Tom Brokaw: "There is a sisterhood building around the country"

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

"There is a sisterhood building around the country behind Sarah Palin... at least based on my annecdotal sense of things..." (MSNBC Circa 7:45 EST)

Fer Fuck's sake... just... just go drown yourself in the toilet Tom.

Seriously.

1. lol

[Tansy_Gold]

2. Yeah, it's the anti-Palin sisterhood of REAL women.

sheesh

[Sequoia]

I'm joining your club sista!

Handmaiden Sarah's Club...NO WAY !!!

[avaistheone1]

13. You got that right.

:yourock:

Why would REAL women want to support an anti-women candidate like Palin?
It's not going to happen.

[trueblue2007]

16. yeah there is. Sisterhood of the Women who HATE Sarah Palin

and everything she stands for

[pansypoo53219]

60. sisterhood of the traveling snow pants?

yeppers. i needs to take out a moose too.

[Arugula Latte]

21. Yep. That pick pissed off WAY more woman than it brought into the fold.

Jesus H. Christ. Tom Brokaw has become a sad, sad little man.

[NotThisTime]

37. I'm there with ya my sister...

[Generic Other]

38. sign me up

:crazy:

[Iris]

41. Yep - that's the one I'm experiencing. I've even considered a meet-up

cause, frankly,my husband is tired of hearing me rant about it!

[ismnotwasm]

44. For real

Gawd. Brokaw is an idiot

[eleny]

3. Moose. Shit.

[BeyondGeography]

4. Sorry, Tom, your taxes are finally going to go up

[ErinBerin84]

7. lol. my thoughts exactly.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

5. Whoooooooosh.....

:hurts:

[graywarrior]

6. What does he know about sisterhood?

Retire already.

[erinlough]

8. If there is a sisterhood forming

I will only join if its aim is to KICK TOM IN THE ASS AND OUT THE DOOR!

That from a 56 year old fem.

[erinlough]

9. dupe sorry

[RagAss]

10. Go home you tired old fuck !!!

[SmileyRose]

11. LOL - didn't they say voting Hillary because she's a woman was WRONG?

I tell ya, either the "journalists" in this country all have brain damage, or the American electorate does and they are pandering to it - I can't figure which.

[BrklynLiberal]

12. That has got to be the stupidest thing Brokaw has EVER said.

Has he really lost ALL his marbles???

[sandnsea]

14. No, the sisterhood is against her

but keep dreaming Tom. :crazy:

[Raster]

You know, I really hate Tim Russert. I could have tolerated Timmeh, really I could have.

Brokaw, not a chance.

[Gabi Hayes]

39. I couldn't stand Russert, but he, at least, kept a tight lid on it, usually, during

campaign coverage

Brokaw has really unmasked his true feelings over the last few months

I'd LOVE to hear what Olbermann has to say about this tired-old-has-been-alcoholic-speech-defective NEWSREADER

[C_U_L8R]

15. Tom, you have no clue

go home and ask your mother

[spanone]

17. this is such horseshit....the media is trying hard to get back in mccrooks good blessings

[childslibrarian]

18. Actually there is a sisterhood

Against Palin. This may have been the biggest f****** mistake that Repub men have ever made. My 76 year old mother is outraged and she has voted Repub for 20 years.
She says she will not vote for McCain. She is personally insulted. Gee, so am I.

[RepublicanElephant]

19. yeah...

"the sisterhood of the traveling sychophants"

geez.

[Borgnine]

20. How can one develop an annecdotal sense of things...

...when he's been doing nothing but talking non-stop with Republicans for the last three days?

God, why can't he stay retired?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

31. That's an excellent point! He's been in the convention hall all week.

[old guy]

45. Anecdotal sense?

Who has he been talking to? Washington Ave. hookers? Just askin'.

[tigereye]

74. every time I hear his voice I run screaming from the room

God I miss Peter Jennings. He was a model of sanity by comparison.

[kstewart33]

22. What is wrong with him?

My husband (we're both profs) went to a department retreat today, and the subject of Palin came up. Every woman in the room just laughed.

I wonder how the sisterhood will feel when the details of her affair come out.

[Prefer]

27. Racist

[ClarkUSA]

23. The McCain campaign threatened to boycott the NBC debate due to "sexism"

So the men at MSNBC are bending over backwards to appear enthused.

[bigwillq]

24. Nope. Sorry you're wrong, Tom.

Women are not dumb enough to fall for Palin's BS. And yours, Tom.

[msallied]

25. It's behind Sarah Palin because we're going to push her shrill ass off the cliff!

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

26. Good evening, Tom, and welcome to Journalism 101...

Tonight we're going to learn about independent corroboration of sources.

I think we can sum up tonights lesson thusly:

INTERVIEWING THREE RIGHT-WING REPULBICAN TOOLS DOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE'S A "MOVEMENT" GOING ON. IT MEANS THAT THEY'RE USING YOU TO REPEAT THEIR LAME TALKING ABOUT POINTS.

Geez, this guy needs to be put out to pasture, and I mean right fucking now.

[Geek_Girl]

28. His "annecdotal sense of things" is lacking

or he's just lacking sense

[jillan]

29. Not this sister.

[lapfog_1]

30. Enjoy

http://tubearoo.com/articles/60556/SNL_Dana_Carvey_Tom_Brokaw.html

[Epiphany4z]

32. funny everything I have read

everyone I have talked to except a couple of rw men I know...dislike this woman and feel she is exploiting her kid for political gain. They are also insulted that this is what the rw hold up as a stand in for Hillary.

[RayOfHope]

33. I need some contact info for this asshole so I can give him a piece of my mind.

Not this sister Tom.

