NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams has been suspended for six months without pay following his false claims about an experience he had during the Iraq war, NBC News president Deborah Turness announced Tuesday night.

"We have decided today to suspend Brian Williams as Managing Editor and Anchor of NBC Nightly News for six months. The suspension will be without pay and is effective immediately," Turness wrote in a memo to staff. "We let Brian know of our decision earlier today. Lester Holt will continue to substitute Anchor the NBC Nightly News."

This should free him up to rejoining the French Foreign Legion and retaking the battle with Somalian Pirates in Djibouti - or something.

I think though this will end up being the starts of a firing. Doing this while preparing for whoever takes over after him.

Oh, good. That six month suspension will cure him of that pathological lying thingy. Not.

How do you “pay” (six mod of salary) for a history of lies?

Is it Rachel Maddow's time?

Talk about diversity; a woman (?), a sexual pervert by choice and dumb as a rock, a real trifecta!
