Disgraced NBC newsman Brian Williams — who will now move to MSNBC after admitting he lied about some of his reporting — has at least one cheerleader among the huge field of Republican presidential contenders.

Brian IS getting a second chance - at MSNBC... The last thing NBC needs in their news division is a known liars. I’m stunned Perry doesn’t get this...

What this tells me about Rick Perry ... he isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. Why even go there ...?

Is Rather around? Well, if conducting occasional interviews for HD Net, then yes, he’s still around.

He lied how many times, Rick? He blew how many chances? More chances to amplify falsehoods from a serial liar? You’re thick, Rick. How many lies are OK before they devalue our life?

Once trust has been lost it is quite difficult to regain it.. Mr.Williams will have to prove his new found integrity with MSNBCs’ viewers—both of them.......... BWWWWWWWWWAAAAAHAHAHA

Rick has three reasons for giving Williams another chance:

1. He’s hoping people will give him another chance

2. He’s hoping to make friends in the Ministry of Propaganda

3. uh, mm, uh, mmm, uhh.....

No he doesn’t. There are too many better people who deserve a first chance.

Exactly. From the article.

"I'm about second chances. This is a country about second chances," Perry said Friday on "The Steve Malzberg Show."

Ricky wants his.

Why would anybody running for president even comment on such trivia? Are they really that much in love with the sound of their own voices?

I don’t see why. I mean, you can only parachute into Pakistan and kill bin Laden with your bare teeth one time.

Me too. Besides, Brian W. did his best not to report the truth on Benghazi. iirc, he also would not report on IRS. So why is R. Perry commenting on this? He is starting to remind me a little of Biden.

Look at what else Perry said.

From the article.

"I'm about second chances. This is a country about second chances," Perry said Friday on "The Steve Malzberg Show."

Ricky wants his.

I agree. Forgive and Forget.

Get out of America’s life Brian Williams.

MSNBC is a good start.
