From Super Bowl Sunday, February 5, 2012, NBC's Matt Lauer served up this gem as aired on the February 6 Today show:

“Mitt Romney is the guy who’s running for your job. He may eventually become the nominee. He’s a guy who’s been incredibly successful in his life and career. He’s made a lot of money. It’s not a crime. It’s part of the American Dream. Do you think though that Mitt Romney can identify with the middle class and the underclass in this country?”

That quote was awarded "two out of five screams" by the Washington Examiner's Paul Bedard for his weekly "Mainstream Media Scream" feature in his "Washington Whispers" column.
