Sometimes I like to fool myself into imagining that Lauer is less of a biased liberal than Katie. This interview rudely disabused me of that notion. It was nothing less than a 5-minute Davis infomercial.

geez i have never seen lauer so bad...

this was katie couric level butt-kissing . will we see matt undergoing a cavity search for his brain like katie did?

[OldFriend]

The dems have gotten their talking points........the recall is going to be likened to the Florida election fiasco, all the republican's fault of course. Watch that mantra be repeated again and again by the dems.

God bless you for being able to 'watch' the today show. You do us a wonderful favor by monitoring it. I just can't stomach any of them...

really enjoyed your take on the Lauer interview with Gray and Susan Davis. Here was my take on it:

"Davis being interviewed by Matt Lauer. Gray Davis is trying to blame California's woes on the Bush administration. Well, that's it in a nutshell..."when Bush came into office there were surpluses "as far as the eye could see". Matt asks, "so you think California's woes are a microcosm of what will happen to the rest of the country. And Matt says, "I read on Matt Drudge that the Clintons are coming to help you". hahaha

davis says Republicans are just relitigating the election, they had these recall petitions on the street 30 days after the election. Matt Lauer says, "you'll pardon me, but it sounds like you both (Gray and his wife Sharon), are claiming a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

"The recall is a misguided effort by very rich Republicans", says Davis.

I'm not kidding folks, Matt Lauer interviewing Gray and Sharon Davis had the look of the famous 60 Minutes interview of Bill and Hillary. Sitting all sweet and cuddly, happy, grinning, on a sofa, claiming everything is rosy, they gonna win, and everyone is just out to get them."

Great summary! (Thank God I didn't have to see it -- I would have been spitting nails!)

[maryz]

Matt was sympathizing that, after all, California was part of the USA, which has been experiencing an economic downturn.

No mention of those who calculate that, without California and its basket-case economy, the US would have had a net increase in jobs in the past year or so?

[jmaroneps37]

Matt is just being a good comrade, trying to help his guy keep power.

>> Lauer Lobs Slow-Pitch Softballs

Sounds like he trying out for the Texas Rangers' Bullpen.

Media - (Fox + conservative talk radio) = anti-American Leftists

[Fraulein]

I absolutely can't stand Lauer -- it pains me just to look at him...

However I think I hate little Katie even more...

[From The Deer Stand]

Why even watch Lauer and Couric? Lauer is known for his soft questioning of Liberals and Couric is known for getting upset when a Conservative doesn't answer a question the way she would like them to answer. Watch Fox News instead.

[NormsRevenge]

Davi$ IS Toast! What a waste of airtime! But that isn't saying much these days. Marching to a leftist beat, Matt and Katie High Colonic.. King and Queen of Kiss-up.. and throw-up ;-)

Thanks governsleastgovernsbest!!! Can you put me on your ping list for this?

I know you get ribbed for watching it, but I'm in your boat. I need to know what the enemy is doing. I need to understand how he thinks. And the Today Show is actually one hell of an alarm clock. I'm usually pretty groggy around 7 am, and one interview like that Lauer Lick-Fest with Davis gets me hopping out of bed to rattle off colorful phrases at the TV. My husband thinks I'm crazy.

I've always had some weird fantasy that Matt wasn't a lib like Katie--I read an article about him once that said he went through some pretty hard times and at one point he lived in a studio with his golden retriever. I liked that. Anyway, the french-kisssy with Davis and his WIFE (what the hell?) has definitely shown me the light!

[CyberAnt]

Rick Roberts (760 am) was talking to a reporter from Channel 8 (San Diego), about the reporter's interview of Mrs. Davis.

This idiot woman said that "anybody can start a petition - I mean if you are against blue shirts - and he wears a lot of blue shirts - you can start a petition and get lots of signatures and get somebody recalled".

And .. these are the same people who called Bush "stupid".

[hobbes1]

Two problems with this...

ONE..The headline should say "Former Richard Bey Show Co-host Matt Lauer..."

TWO...You failed to point out that the only thing keeping Lauer from kneeling down and removing Davis' eyeballs through his Urethra was the prescence of the Latters wife.

I like Rumsfeld. Delay. A few other straight talkers.

Otherwise the play is DEMs and RINOs who spin and lie, nondescriptatrons who say nothing with a lot or words, and GOP Regulars who want to be able to speak to the unwashed less words than the Sphinx let out over the last millenium.

The market has to desire it. Only the rarest can speak straight and get anywhere close to party circles of either party.
