Nurses say physicians are the worst of all. Women are much tougher. Maybe it's that childbirth thing... Talked to a nurse who used to work for a plastic surgeon in a stand-alone full-service office. We got to gabbing about the LA doc vilified after Kanye West's mother died following a tummy tuck and breast reduction. "The media make a big deal that the operation was in an office," she said. "We always did surgery in the office." There are many plastic surgeons with their own surgical centers. She thought the doc was geting a raw deal from the clueless media. So do I.

Even the God awful "Caveman" clubbed Matt.Wash Post's Tee Vee critic Lisa de Moraes pronounces: "The Golden Age of Washington Political Sex Scandals Goosing Network News Numbers -- over."I finally watched the interview. Matt didn't follow up on obvious questions. He should've brought up Craig's 40-year history of surreptitious gay encounters. Any illusions Matt had of using this tete-a-tete to legitimize him as a serious journalist were dashed as he hoisted himself on his own petard.

Tom Shales Crits Matt Lauer For Weak Larry Craig Interview
2007-10-17 22:43:00 Tom Shales is taking Matt Lauer to the wood shed over his weak interview of Senator Larry Craig. For Lauer, self-important co-host of NBC's "Today" show, the interview was obviously seen as a potential career- and credibility-builder, but even when he did ask an arguably tough question, he essentially apologized for it. He prefaced a question about whether the senator might be bisexual by saying to Craig, "You're going to have to forgive me for this."What? This is a journalist practicing journalism? Lauer's like a virgin veteran, an old hand who seems inexperienced. Diane Sawyer, to name one example, would have done a much better interview. Anyone on "60 Minutes," Wallace or another member of the vaunted team, would have done a better one. Lauer's former "Today" co-host, the much-maligned Katie Couric, also would likely have done a more effective job. Well, at least Matt won't replace Katie Couric over at CBS!

Matt Lauer Finger F**ks Larry Craig
2007-10-17 14:36:00 I confess I didn't watch the heavily pimped Matt Lauer/Larry Craig EXCLUSIVE last night. I recorded it for later as well as that Sean Hannity suck up to Rudy and "Judith" Guiliani (she was born "Judi"). The Wash Post's brilliant Tee Vee critic Tom Shales watched it for me. Tom's opening line: One thing, at least, was made painfully clear by Matt Lauer's interview with Sen. Larry Craig on NBC last night: Matt Lauer is no Mike Wallace. Lauer was anything but hard-hitting or confrontational with the Idaho Republican, arrested in June for alleged homosexual solicitation in a Minneapolis airport men's room.Lauer danced around Wide Stance with tentative, apologetic questions avoiding the real red meat. He was like an "actor," Shales opined. A journalism "virgin." People won't be talking about Craig's prevarication.

Larry Craig Opens Up
2007-10-16 13:06:00 "I go to bathrooms to use bathrooms," prevaricates Larry "I Am Not Gay" Craig to Matt Laurer on NBC's Today. Matt asked him if he was aware of the Minneapolis airport bathroom's reputation as a gay rendevous hangout. "I am now," Larry laughs. Video here. Today didn't string us along for an hour waiting for the Craig bite. The tease to tonight's NBC hour on this hypocritical lying creep was the second story in the 7 a block. NBC threw out this soundbite to pique interest over the weekend: On Mitt Romney Craig whines: "He threw me under his campaign bus, backed up and ran over me again." Mitt jettisoned the "Super Tuber" hot potato from his campaign after Larry got his dick in a legal wringer. Last night on Keith Olbermann's MSNBC Countdown, Keith made the story all about himself. He ran the Craig bite dissing Romney and then himself in an earlier show using the same line to analyze the Romney rout. Keith, your broadcast angel (me) is fluttering in your face (once again) to keep ...

TV Newser Yeah, well you should've thought about that before trolling for guys in public bathrooms.Craig's wife's unfortunate reference to a drain: "I felt like the floor was falling out from under me.

I'm Kyla. Fly Me.
2007-09-07 23:44:00 The Today Show's Matt Lauer flew his eyes up the crotch of big boobed Hooters eye candy Kyla Ebbert wearing the same thing that almost got her booted off an airplane. The 23-year-old Paris Hilton hacktress was shot from the neck up this ayem as Matt teased the viewers for the Full Monty to come. Kyla's mommy was there to defend her daughter's choice of garb. Apparently other morning shows passed on Miz Kyla after they saw her MySpace page full of suggestive photos. My daughter's 24. I would discourage her from wearing that skirt. At least Kyla had on white panties. She shot the camera a beaver as she sat down in the Today Show interview chair.

Nancy Grace, Matt Lauer and the Anna Nicole Disaster
2007-02-24 18:28:01 For the first time I watched Nancy Grace on CNN during the Anna Nicole Smith burial decision. I've pretty much avoided most of the Anna Nicole madness, but it was the middle of the afternoon and frankly nothing else was on, and people on IM were prodding me for details because, well, they knew I was in front of a TV and had nothing better to do at the moment. So the judge renders his decision, blah blah blah. Off to the 'react' from Nancy Grace. What a pitiful display. First, they start discussing whether the judge should have cried. OK, so thats a decent discussion since that was indeed a bit oddball, but given the entire circus of the thing, probably pretty normal. Then, before the body is even in the ground ... and only a few minutes after the sappy, crying judge rendered his decision, Nancy starts asking her panel what happens if someone else is later granted custody of the baby (based on the DNA results), what would be the process for exhuming the body. ... |
