Tom Brokaw Pimps His Own Anniversary

From the Dept. of Bragiculture and more specifically this morning’s Politico Playbook, the longtime NBC newsman, typically low-key and sophisticated, takes a page out of Newsweek/The Daily Beast/CNN’s Howard Kurtz’s pimpilicious playbook.

We’re giving you shoes we typically give Kurtz when he pimps himself out each week over Twitter.
