Yikes! Tom Brokaw Mocks Mitt Romney’s ‘White Man Overbite’

Mar. 7, 2012 1:55pm Christopher Santarelli

With panel guests David Gregory, Chuck Todd, and Tom Brokaw all on Morning Joe’s morning-after Super Tuesday coverage, you would think that the NBC News A-team would maintain a level of maturity, right? Wrong.

“Everyone’s just a little bit tired,” MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski observed after “Nightly News” legend Tom Brokaw mocked Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s “white man overbite.”

The imitation came as the panel was discussing what Republican candidates were doing to consolidate conservative support.

“The hard part for the Romney campaign now is, they’ve got to figure out how to gently nudge the conservatives into their corner without looking like it’s forced upon them,” Chuck Todd noted. “The more you force this, the more you see the conservative voter say, ‘Hey, hey, hey, no, you can’t do this to establishment.’ There’s the reason the Tea Party arose. Got to be very careful not to sort of force this. They’ve got to organically force it, if you can do both at the same time.”

“I have not seen that dance step from the Romney campaign,” Brokaw interjected. “I mean, that’s a really slow move, and he tends to go one way and crashes into the wall and goes out or you know, he goes out and does the white man overbite!”

Its not hard to speculate that conservatives will likely react to Brokaw’s impression by offering the poignant comparison that if a similar antic was applied by a panelist on say, Fox News, about a Democratic politician, outcry from liberal media watchdogs calling for the joker’s head would almost certainly ensue:

  I can’t believe such a racist comment is laughed about. Kinda like calling conservative women sl-ts and laughing about it. All men are created equal unless they are conservative? Hypochrites!

  Someone should comfort that piece of crap Tom Brokaw, and let him know he won’t have to worry about things that really bother him like Mitt Romney, and instead very shortly Brokaw’s money will not go very far as everyone goes bankrupt, and then Brokaw can run away from all the falling pieces of asteroid.

  Tom Brokaw’s comment doesn’t really bother me— being a Mitt supporter.
  But what does bother me is that there is SUCH a double standard with comments like these. If a conservative talk show host or guest made a comment like this about a liberal, it would be the big news story of the day.

These people think they are the greatest. Their flippant remarks, their smug profiles, their intellectual bantering. All a true mark of their ungroundedness. They hate that they are ‘white’. What a bunch of idiots. “Let’s all see who could put the white man down in the most clever way.” Oooooooo…..oooooooo. They are the most. They are the cool ones in the room. Man, are they smart! They are racist against themselves. HA!

What they are is pathetic. They think knowing Obama makes themself a better person. They need to be forgiven by him that they are white.

Hey! We are what we are! Be happy that you all, at least have ‘brown noses’.

When these rude, crude and socially unacceptable news people are sitting there with their thumbs up…….. and other people are getting plum interviews, maybe they will think before they open their venemous mouths.

What do you expect? Look at the members of the panel. Each of these buffoons is nothing more than a very biased newsreader who insists on pretending that he is a fair-minded journalist. The joke is that they call themselves journalist.

Brokaw can’t get out his sentence without spewing a “you know” and then repeating himself. That’s a sure sign the he’s inadequate as a journalist. He’s just a water carrier for Obama who needs someone else to write what he reads on the air. Go home, Tom. You promised us you were quiting years ago.

  ARMINANISM; I had to laugh although I should not have. The nasty part of me (that does show its evil face at times, and I regret later) was going to refer to the way BHO’s lips turn purple and tighten when he is really ticked off.. Did you notice the phrase nudge? Sounds familar. We have heard that one before. They just spin away.They think we are so ignorant that we can’t see through their little play of words.

  The comment had nothing to do with Mr. Romneys looks. The term “white overbite” is a derogatory term used to describe the facial expression white people make while dancing. It is a comment about the facial expressions that he uses on occasion.
