Barbecue Brokaw

The NY Times profiles the amount and flavor of barbecue sauce on Brokaw’s face.

Asked if time he had spent with Mr. McCain — as contrasted with Mr. Obama, whom he does not know socially — would be of any help to Mr. McCain in the debate, Mr. Brokaw promised it would not.

Yeah right. Not only is Brokaw a barbecue buddy, but as you’ll see in the article, he has something to prove to the McCain campaign.

You know, Brokaw, sometimes the McCain campaign is wrong and there isn’t an equivalent wrongness from the Obama campaign. NBC — be it Brokaw or Stretch or whoever — is wallowing in this fake balance concept and it’s, as Jon Stewart once said, “hurting the country.”

Same with CNN, in fact. Last night, Anderson Cooper was going through Palin’s ridiculous CBS interview responses, and they felt the need to mention Senator Biden’s “gaffes.” This isn’t balance. As JumpyPants wrote last night, Senator Biden misspoke a couple of times. Palin, on the other hand, is wildly out of her depth and simply doesn’t know what she’s talking about. There’s a huge difference.

    I liked Tom Brokaw back when he was the anchor of NBC Nightly News in the days of Jennings and Rather. Rather was easy to hate. Jennings held a sot-spot cuz he was a Canuck. Brokaw had an almost Cronkite-esque veritas.It’s stings a bit to witness either his metamorphosis or coming out as a biased hack determined to gin up the story to meet his expectations. It will be sad and pathetic if he displays that bias in moderating the debate.Pfft. If you want to nail the remains of your carcass to a rotting, sinking, rat-infested barge like the McCain campaign, there’s room over there next to the rest of them.I gotta coupla fresh posts up on the Palin Brain – I think the one on USSC decisions is worth a glance.http://cousinavi.wordpress.com/2008/09/30/palin-brain-bench-warmer/
