Tom Brokaw is such a gasbag

[woolldog]

Can't stand listening to him and his false balance.

Look he has a great voice. That's why he is where he is. Not because he's a fount of intelligence and wisdom as he holds himself out to be. Can't understand why he's on MSNBC. He couldn't hold Rachel Maddow's (Rhode's Scholar) jock strap.

1. Look he has a great voice. And he was handsome. That's why he is where he is.

[Zoeisright]

2. He's a complete repuke pig.

Why he is still on the air is beyond me. I hate his guts.

[swayne]

3. Whose idea was it to let him pontificate? He was a NEWS READER for heavens sake.

[Jennicut]

4. "Obama will not be remembered as a great President" so far.

Yuck.

At one point back in the 90's I thought he was a decent guy. But once he actually started stating opinions...
he can go and crawl under a rock now.

[blm]

9. He was OK til he went to Jack Welch Re-education Camp in the early 90s along with Russert

and followed by David Gregory.

[Faith9326]

5. I just turned The Cycle off because of him

[flamingdem]

6. He has a voice with that semi lisp on "L"

disagree with voice quality, though it's certainly famous for its familiarity

[okwmember]

7. I'll never understand

why people defer to his opinion. Even when he was the nightly anchor, his reputation was never as a great reporter.

[DURHAM D]

8. True

He was always just a reader, never a thinker.

[pointsoflight]

10. You're not balanced if it's obvious to all viewers who you're voting for.

[fugop]

11. Broadcast News airhead?

Don't some think the good-looking yet dopey anchor played by William Hurt might have been based on Brokaw? If not, he could have been.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

12. Why is he even allowed on MSNBC?

He has nothing but contempt for everyone on that network, just like his pals Brian Williams, Dances With Rove Gregory, and Fuck Toad.

[woolldog]

13. They're supposed to give MSNBC

some "gravitas" and "balance".

Instead they just provide a lot of hot air

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

14. Great voice? Whoever started referring to him as marble mouth is spot on. I can't

understand half of what he says. Just imagine him saying "Lilly Ledbetter is laying low in Jallalabad." I think it would give him a seizure.

[11 Bravo]

15. Wrong bag ... "douche", not "gas".
