Tom Brokaw sat out the last White House Correspondents Association Dinner, and he plans to do it again in 2013. The veteran newsman says the increasing tabloid level go the invited guests is what ruined it for him. "For me the breaking point was Lindsay Lohan," Brokaw tells Politico. "She became a big star at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Give me a break."
The former "NBC Nightly News" anchor says the annual dinner must leave home viewers wondering, "'That's the Washington press corps?' I mean, there was more dignity at my daughter's junior prom than there is, what I'm seeing on C-SPAN here."

Brokaw recalls the year he took author and automobile magnate Lee Iacocca as his guest to the dinner, he ended the night embarrassed by all the drunk reporters asking for autographs.

Gee Tom, cry us a river, why don’t ya?
prolly more tommy's speed...
Tom is finding out he is not as sophisticated as he thought. He’s a talking head, someone that reads other people’s lines on TV.
Tom upstaged by LiLo — gotta luv it.
Well, Tom, so would you.
You are no more serious a person than they are.
It is no the attendees that ruin the white house correspondents dinner, it is the host. I doubt Lindsay Lohan would show up for a Republican president. I must think part of this outrage is all directed at the new media conservative outlets like Breibart and Drudge. It’s not the good old boys club any more. That lady who’s name will will not be mentioned less someone post her picture seemed to fit in with the good old boys for some reason.
I’d be willing to trust the underlying honesty of Lindsay Lohan or Donald Trump over Tom any day. They might be screwed up in the noggin, but they would probably be honest about what they thought they knew. And if they did lie, it would be for personal reasons, rather than to gain political influence.
What did he expect? The current office holder is like Jerry Springer without the class and decorum.
Could it be that Greta is trying to recruit Lindsay to join Scientology?
Why is this libtard bitching? They’re mostly obama ass-lickers in the entire room. He should be happy.
Or join wally concrete who’s brilliant summation of our “failure” in VN did nobody any good. Lyin’ asshat. The most trusted man in America my ass. Wonder how they would like being spit at/on and made to feel lower than whale shhht. Maybe it wasn’t the actual war that screwed people up. Maybe it was being denigrated and made to feel like a loser when we were in uniform.
Help an English speaker out: What does this mean?
Yeah, I know.....tabloid journalists lack funds for proof-readers or spell-checkers? I suspect “go” was supposed to be “of”.
