By saying he was in a helicopter that was hit by enemy fire–when in fact nothing of the sort actually happened–Brian Williams lied. His subsequent statements calling his lies a “mistake” is another lie. Williams clearly tried to steal some of the valor of those who have actually been under fire; and now that he has been exposed as a fraud, he is pleading with us to accept his actions as a “mistake.”

We often simply ignore the ramblings of idiots unless it’s slanderous such as Jesse MacBeth or Scott Beauchamp.
Those who were saddled with Brian Williams likely dismissed him as a self-important bore and ignored him. Warriors can’t be bothered by ass-hats.
