And Matt Lauer Shoots Himself Live On Air In 3...2...1


Oh Matt, tell me you had some sick days coming to you while this freak of a Palin gets to hang around all morning on 'The Today Show'. Isn't morning fluff television part of the 'lamestream media' that this fame whore keeps railing about?

Oh and did you see her show how she can laugh at herself with the 'newspaper' gag. HA HA HA. I guess she does read. She's just like the rest of us. She wasn't portrayed correctly in 'Game Change' - she is not a self possessed illiterate nutcase at all.

Can someone tell me why Palin was there in the first place? Hasn't the culture put a stake through the heart of this media vampire, yet? You would think she would only hang around FOX where they keep the Princess suite ready for her 24/7.

Of course in a brilliant bit of counter casting, The Early Show over at CBS booked the 'perky' Katie Couric. You remember her, the actual journalist. I am sure that both networks hoped or a catfight to erupt in the street.

Upon Palin learning that her appearance got slightly better ratings that Couric's she had to take a snarky dig at Katie - who she called 'the perky one'. Stay Classy Sara.

Come on, NBC, have some fucking dignity. This horrible woman takes every opportunity to discredit the profession of journalism, constantly accusing you of bias, bad faith, and bearing false witness, not to mention just "makin' stuff up," and you reward her by feeding her insatiable lust for fame and attention? She's made no secret of her contempt for you, why lend her any of what remains of your credibility?

Bread and Circuses, my friend. That's all it is. She was a political curiosity at one time but now she is just a circus freak like everyone else who gets trotted out on television. Ratings are the coin of the land in the television industry and she brings those. The more outrage she engenders the better.

"Bums on seats, laddie. Bums on seats."

Damn you Caesar, both your entertainments and your salads are my true weakness.

Katie Curic is horrible. I think the Sarah Palin thing was so that NBC could be just as horrible as CBS. Anne Curry now there is a FINE journalist.

hmmm. Html code U is not allowed.

Anne Curry is my favorite kind of curry. Yum!

Today sunk to a new low. I opted not to watch it. Well, I normally don't anyway. But, there was no way I would when they said she would be on. So what if Katie Couric was filling in for Robin Roberts all week. She knows what she's doing. Palin is an instigator. And she's annoying.

It's all crap. MD hit the nail on the head. The same reason the top storys on Yahoo news are sports and Christina Aguilera's hairdo.

The only difference between her and Donald Trump's fame whore festival is that the latter is openly produced by the entertainment division of NBC.

I don't understand why Palin doesn't think Fox counts as part of the "lamestream media." Nor do I know whether she understands "lamestream media" is supposed to be a joke.
