Thought this was interesting and wanted to hear some thoughts. The add is attacking Gingrich.

I understand where Brokaw is coming from but IMO he said what he said and he should stand behind his comments. Why would he feel uncomfortable? It's just a news broadcast and he should not have said it if he did not agree with it.

fuck that, I am on Robot Romney's side on this one, it's a pretty valid point he bring with that ad. Gingrich is a damn snake.

Mr. Brokaw, speaking for himself, said, ”I am extremely uncomfortable with the extended use of my personal image in this political ad. I do no want my role as a journalist compromised for political gain by any campaign.”

Today Romney’s camp told reporters they believe the ad falls within fair use standards and do not intend to take it down.

I can understand why he would be uncomfortable with his reporting being used as a political cudgel, but it shouldn't be pulled.
