The Pot Calling the Kettle Black

This is hilarious. Rush was talking about this and how the Today Show had done a segment on the "staged" Bush-soldiers teleconference.

AP: 'Today' Reporter Paddles in Shallow Water---

If Michelle Kosinski's canoe had sprung a leak on NBC's "Today" show Friday, she didn't have much to worry about.

In one of television's inadvertently funny moments, the NBC News correspondent was paddling in a canoe during a live report about flooding in Wayne, N.J. While she talked, two men walked between her and the camera _ making it apparent that the water where she was floating was barely ankle-deep.

Matt Lauer struggled to keep a straight face, joking about the "holy men" who were walking on water.

"Have you run aground yet?" Katie Couric asked.

"Why walk when you can ride?" Kosinski replied.

Later, an NBC News spokeswoman explained that Kosinski had been riding in deeper water near an overflowing river down the street, but there were concerns that the current was too strong for her.

"It's not like we were trying to pass it off as something it wasn't," spokeswoman Lauren Kapp said.

Right.

Update-8:13pm:

The Political Teen has video! You can watch it here.

The West Coast feed of the segment, which is tape, showed Kosinski standing up. You can view that at The Political Teen as well.

Ha ha ha!

Michelle Malkin has a good round-up of posts about this. Have a look.
