I’m looking for video or a transcript, but on the today show this morning a little after 7 a.m., Matt Lauer referred to Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez as a “Piñata”. Even my wife noticed it and said “whoa, did he really just say that?”
I’m sure if Bill Richardson had been referred to as a piñata by Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter, it would’ve been a big deal.
