I watched the Today show interview yesterday and Matt Lauer ripped her good. He confronted her on the timing of the release of the book, asked her voting record (to show that she's a Democrat and trying to slam Bush), challenged her accusations about Bush doing cocaine at Camp David and how uncredible her "sources" were. He challenged that Sharon Bush (the only source she will name) says that she is lying and her words were twisted and taken out of context. He asked her if she had taped that interview and she said no, despite the fact that she claimed to have taped 95% of the interviews. He made her look like the idiot that she is, in my opinion. The entire interview was aimed at discrediting her and implying that she released this book close to the election in an attempt to sway votes in a very attacking manner.

In spite of not agreeing with Bush policies/belief systems in general, I hate these kinds of books and slams and was glad that Matt Lauer was so tough on her.

Chris Matthews did the same last night. She's still getting plenty of free pub out of this. NBC has *REALLY* changed their tone with this book. Her first two days (why does she get 3 days?!?) were very powderpuff interviews. Then she gets slammed on Chris Matthews last night and then this morning. Maybe NBC is trying to become credible again?

If they want to be credible, stop promoting political books! Period.

Totally makes no sense.
