Asshole speaks, shit comes out. Surprised? It's Matt Lauer, still surprised?

Ann and Matt. She's making a point, he's thinking smug thoughts.

This headline also could have been, "Dick explodes, toxic spew wiped away."

Matt Lauer to Esquire:
The way the media treated what happened with Ann Curry was a disappointing learning experience. I was disappointed by the laziness of the media, the willingness to read a rumor, repeat that rumor, and treat it as a fact. And yet, what were my options? Does anyone want to see a person who’s making the money that the newspapers say I’m making complaining, “Woe is me, my life is terrible, and people are being unfair”? No one would’ve had any patience for that. I wouldn’t have any patience for that. So you just shut up and go about doing your job and hope that people who know you well — your friends and your family — know what’s true.
Or, you just shut your fucking mouth at that moment when everyone has finally stopped talking about what an asshole you are instead of accepting the bait from that magazine that doesn't hold your interests or your shows ratings as a priority. Where's the publicist? Where's the person telling him to walk away?

And btw no one believes this. No one. NO ONE.

NO ONE!

The Kardashian/Romney/Komen Foundation smackdown you've been waiting for, from the Today Show


Finally, someone said it the way I would say it. Thank you Donnie Deutsch for calling out topless Kardashians for what it is, an act of desperation.

And good on the Today Show, also part of the Comcast NBC/Universal family, for letting him say it.

And while they were at it, here's to someone that I hardly ever align myself with, one Star Jones (who's married more gay men than I have). Both Star and Nancy Snyderman pounce on the "I don't care about the poor" Republican candidate news while reminding Mittens Romney (or RMoney as I call him, on Twitter at @MittRmoney) that part of that social safety net was the free and low cost cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood offices.

That used to be funded by Komen For the Cure but won't be anymore as that group was hijacked by evangelical Christians that don't like Planned Parenthood because 3% of PP's business is providing abortions, which the last time I checked was STILL LEGAL in this country.

PP donation link HERE.

Not just legal, it's no one's decision to make except the woman who's pregnant.

So, no cancer screenings will just increase the amount of cancer not caught early which will result in even more medical spending than before, most of those occurrences happening with people with no health insurance. It's either be taxpayers paying that differential or ... women will just die.

And none of them will be Kardashians.

Is that what Komen and Romney want? Because that's what they've got.
