Do press secretaries need press secretaries? If so, Robert Gibbs would be well-advised to retain the services of Matt Lauer. Jousting with Rick Santelli this morning, the Today co-anchor made a spirited defense of the White House press secretary. At one point, Lauer emphatically denied that Gibbs intended to threaten the CNBCer by calling out Santelli contemptuously by name. Santelli let it be known that it was his wife who had put the ominous interpretation on Gibbs’ words.

Lauer, your a nobody and a waste of space. Stop thinking the world worships you...LOWLIFE!
The assumption here is that he hasn't already done so.
Everybody knows the PravdABDNC attack machine will go after anybody who questions the great Oz.

Lauer and his MSM phonies are carrying the water for the 0bama Administration. It’s going to be fun to watch them tread the water when all this porkulous and earmark spending accomplishes little, the economy further tanks, and Zero’s ratings start dropping.
I wonder if Holder is working on a use for Gitmo in the
future?
Matt, the Dimbulb, Lauer at LEAST has to admit that it is an unusual practice for presidents and their press secretaries to attack reporters who have been critical of their administration BY NAME.
I can’t remember any president in my life-time (back to LBJ) doing it, at least not for such a trivially small amount of criticism. Can anyone else?
where does Matt Lauer live, anyway??
(That’s not a threat....just sayin’....)

If I were Rick Santelli, I would be more concerned over the reference to “where he lives.” It is probably on the Internet/Google maps right now so the Obamabots can find his house.

I guess I should clarify - I meant PUBLICLY attacking them by name. I think most presidents have had “enemies” lists, and I am sure certain reporters have been on certain presidents’ lists.
NBC should officially come out and say it is working for the Obama administration.
They sent the SS over to some bakery in NYC yesterday to investigate racist cookies..... and I'm not kidding.
Why does Santelli appear on that louse’s show? They book him to get ratings, obviously, and if I were Santelli, I would refuse. He needs to leave NBC anyway.
“If statements in a similar vein had been made regarding Michelle Obama, an abortionist, or George Clooney there would have been hell to pay.”
Very true.
If you’re gonna appear, you needed to be prepared to fire with both barrels.
I would advise santelli to watch a few of Ann Coulter’s interviews before appearing with these vultures
