Meredith Vieira cracked up "Today" show co-hosts Ann Curry, Matt Lauer, and Al Roker today as she tried, apparently, to make a joke about micro-blogging application Twitter.

March 5, 2009 - 10:24 ET by Charlie PA TpkI confess I have made the same malaprop when I was new to Twitter.
Granted, had a Conservative said it, it would have front-page news, whereas it's ignored when Ms. Viera does it.
