After watching the videotapes of his story telling, he is obviously a pathological liar.It comes to naturally for him.

He was at the Ford theater when J. W. Booth tried to kill him. Unfortunately, Booth missed and hit President Lincoln instead........It’s true, Williams wouldn’t make this up.

They are banking that Williams when he comes back will be able to pull the viewers back.

The reality is that a six month suspension is a lifetime in TV News and television.

Regardless of who they put on whether it be Lester Holt or Savannah Gutherie they will erode viewers and that will open ABC's David Muir to make some serious inroads into NBC.

Look for the top management at NBC to be shown the door very soon and my guess is that Brian Williams will not be back at all.

Ok but what about the bonuses? The club memberships and numerous other perks he no doubt received as part of his compensation? Does NBC match his 401 K contributions? It’s all rhetorical because Im sure missing out on 6 months salary is not a big deal for him. For all we know he’ll get it all back when he returns to work and his salary is suddenly increased.

This is assinine on at least two levels.

1. He is a liar, therefore why would you bring him back?
2. They’ve known about his excursions from the thruth forever. Why the feigned indignity now?

Typical liberal, you’re only in trouble because you got caught...wink wink.

Might be worth watching, then. Just for the trainwreck factor alone.

Anyone remember Dan Rather’s lies which prompted his retirement. The democrat press is corrupt and there is nothing they say that is truth. Those are the facts.

The multi millionaire gets to enjoy his wealth he got by being a liar for six months.

Then he gets to go back to getting millions of dollars for lying.

Methinks Rosie O'Donnell would be a great replacement.

Her first special can be about how fire doesn't melt steal.

Are Kalid Sheik Mohammed and Rosie related?
