Well Brokaw really isn't going anywhere. I saw tonight that NBC announced that Brokaw had signed a 10 year contract to do specials & Etc.. So we really haven't seen the last of Brokaw anymore than of Rather, both are just shifting to another venue.
See these guys don't fade away they just move to another department in the News Division. They will be there until they drop while on the job.
Any hopes that Brokaw was going to Montana permanently were very premature.

Tom, all right already. Enough with the self-serving accolades.

Get off the stage and let some other haircut in a suit take over.

We can't wait to see which stepford husband that will be.

Yawn.

I believe Tom Brokaw was the guy who said the 1994 election was a "temper tantrum by angry white males."

In other words, this parasite does not understand the difference between a democratic election, governed by due process of law, and an uncontrolled emotional outburst.

Now, why is it I should care about this A-hole one way or the other?

Little will change at NBC news. Brian Williams is as liberally biased as Brokaw ever was - and a stuffed shirt, too. However, it is good to have Brokaw out of the anchor chair because of the "respect" automatically accorded that position by sheeple. The same can be said for Rather at CBS. The new guys will not be imbued with the gravitas of news reader/father figure for a while and viewers will become open for a time to further education about media bias.

Anybody watch the special 2-hour Tom Brokaw Retrospective this past Friday night? Me neither.

2 hours? It was more like a week. Seriously, Brokaw was full of himself his final week on the air.

Hey Tom, I hope there's a lot of hunting on the property next to yours in Montana.

Doubt it. Throught a jackbooted liberal court he's banned hunting on and around his property, including 2,700 acres of property he doesn't own because he fears for the safety of himself and his family.

I will never forget election night 1980, when Brokaw said something to effect of "Our NBC exit polling has shown a large last minute movement to------(long pause) Reagan." He looked like he just just fouled himself as he said it, priceless.
