Gov. Sarah Palin and the Today show
Today Show ^
Posted on 06/12/2009 5:12:09 AM PDT by blueyon
Matt Lauer interviewed Gov Sarah Palin today. They talked about the gas pipe line and then got into the Letterman comment (from about the 4:00 minute mark). Sarah told it like it was when Lauer pressed her. Matt tried to excuse Letterman and Sarah said "he was naive" and then he really got interesting! Matt finally had to give in (even thou he tried to defend Letterman). Was great! REALLY WORTH LISTENING TO!

I was surfing when I came upon The View and when Baba Wawa started saying something like she put the kid out there and has to expect....I shut it off. What a turd.

The sad part is I've spent the last 2 weeks doing without. Nicotine withdrawal is a real party. Guess this city boy will survive. Hang in there! You can do it!!! ... if you truly want to... of course, it's not easy, but YOU CAN DO IT! The craving WILL go away....just hang tough!

Great interview. Thanks for posting it.
Lauer had to be careful not to defend Letterman’s disgusting joke too much for fear that he too would be seen as a dirty old man, sexist, pig.
Sarah was fantastic!

...and I love Rush, but he was over the line back those many years ago when he made that dog joke too. He apologized on the air and to the Clintons personally for the comment.
Contrast and Compare!

“Matt is such an idiot...Finally, a Republican with Balls. Ironic this republican is a female!”Exactly! Republican men talk big when to comes to their guns, but when it comes lock, load and spar (verbally) with a democRAT, they are nowhere to be seen (just a bunch of Sheeple). Go Saracuda, the conservative men are nowhere in sight. (Except for TGO and Rush, thankfully!)

Oh, I know, there’s absolutely no contest between Rush and Letterman—I’m just acknowledging that that comment was over the line as well.
To: blueyon
It was a good interview. Many thanks to Matt for giving Gov. Palin airtime. She still seems nervous but that's ok, I would be too after the way people have treated her.

I knew Sarah would not any crap from Lauer.
If she didn’t have Mac’s people holding her back
during the campaign last yr. Sarah would have kicked ass also on the Curic and Gibson interview.
The others who think they want to run for Pres. know they don’t stand a chance and why they have their stooges out to bash her.

LOVE Sarah! She totally kicked Matt’s patootie.
To: gimme1ibertee
YYYAAAAAAYYY!
Sarah executed a terrific smackdown on Lauer... try as he might,he couldn't get her in a corner or get her to act in a Lettermanic manner (my new word for overtly idiotic)-but he DID see her steely resolve to stick to her principles and be just who she is,and what she is-just EXACTLY what we need in a leader.Your post scored:
Enthusiasm - 10
Accuracy - 10
Wit - 10
+ 10 for coining a new word, "Lettermanic"
Grand Total - 40

You know, Larry, and this is just my opinion, but I'd think it hard for a person to be at the Reagan Ranch or Reagan Center to give a speech and not mention the grand lady of Alaska, whom Reagan's own son, Michael, compared admirably to his father.
But that's just me, I'm sure anyone given the opportunity to speak at the Reagan Ranch will make the right decision on whether to include Sarah Palin amongst his words.

I think Lauer had a grudging respect for this great lady by the end of the interview.
What we saw on display here was greatness.
