Matt Lauer asked Debbie Wasserman Schultz, incoming chair of the Democratic National Committee, in a Today Show interview this morning how the voters would feel about President Obama’s reelection campaign potentially raising a billion dollars “with a b” given the current budget and deficit environment.

I kid you not.

Because we all know that raising campaign contributions (including a significant amount from small dollar donors), like Social Security, contributes to the deficit.

Matt Lauer is an idiot.

That is all.
