NBC’s Tom Brokaw has only tweeted 26 times since joining Twitter last year. But after watching Clint Eastwood mockingly dress down an invisible Obama at the GOP convention, the always objective Brokaw dedicated his 26th tweet to telling his “friend” to shut his trap.

@tombrokaw Doesn't sound like something "a friend" would say. Having a hard time are "we" with Clint mocking Obama.

Many Twitterers thought using fewer words was great advice … for Brokaw.

@tombrokaw Coming from a comic icon like yourself… Many think your TWEET contains too many words. He was ad-libbing & funny & endearing.

@tombrokaw It wasn't about Clint Eastwood as much as it was about your fading agenda. Eastwood interfered with that. You didn't like that.

@tombrokaw Gotta disagree with you there Tom. Every bit of it was funny and damaging, hence the critical reactions of libs like yourself.

@tombrokaw why demean someone who has an opinion that is not yours, I used to think the liberal media was a lie, my eyes are open now.

But hey, clinging bitterly to Obama’s leg while bashing Eastwood is what all the cool lapdogs do, right Mr. Brokaw? Was it the number of words Eastwood used? Or was it the content of his speech?
