Sure Tom.

You retired 20+ years ago, and we are all tired of playing
stupid games for stupid prizes.

I don’t think I’ve watched any network news since Sam Donaldson was still a White House correspondent.

Tom Brokaw comes a cross as a very nice pleasant person. But, I have a friend who is in the news business and he listed Brokaw as a complete horses petoot. The real Tom Brokaw is a nasty piece of work.

I thought he retired a long time ago. I guess in recent years his role has been similar to what Brit Hume’s is on Fox News.

Piece of trash and a lying weasel. My greatest memory of him was on Election Night, 1980: “Our exit polling shows a dramatic change toward....Reagan.”

In the beginning he was a decent newsman, especially when compared to the trash that sits in front of the camera today.

Barf. Hopefully he dies soon and we never hear of him again. Yes, it is okay to wish death upon your enemies.
