Did anyone see Matt Lauer on Daily Show saying Bush was "Great American"

finalist? And that there was Internet voting on AOL or something like that but that it still wasn't closed?

Anyone know anything about this?

The Bush Loyalists are some of the most pathetic, sycophantic losers on the planet.

priceless!

The Today Show is horrible.

the Today show before the election?....There wasn't even a pretense at "fair and balanced" in the interview!

P.S....We did this on the CBC in Canada a few weeks ago and the winner of "The Greatest Canadian" was Tommy Douglas....He was the man who brought in our Universal Healthcare plan in the 60's....That should say something to those who are currently saying Canadians are not satisfied with our health care. Incidentally, Tommy Douglas was Keifer Sutherland's grandfather.

since that time. Screw Lauer and the Couric chick..worthless as she is......

Don't THESE PEOPLE HAVE CHILDREN?????? That theeeeY CARE ABOUT????

is Matt Lauer's brain? :shrug:

People booed?

planned, but he was astounded....

:bounce:

or even an audio would be great.

"what do you expect from my audience" ....great snarky moment.

Matt also said John Edwards shouldn't be on the list, and Jon defended him (JRE). Afterall, Dr. Phil's on the list !

When I heard him say Edwards didn't deserve to be on the list, I started counting down the seconds until he mentioned the Chimp. I wasn't counting very long.

I never watch Matt "I shaved my head in solidarity with my fascist government" Lauer anyway, but if the Chimp's name is even mentioned on this fucking show, I'll never watch the Discovery channel again.

Hell of a nice guy, this Matt Lauer.

saying there were all kinds of Americans that weren't in the final pool who should be and many who were probably should not be. I don't think Edwards is one of the 100 greatest Americans either, and it's not an insult. I just think there are plenty of people (well over 100) that I would put ahead of him. I mean Elvis Presley is on the list for god's sake. He said on the show that Martin Luther King Jr hadn't made the final 25 (although I just voted for him a minute ago...so not sure but he probably misspoke on that).

I hope it was a very loud boo.

show? I hope that cut right to matty's greedy corporatateheart.

There are all kinds of unsavory characters there we need to keep off that show.

no stuff. By the way, that "coat hanger" picture says it all.

That Discovery "Great Americans" thing, he was rolling his eyes when he talked about some of the folks voted on by viewers. Brett Farve. Dr. Phil...

practicing his putt with Bush Sr at Kennebunkport a few years ago? Lauer is totally bought and owned by Bu$hCo.

..and it makes people ASSume Matt Lauer supports Bush.

Matt Lauer may not be as openly anti-ReTHUG as Katie is.. but he is definitely NOT a Bush fan!!!

He tore Kitty Kelley a new one when her Bush book was published. He CHANNELED Hannity. I respect your opinion that "he is definitely NOT a Bush fan," but TRUST ME. During the 3 day period in which he interviewed Kelley, he was a bigger Bush fan than George W. Bush HIMSELF.

What's your source on the "NOT a Bush fan" observation, if you don't mind me asking?

he gets a look of disgust in his face. Matt --> :puke:

Listen to the way he talks about his late father and Bush's healthcare plans.

...I've SEEN that Sean Hannity look on Lauer's face when discussing Bush.

I've SEEN him turn on guests who were not pro-Bush.

Maybe his father got smoked by something Bush has on the table, but I'm sorry.

Lauer IS pro-Bush in every other regard, and when I see evidence to the contrary, I'll retract that statement here.

out did the Spanish Inquisition on Michael Moore..too.

It is the LOOK that Karl Rove, Condi Rice, Dick Cheney, and the rest have in THEIR eyes.

This man is PRO-BUSH, and I'd bet my LEFT NUT on it.

that feeds him..so what if it's a corporatewhore and whatever weapons GE can manufacture?

Hey, it's often referred to as "the world's oldest profession."

So, at least Matt has a job.

He's a WHORE.

For George W. Bush.

He serves at the pleasure of his master, Karl Rove.

Lets' NOT give credit where credit is due. This man is bought and sold, pure 100% unadulterated BUSH WHORE.

asked the tough questions when the subject of the Iraq war was brought up.

with Michael but equal time for the pncnuts!

But Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! GE and the march to War On Iraq!

...that she should not be "attacking" a sitting President during a time of war.

FORGET the Downing Street Minutes.

FORGET the fact that he went after Saddam because Saddam tried to hurt his Pappy.

FORGET the fact that George W. Bush has the most classic example of an OEDIPUS COMPLEX that we will EVER SEE in our lifetime, and that drove him to "finish" what his mummified POS Carlyle Group-loving motherf**ker FATHER "started."

FORGET all of it.

Lauer SHOT RIGHT PAST the fact that Bush dragged us into a war with a country that had NO WMDs, NO DOCUMENTED involvement with 9/11....

I'm trying VERY HARD to respect ALL VIEWPOINTS on DU, but I need HARD EVIDENCE that Matt Lauer IS NOT A BUSH WHORE.

I need HARD EVIDENCE that Matt Lauer does not spend much of his free time ON ALL FOURS for Karl Rove.

Until I SEE the evidence...

MATT LAUER IS A BUSH WHORE. FUCK Mat Lauer. FUCK HIM, GUCK HIM, FUCK HIM, F-U-C-K H-I-M.

bushwhore..he plays one on tv.

I'm shocked, I tell you! Shocked!

Actually, it is kind of surprising that he would be that obvious about it.

I was sure that Lauer was a Dem but since then, he's been very aggressive and nasty when interviewing Democrats. He should worry what is in his son's best interest, a big inheritance or a country he can be proud to live in.

and he parrots the company line. The three notes played when the NBC Peacock is shown---Played on the piano--G, E, C--General Electric Corporation

someone on the today show asked him if he named him after Jack Welch(head of GE)? Maybe it was Katie.

he lobs softballs at Repugs on his show, attacks Dems or anyone who dares to challenge Smirk, and is Limpballs' golfing buddy. Lauer is one of the most reliable whores * has.

get that. He's been falling over backwards to support the royal line. His performance has certainly been pro-Bush.

d.

everyone will KNOW it's a piece of crap poll. Only the most rabid, ridiculous rightie would vote for him over some of the others. bush shouldn't even be ON a top 25 list of Great Americans. bush can't SPELL "Great American". :eyes:

I call, "bullshit" on this entire poll. It means absolutely nothing. The only thing it indicates is the number of morons there are in this country that would even consider someone like george bush.

yeah i saw him on the list, hopefully he wont win

And it is most definitely "graphic." Thank you for the reminder. In California, the anti-choicers have at least one ballot measure that has gotten through. Scary times in California. I'll bet it originated in SoCal. Probably Orange County.

This is why I'm so smart with my new plan-turn it off right BEFORE the interview..unless someone with brains and integrity is on. Or maybe Angelina Jolie (damn I've been influenced by that lesbian culture thang :P ) she has both.

What the HELL is that all about anyway?

I wouldn't watch morning TV interviewing anyone.

Don't watch those other ones. Jon mentioned Angelina's effect on Brad Pitt last night..and well..she's the most wanted woman in America..and there's nothing wrong with that! I was riffing on the whole "lesbian culture" that the idijits are throwing at Hillary.

I know my remarks never make any sense but to me. But I enjoy them anyway. LOL

I appreciate it. Angelina Jolie is lovely, and I did misunderstand your point about the Daily Show, which is not a morning show. "Television talk shows for 100, Alex."
