Brian Williams should announce he’s gay, or a woman.

Wait, you mean he's not gay? How do we know? Did he say so?

I think of it as the RAT dilemma.

Once you've become a laughingstock, you're useless. You'll be replaced with someone who hasn't yet been conclusively proven a liar...or in the case of RAT politicians, someone whose appeals process is not yet exhausted.

From the article:

It’s also not clear how much sway the division’s rank and file will have in NBC’s decision about Williams’s fate. The preferences of viewers and advertisers probably will have a major impact.

No problem, NBC! I already consider you and your colleagues in the DNC-propaganda industry lower than the stuff I scrape off my shoe.

You didn't lose any credibility with me; you had none.

He must have been a swell guy to work with if his co-workers can’t wait to get rid of him.
