Did any of you hear Matt Lauer make this comment this morning, and if so, what do you think?

So, NBC is obviously broadcasting from the UK for the Olympics. I get that – okay. But in a fairly frivolous back-and-forth between Lauer and Meredith Viera, she presented him with a pair of official Olympics pair of panties, jokingly. He laughed it off and looked embarassed, at which point Ms. Viera told him to just give them back to her.

His comment was, “You can’t be an Indian Giver”.

Is that okay with everyone? And why? NBC is a fairly left channel, and for one of their anchors to make such a comment was a surprise.

I, personally, was not offended by it, but I imagine that there are people that were.
