Tom Brokaw is shocked and stunned at Herman Cain's web ad that features his Chief of Staff smoking a cigarette.
Brokaw did not appreciate the cigarette because of the damage smoking does to one's body. Brokaw even went so far as to say Cain should rename his 9-9-9 plan to include cancers and diseases one gets from smoking.
"I must say on the Cain thing, I was stunned by that ad that he did with his campaign manager, ending up smoking a cigarette. Which, in my judgment, is one of the great health hazards in America in terms of lethal diseases, and also the costs of it all. I think that maybe 9-9-9 stands for get nine months to live with lung cancer, nine months to live with emphysema, nine months to live with coronary artery disease. I can't imagine why they thought that was an effective image," Brokaw said on "Meet the Press."

I don't care who you are (but I know), that was funny.
Only the old timers know what that is all about.

Mr Brokaw must “stun” more easily than most folks.

"I can't imagine why they thought that was an effective image," Brokaw said on "Meet the Press."Here's a clue, Tom.
Cain smoking ad brings flood of donations
Cain has brought in nearly $2 million within the last week alone, nearly doubling his weekly returns earlier this month,...
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I’m stunned that somene who sounds like he has a mouthful of marbles and can’t pronounce the letter ‘L’ could be an anchor on a network newscast.

He’s delicate. He’s never known anyone who smokes although he knows plenty of communists, theives, liars and whores.

***Tom Brokaw is still alive???***** His body maybe, but his brain died years ago... That's okay. He wasn't using it anyway.

Don’t think it would take much to stun Tom Brokaw. He’s pretty ancient, senile and was never too bright.

What's that saying from Ghandi?
First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. Then they fight you. Then you win.
Looks like Cain is at stage III. Looking good.
To: i88schwartz
Go 'way Tom! Your time has passed and now you need to pass from the scene.
You are no longer relevant, Tom. Go 'way!
