Tom Brokaw: Hispanics Must Try Harder to Assimilate. Also, My Many, Many Dear Republican Friends Tell Me They're Uncomfortable With the Idea of "Brown [Mixed-Race] Grandbabies" and For Some Reason They Freely Express This Thought to a Very PC Liberal

Sure, Tom. Sure.

Now, there were two parts of his statement which could offend people.

He's apologized for one of those parts.

The lie he told? No apology for that.

Oh, that's right -- Former NBC anchor Linda Vester did indeed accuse Tom Brokaw of sexual harassment.

Good memory, Derek.

In a series of interviews with Variety conducted over several months, Vester alleged that Brokaw physically tried to force her to kiss him on two separate occasions, groped her in a NBC conference room and showed up at her hotel room uninvited. Two friends who Vester told at the time corroborated her story with Variety, and she shared her journal entries from the time period. Brokaw, who has been married to Meredith Auld since 1962, has never before been publicly accused of sexual harassment.
