I doubt it. It was all about Brokaw helping to get the WW II Memorial and not about wanting the presstitutes represented. The presstitutes made no secret of their hatred for Ford for pardoning Nixon.
I didn't listen to Brokaw because I refuse to ever again sit through anything he has to say after his debacle at OU. He took potshots at Pres Bush as well as at the graduates for not being members of the 'greatest generation.' And then said the President was selected not elected. If my son wasn't graduating, I would have have gotten up and walked out like some others.
