NBC News special correspondent Tom Brokaw was taken by ambulance to a Charlotte hospital this morning after an appearance on MSNBCs Morning Joe.
Brokaw, 72, who stepped down as anchor of Nightly News after the 2004 election, has been working a break-neck pace the last two weeks first at the RNC and this week at the DNC. Brokaw has been up early, appearing on Morning Joe, then reporting throughout the day and into the night. Last night, he appeared on Sean Hannitys Fox News show.
An MSNBC spokesperson tells TVNewser, On the set of Morning Joe this morning, Tom Brokaw felt light-headed. Out of an abundance of caution, he was taken to a hospital and is being evaluated.
A gifted storyteller, and best-selling author, during his 7am appearance, Brokaw relayed a story involving former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin:
There was a party at the top of a hotel yesterday, said Brokaw. A very sleek, modern hotel, and the glass is not exactly clear in terms of where you step next. So Bob Rubin, former Secretary of the Treasury, stepped confidently into the party room and deeply into the pool.
Not embarrassed enough to speak out against NBC's rush to the bottom.
Not embarrassed enough to walk away from the filth and preserve his own dignity.
Dittos to Tom getting better. Maybe even the lies and propaganda from the radical left are taking a toll on him.
Much of it has already kicked in.
Regardless of my disdain for his political ideology and affiliations, I pray to God for his well being and that of his family.

I think I will button my lip....
Maybe the shock of being on Fox News this morning was too much for him.
Brian Williams bows to Obama
Bill Clinton bows to Obama
Maybe the shock of being on Fox News this morning was too much for him.
No comment, is the best I can do.
I really have nothing to say. These people are our enemies.
Perhaps he choked on one of the marbles he seems to keep in his mouth.
God would like to have a word with you.....
Sincerely,
St. Peter
I don’t think Brokaw is a bad guy, just brainwashed like the rest of them.
Prayers for his recovery.
Maybe they found what was stuck in mouth?
“A gifted storyteller,”
Thats a telling description of a newsman
Perhaps Tom finally realized Obama’s ‘world view’ and was simply swooning.
About 15 years ago, I flew into Newark on an almost empty plane and he sat behind me. When we stood to get our stuff out of the overhead bins, I was impressed with only one thing: I am 6'3" and he was taller than me.
I never could stand him for a minute, but I wish him a speedy recover from whatever.
I noted that as well...
I was watching fb last night and didn’t see him with Hannity, which was probably too much for him with no puff piece questions.
