Matt Lauer is an Idiot (and he isn't even cute)

By Sniffles

Our designated watcher of the insipid "Today" show reports to us that this morning, host Matt Lauer superbly demonstrated his limited grasp of politics, the English language and reality.

Discussing the most recent NBC Presidential poll in Florida, Mr. Lauer noted that John McCain had consistently enjoyed a 5-to-8-point lead in the Sunshine State all summer. Then he said that the new NBC poll showed that the Florida race had “tightened considerably.”

What did the poll show? That Senator Obama now is leading in Florida by 47 percent to 45 percent.

We cats would call that more than "tightened considerably." We'd call that a 7-to-10-point swing. And in a state that was falsely decided by 537 votes eight years ago, we'd call a swing like that a little more than "considerable."

Perhaps Mr. Lauer supports John McCain, and when he saw the poll a certain portion of his anatomy "tightened considerably."

We don't really care to think about that. But we GROWL at his stupidity, and we wonder why in the world someone like him makes so much money.
