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."
