The annual Halloween extravaganza on the "Today" show took a rather ghoulish turn on Tuesday morning, when Meredith Vieira's first big entrance as a "Today" co-host was conspicuously unseen. After Ann Curry and Natalie Morales sauntered somewhat awkwardly onto the stage as Cher and Madonna, respectively (the theme: divas), the big reveal -- Vieira coming out Bette Midler-style as a mermaid in a clamshell -- fell flat, and viewers were treated to the truly horrifying sight of a stagehand's denim-ed bottom, and several seconds of confused fans in Rockefeller Plaza.

I actually was looking for something serious- recent statements etc by Dem Congressmen... Don't know how I got this.
BTW...I think Meredith looked more Little Mermaid than Devine Ms. M.
Meredith is turning into an old bat.
That's what liberalism does to pretty women.
Every day is a frightful day on "The Today Show."
I liked the little article at your link about Elizabeth (on that show with Barbara Walters and Rosie) referring to John Kerry as "Mel Gibson without the booze"...
Every year Lauer and company dress up like idiots and then expect to be taken seriously as "journalists." What a joke. The year he dressed up as the pop idol singer (Christina Aguilera maybe?) I thought that was as low as any network "news" person could go.
Hard to say which was more awkward, Meredith's botched entrance or Natalie's leadfooted dancing.
