Today Show is a fine collection of self masturbating egos! Peace, Kim

15. Lauer exposed himself for the slimebag that he is.

I truly think this is a gift. The people who support Rush and try to excuse his INEXCUSABLE behavior are "outing" themselves as people deeply lacking in CHARACTER and INTEGRITY. I wonder how Meridith V. feels about having her cohost say these things considering her husband has a life-threatening illness of which he is physically handicapped. I'm certain Matt's comments (perspective) went over like a LEAD balloon. Asshole.

22. I agree with you. And not just on this issue, but on the whole gamut.

Pukes are outing themselves right and left trying to cover for each other, it's a very good thing for the rest of us.

When I find out someone I know supports bushco I do not look at them the same way.

[skygazer]

16. Um... no Matt, that's not what I was thinking

Have these people no shame?! :wtf:

[donco6]

17. It never crossed my mind.

Why would it?

[Red Right and BLUE]

18. I was thinking about where your bald spot used to be, Matt. nt

[Lurking Dem]

19. If only Lauer would say what *I* am thinking.

Then he would never work in broadcasting again.

[Bake]

20. OK, now it's Matt and Rush BOTH who need to get PD

And then let's see if "it's just what everybody's thinking."

Bastard.

Bake

[w4rma]

21. Nope. Fox's medicine makes him shake *more* but helps him live longer. (nt)

[eppur_se_muova]

23. Uh, Matt ? ... NO !!!

Maybe "a lot of people" YOU know are that base, but most people with a heart would not harbor such cruel suspicions. Shades of Bob Dole's 'He wasn't hurt that bad' crack about Kerry!

"{T}hree Purple Hearts and never bled that I know of. I mean, they're all superficial wounds."

Is sheer heartlessness some sort of essential qualification to be a Republic ?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

24. Who?

Downhill........
