Ol' Marble Mouth

I've always been a big fan of Tom Brokaw, because people with speech impediments are hilarious on TV. But what's this shit he pulled on Meet the Press?

Last Sunday, Brokaw moderated a discussion between McCain strategist Steve Schmidt and Obama strategist David Axelrod. After hashing out the Iraq war, the Wall Street bailout, and whether or not people like him more than Tim Russert, Brokaw gave himself the last word in what felt like a political endorsement and smelled like horseshit:

In fairness to everybody here, I'm just going to end on one note. And that is that we continue to poll on who's best equipped to be Commander in Chief, and John McCain continues to lead in that category despite the criticism from Barack Obama by a factor of 53 to 42 percent in our latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. Gentlemen, thank you very much.

Move On checked, and the current NBC poll had no question about either candidate's fitness for the big chair. The network hadn't polled on that issue in almost two months.

Sigh... try as I might, I just can't stay mad at Tommy Boy. I mean, the dude said "bukkake" on national television!
