[Behind Liberal Lines]

I have to wonder if this wasn't a case of Lauer not doing his homework.

The liberal media is so liberal they've been ignoring reports out of England and elsewhere in which Kay made similar comments. Maybe Lauer was simply setting Kay up with softballs because he didn't realize that Kay was going to use them to defend the President and the war.

That's why I mentioned that, more than normally, it would have been useful to actually see the interview rather than rely on my report. It seemed clear to me that Lauer was not mindlessly lobbing open-ended questions, but that he was generally sympathetic to Kay's views and was asking questions designed to let him offer pro-Bush administration answers. Remarkable.
