1. Thank you for the reminder

I forgot about him being on Dateline. I won't miss it now! :hi:

2. Glad I could be helpful

I watched a promo and he was so angry at Frist & Co.

3. it's on now

Matt Lauer being an asshole right out of the gate.

Asking why the book didn't "honor" Terri, rather than settle "old scores".

Asshole.

9. Not just an asshole, but a vey cruel asshole

It's too bad this interview wasn't done with '60 Minutes' - it would have been done by professional journalists, not by a week-day morning entertainment hack with an axe to grind - Lauer is no journalist by any stretch. I can imagine the scramble over at NBC on who was going to get this interview.

4. Good interview.

I didn't know that Michael had offered to put the money into charity to unplug his wife. That cemented the deal and for the first time ever my mom finally just went silent and then when they went to commercial said she was wrong about the Terri issue back when it was going on.

I think Michael is absolved by the interview, certainly the interview was more on his side than harsh. Sure there was that bit about her not being honored, but in the end it puts him in a positive light.

5. not if Matt has anything to do with it

I think Michael is absolved by the interview

6. I really feel for the guy.

That whole ordeal was such a disgraceful circus, wasn’t it?

[DS1]

7. Aaaw, poor Matt, he had such a hard time dealing with this

FUCK YOU LAUER! FUCK OFF TO EYGPT AND DISAPPEAR

[Bunny]

8. Fucking Matt Lauer.

What an asshole. :grr:

Did he intend to actually let Michael tell his story, or did he intend to beat up Michael all over again?
