BROOKLYN, NY—In the wake of a sexual misconduct allegation that led to the firing of the longtime Today cohost, local woman Meredith Duncan on Wednesday was reportedly quietly satisfied to have concrete evidence backing up her years-long hatred of Matt Lauer. “I’ve despised that man for going on two decades, and now I finally know why,” said Duncan, 47, adding that there was always something off-putting about the man who had been a fixture on the NBC morning show since 1997, a vague loathing for him that had not fully made sense until this very moment. “I knew it couldn’t just be that he was a terrible journalist throwing softball questions at guests with that smirk on his face. There had to be a better, more disgusting reason, and it honestly feels pretty great to have my distaste for the man fully justified after all this time.” At press time, Duncan was smugly letting anyone who brought up the allegation against Lauer know that she wasn’t surprised in the slightest and that a few people suspected something was wrong with him all along.

6. I met that pig at a Gilda's Club

event around 17 years ago and he was a smug asshole even then. I'm enjoying his downfall - mostly for what he did to Hillary last year.

7. Every time she turned him on she supported him.

I don't see any indication she's broken her addiction to the boob tube, either.

Speaking of Kool-Aid, who plans to watch ANOTHER 3 days of saturation coverage -- newly energized with Lauer now -- providing cover while congress and Trump try to pass their plan to sign us up for a 10-year multi-trillion dollar mortgage? If they succeed, beginning January 1 we'll start the transfer of our tax dollars into the pockets of billionaires, money that used to go to Social Security, Medicare and dozens of other programs for us.
