Tom Brokaw relates this election to replacing Nixon in the Whitehouse

[whopis01]

On the Today Show this morning, Tom Brokaw was talking about his views on the election.

He said he woke up with the words of Gerald Ford going through his head saying "My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over."

I'm sure that he will have defenders who claim that he was just referring to the craziness of the election process - I already heard that from some people - but I am not buying it. He was clearly referring to the current administration as "our long national nightmare" and that it will be over after the election.

Not even the slightest attempt to appear like a legitimate journalist.

1. Brokaw's been brought back as a familiar transitional figure. He'll be gone soon.

He's visibly incompetent, and it isn't his age.

2. He has consistently

given negative buzz words or examples when talking about
President Obama..I have been so surprised at his lack
of decorum, not to mention lack of thought that he exercises
all too frequently.

3. Think You Might Be Taking It A Little Too Far

Not to defend Brokaw, but these 527s have completely taken over this campaign. I envy people who live in a solid blue or solid red state.

16. Agree. I think he was talking about the election process, starting with the clown party that was the

Republican nomination process. It went downhill from there with every week bringing another stupid statement by Romney or one of his supporters.

17. ...poster said in light of other statements...no, this one's subdued

4. Brokaw has been completely unmasked in this election.

5. What a hack. Even if he's talking about the campaign, the nightmare is just starting.

6. Brokaw was just looking for a reason to say the name Gerald Ford.

Thanks for the thread, whopis.

7. He did criticize Romney for failing to honor troops and military

Yesterday I saw him mentioning mistakes Romney made and he included Romney ignoring the troops and our military. Guess he is facing reality of probable Romney defeat

But seems like this was first time I heard him call out Romney rather than making snide remarks about Obama.

8. Where as, we used to think that he was credible...

we now see him as just another old, angry white guy who has lost it.

10. "just another RICH, old, angry white guy who has lost it.

9. Paw Paw got his meds mixed up again

The only thing missing is the drool.

11. Brokaw has turned into a partisan political hack of the first order.

His 15 minutes of fame are over.

[TwilightGardener]

12. Didn't Brokaw have a stroke or something? I don't expect him

to be lucid, at any rate. I expect him to ramble on some more about how awesome teh forties were.

[AtomicKitten]

13. Brokaw's shelf life has expired. He really should retire.

[wildeyed]

14. Loathe that man.

Uptight and nasty, that one.

15. Tom Brokenow can kiss my Snow White wrinkled ass! n/t

[Autumn]

25. You tell him to brush his teeth first

Don't take any chances with your health.

[arthritisR_US]

27. LOL! Trust a fellow Dem to look after my good health

[mzmolly]

18. He appeared to be speaking about the long election process, not the

President. Bad analogy, regardless.

[LukeFL]

21. He's. An asshole

Lost respect for him a long time ago. He had no journalistic integrity.

[maxrandb]

22. Is this the same Tom Brokaw

who argued that "Rush Limbaugh's opinion ought to be included when discussing the news", or something like that.

Anyone who thinks Limpballs or Insanity are worthy of more than derision is an ASSHAT!

[GeorgeGist]

23. I relate Tom Brokaw to Joe Paterno.

He should have quite when he was ahead.

[JI7]

26. he did but they seem to keep dragging him out again

i think the guy is senile and his thoughts memories etc are all mixed up.

[madokie]

24. Brokass is about as slimy as they come

No pretense with these assholes any more. In our face shoving it down our throats. gawd they make me sick
