I thought Tom Brokow had retired, get tired of him & his blabbing on Meet The Press, talking about

how President Obama needs to work more with republicans.

because you can read the news doesn't mean you should comment on it.

4. Brokaw is GE's front man sent out to tell the rest of us it isn't the fault of Stupid White Men.

Like Brokaw is some sort of political genius.

He read a teleprompter for a living, with copy written for him by other people.

He is as much a political maven as one of my shoes.

7. If he is supposed to be teaching us that it is not the fault of Stupid White Men then he is failing.

11. What, you don't trust Tom Brokaw to tell you the unvarnished truth?

Some people, I swear, they just don't trust anyone.

After they left the scene, the rest are all paid flackers for their boss's agenda.

The repukes can't even decide what they want, can't pass their own plan. Someone needs to ask tommy "So, by working more with them, do you really mean giving the Republicans everything they might want, so that your personal taxes don't go up, Rich Boy?"

10. Brokaw was the only one of the Big Three from the 90s to last

Peter Jennings died and Rather was set up and disgraced over nothing.

Coincidentally, Brokaw was the most conservative of the three. He was still a reporter, first, something we really haven't had since the 90s.

However, he's just as blind as the rest of the right when it comes to who is creating the logjam in Congress.
