1. Seriously? Are you kidding me?
Thank God I don't have to go around defining myself solely by what I did 40 years ago . . . I think I have evolved some since then.

2. I once had respect for Tom
No more. In the interest of civility, I refrain from further comment.
Except for a smiley.

6. No wonder Keith wants Tom gone
We had a candidate in 2004 that was a Vietnam Vet and he was mocked for his service by the Repubes. I guess service to your country is only honorable if your a Republican.

10. Got it in one
To this lot, the single and only judgement as to your value as a human being is which party you vote for. It's politics on teh Bill O'Lielly model.

12. Relax; Tom Brokaw is a Fossil
The old corporate media; is beginning to calcify; into an old fossil. It won't last much longer in the new Youtube age. It will soon be a relic.
