OK I'll say what everyone is already thinking: Matt Lauer is an asshole

[undeterred]

for thinking like Rush Limpballs.

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.

6. ITA..

Mr. Lauer should, but won't, apologize for his comment.

I don't understand why someone who knows probably the bare minimum about the effects of Parkinson's Disease would even have the gall to say what he said this morning.

I very rarely "watch" the Today show, it's usually on just for background noise as I go about my business in the morning. But after that totally moronic comment of Lauer's today, I'll just keep the TV off.

Mr. Lauer you definitely have NO SHAME..

7. Didn't know Lauer said that - but...

I've thought he was an asshole for quite some time now.

11. Hey, Matt. Did that obscene little display get you into Laura's pants?

Because, from what I've read, you're a fucked up little piece of shit who chooses to not control his smegma-infused needle dick and is willingly destroying his own family because of it.

[mitchum]

12. Is he that balding guy with a nose like an anteater?

Yeah, he's an asshole

13. Matt Lauer is why I stopped watching Today years ago

That was several years ago and before I figured out that all of CorpMedia was shilling for Pukes. He was so revolting that I just couldn't stand to watch it.
