Tom Brokaw Officially Sanctions John McCain POWing Himself Out Of Any, All Criticism

…or so he took time out from his busy schedule elbow-dropping Keith Olbermann to announce to an incredulous Chris Matthews:

Now before you lefties panic that even the dean of the media old guard has been straight talked into bed with McCain, Brokaw is from South Dakota and, as a proud plainsman, was simply hewing to an old ranchers' code, detailed below:

The Brokaw Code

If You…	You Can…
Ace a chemistry exam.	Hang up the phone on your grandmother on her birthday.
Save a kitten.	Punch a homeless woman.
Cure AIDS	Cluster bomb Disney World
Endure five years of torture in a POW camp.	Lie with impunity on your presidential campaign.
Solve global warming.	Eat the moon.
