Lauer to Catty Kitty: You Got My Story Wrong, Too

Poison pen celebrity biographer Kitty Kelley shot herself in the foot on the "Today Show" this morning, when she claimed to have inside knowledge that "Today" host Matt Lauer once played golf with President George H.W. Bush - a charge refuted by Lauer on the spot.

Lauer was questioning Kelley about why, after four years of investigating three generations of the Bush family, she couldn't find one positive thing to report: LAUER: The reality has to be that there are some nice things that need to be said about them. And why aren't they in this book?

KELLEY: Matt, you've played golf with former President Bush.

LAUER: I've never played golf with him.

Kelley did not challenge Lauer on his denial - or explain how many sources she had for her false claim.

Still, undeterred by yet another misreport, Kelley contended that the Bush family enjoys a "Donna Reed Show" family image, when the truth is closer, she claimed, to "The Sopranos."

3. It wasn't the real George Bush
It was a wax museum George Bush.

(Who could tell the difference anyway?)

8. Hey, how come we don't have any george bush* impersonators around?
That guy who did Clinton was pretty good.

No bush* impersonators because the original is a parody?

4. No kidding
I think it is pathetic more than funny. Wonder when Faux is going to pickup the story saying the golf story is false?

5. Hey, Matt? Is that a golf club in your hand
or are you just happy to see us?




Oh, by the way, who is that former president that you're standing there with?

6. A putting contest and playing 18 holes are two different things
so Lauer can technically truthfully deny having played golf w/ Bush I.
