STFU Tom Brokaw

[malaise]

What's historic is the first woman not the first fucking carnival barker. You don't have to be a tool because Don the Con made you feel important at some sports stadium. The only thing historical tonight is the first female Presidential candidate whether you love or hate her.

Now go kiss George Bush's ass and fuck off!! You disgust me.

[MFM008]

1. Yeah I think

Dementia means your a winger.

[nolabear]

2. Geez. What on earth did he do?

[HipChick]

3. he pissed off malaise

that's enough for me..

[nolabear]

4. LOL!

[malaise]

9. When whichever Katie was pointing out the historic nature of tonight's speech

he interrupted with some crap about Trump being a non-politician rah rah rah.- he just pissed me off.

[nolabear]

12. Well hell then, I'm pissed too. Actually as someone who aspired to be a journalist

I respect Brokaw a lot for having been there. But the inability of the talking heads to actually follow a train of thought all the way into the station makes me insane. So I feel ya!

[DURHAM D]

14. Saw that and it pissed me off.

Hopefully this is near the end of when anyone thinks that old relic has anything worthwhile to say.

[Stellar]

5. aww...you're too kind! nt

[malaise]

[Greybnk48]

6. What Malaise said ^^^^^^^^. n/t

[demwing]

7. Wait...America has had many female candidates for POTUS

I keep reading this here, and I don't know if it's an error, or rhetorical shorthand for "first female candidate in the Democratic Party"

[stopbush]

8. Major party female candidate.

[malaise]

11. I met Shirley Chisolm in my great aunt's home in New York

I know - major party candidate - and it is historic.

[Wednesdays]

24. Hillary is

the first nominee. That's the distinction.

[demwing]

27. In the Democratic Party...

other parties have nominated women, but it is often discussed as if Hillary were the first.

[miyazaki]

13. He's a bitter old crotch. n/t

[spanone]

15. he was a good journalist before his profession turned into infotainment.

sad he went along with it....

[malaise]

16. True but he's old enough, rich enough to speak the truth

and stop thinking it's about him.
The difference between CSpan's coverage and the rest of them speaks volumes. It's about people getting the chance to see for themselves versus interests who think their version of what we can see for ourselves is the way we must interpret it. Fuck those fucking fucks spanone. They're destroying our planet - saw a guest tell them today she is not interested in a President as must see TV - apparently that's what Thomas Roberts wants - stupid a$$hole.

[spanone]

17. agreed....100%

it always amazed me how people who are hired to READ the news....become 'experts' of the news they are reporting on.....

makes no sense

[krawhitham]

18. It's like you're inside by brain

[malaise]

22. LOL

[mulsh]

19. The only thing he has is a sonorous voice. it's what passes for gravitas in most media circles.

n/t

[kairos12]

20. The Greatest Generation he is not.

[phylny]

21. Whenever I feel sour about Tom Brokaw, and I often do,

I say "Rory McIlroy" in my best Brokaw voice to my husband and we almost wet our pants laughing.

Sorry, I had to share this. Try it.

[malaise]

23. Hahahahahhahah

Choking with laughter

[xmas74]

25. I watched CBS and they were absolutely glowing

about her speech.

[rufus dog]

26. Did he bring up the Donald having him introduced at a boxing match again?

I heard that last week and couldn't believe it. What an egotistical asshole that he thinks his mumbling fucking ass being introduced at a boxing match has anything to do with an election.

[malaise]

29. Neither could I

What an ego - it's always about them

[arthritisR_US]

28. Your thoughts were very cathartic for me, thank you! nt

[malaise]

30. You're welcome
