After yesterday’s battle royale between Al Roker, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, Speidi gave what seemed like dozens of post-battle interviews. They made a video for US Weekly, complaining about “The Weatherman”. Heidi even said that Roker had been abusive towards her, saying “Please do not be rude to women in the future. Please do not be rude to me. Please watch your tone, especially if you have a mother or a wife or a daughter. I don’t think that they would appreciate you talking to them like that.”

This morning, Al Roker defended the interview in all of its glory. Roker told Meredith Vieira that he believed he asked “what a lot people wanted to know.” Roker also defended himself against Heidi’s accusation that Roker treated her poorly, and that it was some kind of larger thing about Roker hating women. Roker said, “I’ve interviewed hundreds of women; never had a complaint… They are so unused to people actually asking them a real question. They don’t know how to handle it.” So true, Weatherman. Roker also gets a really good cut in about Spencer, saying that if Spencer had gotten physical, Roker would have dropped him “like a bag of dirt.” I would have gone with “like a bag of d-cks” but I approve:

Yesterday, when The Today Show’s Al Roker dared to ask reality TV loudmouths Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag some honest questions about their bratty behavior on the set of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, it was unlikely that the TV vet had any intention of making the newlyweds any more famous than they already are. But both the interview — and Speidi’s comments about it afterward — have pushed the reality stars even further into the spotlight.

On this morning’s edition of Today, Al defended himself against the allegations that he “persecuted” Spence and Heidi by not lobbing softball questions at them.

“I believe I asked what a lot people wanted to know,” Al told co-host Meredith Vieira. And as for Spencer’s statement that it was only by the grace of God that he didn’t physically attack the Today host, Roker commented, “If he had tried to come across, I would have dropped him like a bag of dirt.”

Regarding Heidi’s charge that Al has a problem with women, he countered, “I’ve interviewed hundreds of women; never had a complaint… They are so unused to people actually asking them a real question. They don’t know how to handle it.”

In the end, Roker seemed dumbfounded that two people of such meager accomplishments could cause such a stink. “There are a lot of celebrities who come on the show,” he said by comparison. “Who’ve actually done something, who act civil.”

So who won the battle in the long run? I’d say Al Roker, but I’m uncomfortable with all of the added publicity those professional douches got with this controversy. Spencer Pratt is overcome with his own smug, inane, douchetastic self that he’s even talking anew about his plans to run for political office. Back in April, Spencer declared that he would want to start his political career by running for mayor of Los Angeles, then governor of California, and then he would move on to another state and run for governor there. I’m not even joking – and my guess for the second governorship was Wyoming, by the way.

With this new publicity, Spencer is now talking about running for President. Of the United States, not the Republic of Douchistan. Spencer told OK!: “When I’m in the White House as the President of the United States, this beautiful amazing, country… Then I’ll be like, ‘Okay, I’ve done what I’ve dreamt my whole life to be.’ That was the game plan to become the most famous person on the planet, so when I’m campaigning, people will know who I am. No one knew who Obama was and now he’s the President. Just imagine what I’m capable of… I plan to be the President of the United States in the next 20 years.” If Spencer is president in 20 years, I’m going to take my chances in Douchistan. I’ll marry an authentic Douche and get a Douchistan green card. Because nothing could be worse than a Pratt Administration.

Yesterday, Jaybird covered the epic Today Show battle royale between Al “The Weatherman” Roker and Heidi “Dumb as a Box of Hair” Montag and Spencer “Waste of Space” Pratt. Apparently, Heidi and Spencer thought they were special enough to be interviewed by Matt Lauer, and when The Weatherman started asking them questions about how f-cking stupid they are, they were grossly offended. And yes, we shall now call Al Roker “The Weatherman” because Speidi can’t be bothered to learn or remember Al Roker’s name. Spencer and Heidi’s initial reaction was utter devastation at being called out for their “vacuous” behavior. Then, devastation turned into their normal douchiness. They sat down with US Weekly to film their “formal” reaction to the interview. And yes, Heidi makes weather puns. She actually says “Maybe someone rained on his little parade today.” Ha ha. Heidi’s so clever. I wish there was a tsunami of gunfire going off somewhere near Speidi.

Heidi and Spencer Pratt aren’t upset that Al Roker chastised them on Monday’s Today show. In fact, they’re still trying to figure out who he even is.

“People keep on referring to this weatherman like I’m supposed to know who he is,” Spencer tells Usmagazine.com hours after Roker — whom the Hills star admits he thought was just a fan from off the street — told him people think he acts like a jerk. “So a shout-out to Weatherman, who I guess got to even hang out with us this morning.”

Even Spencer’s wife Heidi thought the Today co-host went too far when asking if she was proud of her behavior on NBC’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here.

“This weather guy was definitely out of line, and he should stick to predicting cloudy days,” Heidi tells Us. “Maybe someone rained on his little parade today.”

Heidi, who complained that Roker didn’t thank them after the interview and made her cry after personally attacking her on national television, insists that he learn some manners.

“Please do not be rude to women in the future,” she says. “Please do not be rude to me. Please watch your tone, especially if you have a mother or a wife or a daughter. I don’t think that they would appreciate you talking to them like that.”

Still, the religious reality star is willing to let this one slide.

“I forgive you, you don’t even have to ask me, I already forgive you,” she says. “It’s OK. The devil gets into all of us sometimes. You’re forgiven. It’ll be a sunny day tomorrow, Weatherman!”

God, Heidi really is the pits, isn’t she? I always forget that she’s just as horrible as Spencer. Just when I think her ridiculousness can‘t get any worse, she comes out with “Please do not be rude to me. Please watch your tone, especially if you have a mother or a wife or a daughter. I don’t think that they would appreciate you talking to them like that.” Who does she think she is, Mother Teresa? Like she’s some kind of walking saint, deserving of the utmost care and respect. Oh, well. I hope The Weatherman gets a pay raise.
