She does hold several world titles for document shredding while at the Rose Law Firm....
IIRC, that was on his self-authorized photo mission.
Hillary also had a story about Chelsea jogging around the Twin Towers as they fell. Chelsea was so upset that she stopped at a pay phone and called Hillary and blamed the Bush tax cuts as being responsible for the Twin Towers disaster.
Meanwhile, Chelsea, in a media interview, said she was actually in another area, safe and sound, and watching events on TV that day.
I read that Chel’s hubby’s hedge fund is sucking bilgewater after making big bets on Greece.
She may have to get another network news job to tide them over until Mom enters the WH.
You can’t spell Hillary without L-I-A-R.
I disagree.
In many ways I don’t agree with the political perspectives of Brian Williams as may be presented periodically, but when I have closely listened to the taped reports, I don’t find him to be lying.
There is an art in reporting a complicated situation succinctly to a national audience. When Williams used the term, ‘we’ were shot at, he did so in context of his group of helicopters flying into a forward area.
He also reported this when the US wasn’t at war, but when the US was at the mall, and his audience was predominantly those people at the mall, trying to get them to become more involved politically in the war.
It also was the operational art of allied planners at that time, to engage the press and get them into forward areas so the fighting would be reported. This was a touchy area, because it was just as easy to report something in a limited perspective which worked against their operations as they could be reporting something which could reinforce the home effort to support our fighting forces.
I also note, those in the press who are attacking Williams so heavily, in most part, never even ventured into the theater. Williams at least had the courage to go into the area, then report succinctly what he had experienced to an audience many times reluctant to even listen.
I don’t find his reporting to be as mendacious as some other Democratic zealots in modern politics, but I believe those attacking him manifest far less grace than did Williams.
When Williams used the term, ‘we’ were shot at, he did so in context of his group of helicopters flying into a forward area....A helicopter can fly over 100 MPH. He was an hour behind the shooting. How can he say “we”? I was flying in the sky at this time to go on vacation. Can I say I got shot at?

And none of them would actually sack up enough to truthfully participate in any of their imagined derring-do!
thanks, for the ping. Chuck.
It’s interesting that as much as the liberals despise the military they’re desperate to bask in the glory of heroic deeds. I’ve always thought that their animosity is based on envy, as a coward denigrates the courageous.
What about Dan Rather once claiming he was once a US Marine..?
Cuz he never was..!
Ah Yes I Remember it Well
My impression was the pilot of his aircraft was in visual contact with the hit aircraft and as a singular mission, they all remained as an intact unit, until others could be sent to either remove or repair the damaged copter.
Were they from separate squadrons/sorties?
Then there was the story Hitlery told some time ago that she had considered joining the Marine Corps.
"As I watched the towers falling and the people dying in front of me, my first thought was, 'How will we rebuild in the face of all these Bush tax cuts?'"
If you read the Tweet, Twitter or whatever that crap is from the pilot he says “Dude, I don’t remember you being on my bird location until an hour later.’ (paraphrasing). That doesn’t make me think they were in visual contact or an intact unit. If they were, they were quite spread out, even at LOW speed.
