For your TGIF viewing fun, NBC “Today” show co-host Meredith Vieira has lost control of her verbal filters again.
From Vieira’s Super Bowl week performance, in which she claimed that she and NBC weatherman Al Roker were “moist,” to the last unfortunate double-entendre involving speculation on the past tense of “Tweet,” the morning show hostess today wondered whether the Statue of Liberty was wearing undergarments beneath her robes.
Once again, colleague Matt Lauer played the long-suffering professional, keeping a straight face. Weatherman Al Roker, however, pounced. Video of the latest gaffe is embedded at right.

May 8, 2009 - 13:51 ET by balboaDunno, but apparently a lot of people do. I bet most just have it on in the background as they get ready for work, so they can get the weather and traffic report.

That's why do they have some new FIRE codes...in a copper and steel structure!!
The U.S. Interior Department had insisted that visitors should not be
admitted because the crown, reachable only by a narrow spiral
staircase, did not meet modern fire, building and safety codes.

What's under Lady Liberty's skirt?

My sister-in-law's, sister's husband (sorry about that) is a urologist. He had this gal in his office and she told him the symptoms she was experiencing.
He nodded and told her "let's take a look".
She stopped him and said "I gotta warn ya, my husband likes it a little wild and wooly".

May 8, 2009 - 14:26 ET by QueenMumSorry, Mike. I don't think the comment was either offensive or an example of some sort of liberal bias or inherent disrespect. But thanks for sharing the video. It did provide a smile.

May 8, 2009 - 14:57 ET by PrairieSkya particularly offensive or biased comment either...just stupid, and inappropriate for morning TV, and it was another example of Meredith Vieira's penchant (conscious or unconscious) for making some pretty tacky, sexually-tinged, inappropriate on-air comments.

QM...I suppose...
May 8, 2009 - 15:33 ET by PrairieSkyit can be seen as such...That said, Vieira just grates on me, and she does have a rather longstanding history of saying some really unfortunate and sometimes suggestive (intentionally or not) things on-air. The fact that she has done this repeatedly causes me to wonder whether she does this on purpose, or like Joe Biden, does she just have diarrhea of the mouth???
(PS...I have Scottish ancestry, so I do appreciate the kilt jokes...LOL!) :)

(insert Beavis and Butt-head laughter here)
May 9, 2009 - 16:25 ET by UnsaneI must confess I loved watching Beavis and Butt-head back in the day. For Beavis and Butt-head Do America,there were some items sold - like mousepads and the like - which showed both Beavis and Butt-head lifting up Liberty's skirt and looking up.
So it seems that Meredith Vieira can add the phrase "unoriginal thinker" to her long list of offenses.
