Somebody Needs A Diaper Change



This video shows Matt Lauer smacking down Rick Santelli for pretending to be offended and pretending that he believes that White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, made a veiled threat to him last week when he called Santelli out for statements that Santelli had previously made.

The "threat" was as follows, "I'm not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives, or in what house he lives." Pretty scary stuff, huh? No wonder Santelli is quaking in his boots. The point that Robert Gibbs was making was that Santelli's financial status would allow him to live in a more upscale neighborhood, one that is less likely to be effected by home foreclosures.

So Lauer calls him out on it and instead of manning up, Santelli brings his wife into the spotlight. See, his wife apparently felt threatened by the body language that the press secretary used while saying, "I'm not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives, or in what house he lives." Oohh. Scary.

Santelli goes on to whine about how it just isn't fair that Gibbs singled him out by name. Come on. How old are you, Santelli? Take the freaking binky out of your mouth and maybe we'll be able to understand you better.
