Tacky Lee Gifford Asks About Martin Short's Dead Wife (and the Morning Links)

In case you didn’t catch it yesterday, in one of live television’s more uncomfortable moments, on the mid-morning edition of “The Today Show,” noted drunkard Kathie Lee Gifford asked Martin Short how his wife is and then proceeded to talk about what a wonderful marriage they have.

Gifford apologized after the show.
