NBC's Viera Scolding Scott Brown on Today Show

Meridith Viera seemed a bit annoyed that she was interviewing the newly elected Republican Scott Brown instead of Democrat Martha Coakley now that Massachusetts voters made their choice in the Tuesday special election for the open Senate seat there.

Viera did her level best to phrase the results of the election in an agenda driven way but Scott Brown wasn't taking the bait. In fact, he proved exactly why he was elected over the bumbling Coakley. He refused to accept Viera's lefty narrative and restated the day's events with his own, positive message.

Viera started out trying to get Brown to admit that the only reason he won is because Martha Coakley made so many mistakes in her campaign. This was an effort to make less of Brown's win by saying that the voters didn't really vote for him at all. Viera asked, "… do you think that your victory was a result of missteps by your opponent or did you tap into something that the Democrats didn't get about the voters?"

Brown wisely didn't accept the premise that he only won because Coakley was such a poor candidate. Brown immediately replied to Viera's cheapening of his own campaign efforts by saying, "Well, I don't really think about what she did, I just focus on what I did…"

Viera’s not smart enough to come up with that line of questioning on her own. Just another pretty-face meat puppet.

I watched this live. Meredith was apoplectic. People shouldn't forget that Viera actually marched in a Iraq war potest in NYC back in 2003 or 2004. The fact that she sits where she sits and expects people to believe that she is non-partisan is laughable.

Incidentally, Scott Brown may be the only redeeming thing that Tufts University has ever produced - as Tufts graduate Meredith Viera proves.

I turned Olbermann on briefly to hear his take and was reminded of the chimp at the zoo throwing feces in all directions.

"because being able to understand when she’s being set-up by lefties and responding directly and specifically is one thing she needs to work on, IMHO."

While Brown's bona fides as a reliable conservative still need to be proven, he has demonstrated remarkable skill when dealing with a hostile media. And, his debate performances were all very good - especially his handling of David Rodham Gergon. I suspect that even if he doesn't prove to be a completely orthodox conservative, his political future will still be bright.

Unfortunately she doesn't look like that anymore.

That’s nothing that a good iron couldn’t fix.

She's beginning to look like one of those space creatures in the bar scene in "Star Wars".

Hey, Laz. Your prediction was a little off.

I am really glad you were wr..wr...wr..., er, not exactly right.

"That’s nothing that a good iron couldn’t fix."

Yeah, but how many times would you have to hit her in the face to take care of those crevasses?

Meredith Viera is not even CLOSE to being as “wacked out” about this as Olbermann and Matthews are.
True, but at least they are obvious parodies of themselves. Viera pretends at legitimate "journalism" and is afforded that reputation.
