DAVID GREGORY LOOKS LIKE GERALDO WITH A NAKED UPPER LIP

Does anybody know what the space where a moustache goes is called? It is not an upper lip. Brokaw has very thin lips, but a large moustache pad (a chimp attribute, like Dave Greg the chimp. This is the real reason DG got the job- big moustache pad chimp loyalty. Tom couldn't find another newsman with the same big moustache pad).

I call the pad an upper lip in this clip anyway.

(In this clip) I am critical of Tom Brokaw as of the soft-ball tossing fluff peddler. But now that his temporary post at has lapsed and Russert's permanent replacement has been announced I am nostalgic for him.

David Gregory?
Notice I reference David Gregory in a neutral fashion and disparage Brokaw as emblematic of the soft approach of mainstream news. I now regret this, as I will miss the relative gravity Tom's deep voice brought to the program in the wake of Russert's death, forget what he was actually saying. Now we've got to deal with Gregory, who sounds like a high school suck-up doing earnest announcements over the PA. Yeah, his White House press room confrontations were refreshingly combative. But in a show-off way. And maybe Brokaw is a softball tosser. But he has some soulful oats in his stuffing. Not like Gregory, whose Richie Cunningham exoskeleton is filled with something which, whatever it is, adds up to a much less cozy, reassuring presentation than Brokaw or someone of equal gravity, regardless of content. More cozy Cronkite please.


Give me Brokaw back. At least when you hear him talk you he sounds serious and not like you're hearing announcements over the PA in high school by some earnest suck-up.
Can;t the younger generation produce somebody with the reassuring gravity and cozy deep voice of a Brokaw?