His anecdotal sense of things? Have you even been outside of your bubble this week?

[Solomon]

34. This is just a great thread. LOL

Funny as hell.

He perfectly illustsrates the problem with the republicans. All's that's left is crusty old white men. Meandering old farts. On the other side, youth, vigor, vitality, dynamism.

I can't believe what they looked like last night. Old, old, old and outmoded. Set In Their Ways.

[bronxiteforever]

35. The sisterhood of the mumbling anchor? Wasn't that a book?

n/t

[philly_bob]

36. Founding member: Katherine Harris n/t

[BumRushDaShow]

40. I watched him earlier surprisingly trying to code-talk to Olbermann

when Olbermann tried his hardest to hold back his disgust and Brokaw basically seemed to code that the "narrative" that they were spouting would basically (only) apply to the repuke convention attendees, who would be enthusiastic about this candidate...

I'm seeing more and more talking heads beginning to break under the stress of maintaining the lunatic fringe talking points.

[truebrit71]

42. Tom Brokejaw is SERIOUSLY off his meds if believes that pile of stinking horseshit...

...time for him to be put out to pasture again...

[Overseas]

43. Sisterhood of the Forever Pregnant? Sisterhood of the Traveling Papoose? //nt

[CitizenPatriot]

46. that's kinda insulting tommy

you should not, as a man, talk about "sisterhood" building . wtf would you know about a sisterhood? and if there is a sisterhood building, it is an anti-palin club. FRIEND.

[progressivebydesign]

47. Tom, you ignorant slut!

Seriously.. there is a sisterhood of women gathering against her!

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

48. Wasn't Brokaw a journalist once?

It must have been back when dinosaurs were walking the earth.

[hvn_nbr_2]

49. Brokaw's anecdotal sense of things:

He asked all the women at the country club dressed in tin foil or wearing large rocks on their fingers.

[eShirl]

50. fuck you, Brokejaw

[CakeGrrl]

51. Yeah. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuits will kick Ms. Mooseburger's ass back to AK. n/t

[Miss Chybil]

52. Sisterhood of the Traveling Moose-Killers

:rofl:

[vixengrl]

53. Dear Tom Brokaw--Meet real women!

This is not a typical internet come-on! Not all women are, for example, GOP political operatives. Most of them are not Feminists4Life! (You should see their gang-tattooes--graphic, is all I'm saying!) Many are the conventional kind who believe in reproductive freedom and choice and are put off by sanctimony and not a few are secularists who think creationism and god-bothering, especially the anti-semite, "Yay, endtimes!" kind, is really dodgy.

Those Palin-loving sisters aren't even *cousins* to women I know.

[mokawanis]

54. Anecdotal sense of things?

Does Brokaw have Alzheimer's?

This guy down at the bar told me he intuitively feels Palin will only sink McSame's candidacy, so I guess that's gospel now huh?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

62. He's in the Republican convention hall, and extrapolating national trends from it

[my3boyz]

55. Shut the hell up Tom! Please go back to being retired! No one is lining up

behind her except right wing hacks like you!

[1Hippiechick]

56. Adds a whole new meaning to "The Divinie Secrets of the Yup-Yup Sisterhood" n/t

[RepublicanElephant]

57. ha-ha! doesn't it look like brokaw is "minding" chuck todd to make

sure he doesn't step out of line.

oh boy.
brokaw just said troopergate wasn't important.
is she being deposed behind this?
isn't this why she hired a lawyer?

i think this is important.

[goodgd_yall]

58. How dare he co-opt "sisterhood"

Or any other Republican. But, that's the Rove way, co-opting language.

[Honeycombe8]

59. "Let's send her some bacon!" (from that cool hotel commercial)

[aaronbees]

61. "Anecdotal" = lie .......... eom

[undeterred]

63. The sisterhood is gonna kick your ass.

[lob1]

64. Brokaw has gone nuts. Remember at the dems convention, where he was

telling (as I remember) Keith & Tweety that the high angle camera shot was no good...the shot was too regal and the right would nail Obama for it. Keith and Tweety stared at each other. Keith pointed out that 1. the right shouldn't blame Obama for a shot taken by the NETWORK. And 2. Why should pubs think the shot is too "regal", when the overhead shot is used in sports all the time. Brokaw grumbled something the right will see it as too regal anyway. It was jibberish and left me sitting there wondering if he believed what was coming out of his own mouth.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

66. Yup. That was a weird moment

[ladyVet]

65. riiiiight

The Sisterhood of Real Women Who are Going to Kick the Bitch Back to Alaska. Now taking membership applications.

[FVZA_Colonel]

67. Then why do the polls keep saying that women are disturbed and offended by her selection?

[minnesota_liberal]

68. Sisterhood of the Traveling Freeper Pants

They're not accepting any new recruits. Members must be female and already freepers.

[ncteechur]

69. Brokaw is completely out of touch.

[GoesTo11]

70. Must have got the same talking points as Chuck Todd

There's another thread on Chuck saying "women want her to succeed" - sounds like they're trying to establish this narrative out of thin air.

[Critters2]

71. It doesn't seem to include Peggy Noonan. nt

[yardwork]

72. I can't stop laughing!

OMG this is the most fun I've had in months.

[bullwinkle428]

73. FUCK YOU, Brokejaw...go back to your sheep ranch and leave us alone!

:mad:

[Wapsie B]

75. Yeah, and the sisters wanna take you back to the middle of South Dakota

and beat some sense into your worthless ass.

[Mad_Dem_X]

76. Dude, you have no fucking clue.

Yes, there is a sisterhood - but it is nothing like what you think. Fuck off, Tom, you can't spin this one. Women are smarter than that.
