Rick Perry Skillfully Avoids Matt Lauer's Pile of Crap on 'Today Show'
Rick Perry Report ^ | Oct 14, 2011 | Joe Hyde

If there's any indication that the liberal media is out to get Texas Gov. Rick Perry, watch this video of the interview Matt Lauer conducted with Perry Friday morning. Perry is making the talk show circuit touting his energy and jobs plan that he just unveiled today in a major policy speech at 10:45 a.m. E.T.

Then Lauer wants to talk about Rick Perry's wife Anita's comments about being brutalized. Then, near the end of the interview, Lauer loads a question with so much crap, it's difficult for Perry to not step in it. But Perry navigates the interview quite well.

Laur looked like the idiot he is.

He wants a job like Katie Couric got after she crucified Sarah Palin.

Matt isn’t a Journalist he is a news reading flunky with an urge to get above his Peter’s Principle limit.

Which IMO he has already reached.

Thanks. When out of a formatted environ like a 'debate', (a scenario in which no function of the presidency ever remotely resembles), Perry is phenomenal.
When it is just Perry and the people, the latter always cotton to the former.
