I've seen Lauer every so often lately and it's quite obvious his Bush hatred has overtaken any sense of news he may have had.
Everything he says is put through the prism of how much he hates Bush. Bush should never have given him an interview.
It's not like there's anybody out there who isn't fully aware that Perky's sidekick Matt Lauer is a scumbag and a goofball. Always has been. Bush, of all people, should know that appeasement with the enemies of this nation does not work.
Lauer is just angry because Katie's replacement makes more than he does. He's simply displacing his anger where he can. Poor little fella. Ratings probably dropping too.
