Rabbi, Interrupted

All week, the Today Show has been running a series called "Is Civility Dead?" This morning's segment dealt with please and thank you, as in, why don't people say it anymore?  (Because their a-holes.)  Mid-way through the piece, Matt Lauer brought out a reverend and a rabbi to discuss this nationwide shortage of manners.  Rabbi Matthew Gewirtz had barely opened his mouth when NBC News suddenly cut him off with an "important" election update.  Did I really need yet another reminder of what went down?  No.  So thanks for ruining my morning, NBC.  Thanks for interrupting a rabbi.  Of all people!  It doesn't get any ruder than that.  Shame on you, NBC.  Bad network! Go to your room and don't come out until you've hand-written an apology to the nice rabbi.  And one to the SJG, as well.
