Matt Lauer: "Let me talk about this idea that a rag-tag group — not well-fed, not well-clothed,
completely under-equipped as compared to this great British army and the Hessians — could accomplish this.
And let me ask you to think about what is going on in Iraq today, where the insurgents — not well

— Exchange on the November 9 Today show, where Mrs. Cheney was promoting her new children’s book on

its way.”
— CNN’s Bruce Morton on Inside Politics, January 30. |
