Browkaw just plays the POW card for McShame.

[deminks]

Unbelievable. No, believable. I got caught watching cable when I shoulda been watching CSpan. Anyway, he was asked what he thought of Bubba's criticism of McCain, and he says (paraphrasing) You have to be so careful criticizing McCain cause He was sitting in a prison while Clinton was writing to try to get out of being sent to Vietnam. (Where was Chimp, btw) I immediately switched channels. So the press is playing the POW card for him and still.

Outrageous.:grr:

6. Brokaw has always been full of shit

What else did you think has been partially filling his mouth resulting in his unique vocal style?

7. Well he may have always been full of it, but as I said, I always liked him. nt

2. i heard that shit....i once respected him when he reported the news. now that he comments on news...

3. Thanks for confirming -- It was my reaction too...What is it with Brokaw?

Is he an out and out Tool, or what?

I just mentioned this to the person sitting next to me and he didn't think I was "perceiving" it correctly...Bullshit!..I KNOW he played that card...After the POW comment, he also mentioned as to how "Democrats have a long way to go before they win over Vietnam Vets"...NO attribution whatsoever. Bullshit, again.:puke:

Tom Brokaw agrees: You can't criticize John McCain because he was a POW. The word has come down from on high
