Out to Embarrass Bush Over Alleged Video Stunt, Today Show Gets Caught in one of Its Own

This is hilarious. But I would've preferred Katie and Matt being the ones embarrassed.

Claiming that a rehearsal and staging is somehow fraudulent, is another attempt to downplay any progress in Iraq.

And diss the soldiers and the President.

Will someone get these propagandists off the air? How was "Stalin Radio" killed?

[RobFromGa]

What a delicious twist.

The greatest disappointment is how Fox News is joining the MSM. Oh well, there are many other news sources now.....Fox can begin to attrack the Whine and Cheese crowd while us Red staters go elsewhere.

Taking her act one step further, this morning she appeared on a suburban street . . . paddling a canoe. There was one small problem. Just as the segment came on the air, two men waded in front of Kosinki . . . and the water barely covered their shoe tops! That's right, Kosinski's canoe was in no more than 4-6 inches of water!

They should have called Al Gore to have waters released up stream so the boat would float better.

I take it this is the same story: Yahoo

[FreeLiability]

Yeah, but she is pretty darn cute. A fraud, perhaps, but a pretty fraud.

LOL! This now goes down the Today blackhole.

Someone should send this to Brut Hume, instead of the Leno clips he plays at the end of his show, he should play this one.

LOL - I had forgotten about that one. Or maybe taking a cue from Kerry , she could have thrown someone else's paddle over the fence ;-)

[Alia]

Excellent! Puts matters into perspective beautifully, and fairly.

And what is worse is that the administration allowed the news to cover the preparation, to PROVE that they weren't scripting what people said -- and the media has USED that access to put together misleading reports to give the suggestion that the administration was afraid of what they would say and was telling them what to say.

This made me spew my coffee.
Wish I had seen it!

[sauropod]

I know. Very disappointing.

No doubt.

I get many laughs from the Today Show, today was no exception. Good catch on the comparison of two "staged" stories...It makes Water-girl even funnier by adding hypocrisy, and includes Matt and Katie.

I think that will be the last NBC Water-girl story for a while, she's been in the same NJ water for the same story for at least two days now.

I would certainly have thought so, but see #18.

[Piquaboy]

I hope those hip waders were not to high, would not want her to chaf anything important.

I wonder what the net result of their numbers will show. I certainly watch very little on Fox now.

Cute enough
