What would a wazoo aperture like Lauer know about principles, let alone conservative ones?

[OpusatFR]

It’s a darn good thing Breitbart got this information on Weiner before CHINA, RUSSIA, or IRAN not to mention lobbyists and assorted ME enemies did.

I suppose the idea that Weiner would have been subject to blackmail didn’t cross Lauer’s feeble mind.

[Mr. Mojo]

"Did you worry that – you know, as a conservative, you don't want government in people's bedrooms." - Lauer

Is Breitbart the gov't? Where exactly did Breitbart call for gov't to get involved? Lauer's more than a bit confused, as usual.

[MrEdd]

If Weiner had kept his namesake in his bedroom this would never have come to light, Matt.

And adultry is not a cherished conservative value.

[C. Edmund Wright]

My thoughts exactly. Where the hell are these lib media types getting their logic? In the same few days we have Babs Walters comparing Palin’s bus trip to Weiner’s weiner — and now Lauer with this.

Herman Cain says “stupid people are ruining America.” Methinks he’s right.

What would a wazoo aperture like Lauer know about principles, let alone conservative ones?

Only insofar as using said principles against conservatives.
Everyone else gets a free pass, as usual.

This all seems darn to close to “Have you stopped beating your wife?”

NBC’s Lauer - an expert on conservative thought, et al

[muawiyah]

Lauer all too easily forgot poor old Eric Massa. As he was being driven from office he managed to get an interview with Glenn Beck.

The next day Tony Weiner appeared on Don Imus' show and said a number of things and mentioned that Massa "was one taco short of a happy meal".

I don't recall Matt criticizing Tony over that bit of invasion of the proverbial "bedroom", but there you have it.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Nice spin, Lauer!

[faucetman]

Perverts need to be exposed

[Venturer]

If Lauer had a naked picture of Sarah Palin he would be having emissions down the front of his pants as he exposed it on national TV.

Who is this a-hole trying to fool ?

Lauer has no principles.

[Westbrook]

Sending uninvited pornography or soliciting sex from underage females over the internet is a felony.

I don’t think a warped and demented mind like Lauer’s can grasp that.

[Carry_Okie]

I’m amazed that Breitbart hasn’t brought up the fact that he could sue Weiner for defamation and has, so far, restrained himself from profiting at Weiner’s expense.

[LostInBayport]

"Did you worry that – you know, as a conservative, you don't want government in people's bedrooms.

We don't want that, but we also don't want people's bedrooms in our government! And that is just what happened here, and with Clinton, and with...

[RatRipper]

The FIRST conservative principle should be TRUTH.

I doubt the truth would have ever been told had Breitbart not stepped forward to call BS on Weiner.

[DariusBane]

Alinsky tactics

[DoughtyOne]

As if we didn’t know what this is all about. Lauer is just holding out hope of getting on Weiner’s sexting list.

[GOPJ]

I’m SICK of liberals telling us what and who we are... If Lauer wants to know who we are he can watch our actions.... That’s who we are...
