BREAKING: Brian Williams’s Replacement Lester Holt Falsely Claims He Flew 9 Gs, “Had Bombs Fall Around Him” in NBC Post… Gotnews.com has confirmed that embattled NBC anchor Brian Williams’s replacement, Lester Holt, has also exaggerated his past exploits.

In an October 2006 blog post for NBC News Holt described conquering his fear of snakes and how he wasn’t afraid of doing dangerous things.

“I am not a whimp [sic]. I have done stories dangling 90 floors above Chicago in a window-washing rig on the Sears Tower. I have pulled 9-Gs and done loops and rolls with the Thunderbirds and Blue Angles. Heck, I had bombs falling around me in Lebanon a few months ago,” Holt wrote.

dowcaet @42: "Now that another NBC newsreader is under fire my guess is the other networks are gonna be on edge as people are going to start scrutinizing all on-air news reports and public statements made byScott Pelley at CBS and David Muir at ABC during their stints as correspondents in the field."

Right on!! And let's not forget to look into the lies and exaggerations of the fifth-column PBS skanks, which of course includes Mark Shields and David Brooks.

Lester is the one that got all excited about the MAN BAG.

Sounds like there is going to be some cutthroat competition for the annual “CBS Dan Rather Fake But Accurate Award” this year!!!!!!

Lester Holt: “Brian Williams is making up stories based on real-life events in my life!”

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

And to think people laughed and scoffed at the movie thinking it was foolish and wouldn’t happen.

I watch that show all the time but I haven’t seen anything. What did I miss?

I pulled 4 g’s on a vertical loop in a T34 Navy prop and did everything I could not to puke. I don’t believe young Les could pull 3 without a barf bag, but 9? He’s on B-HO’s ‘high-horse’.

Neither, unless you came up with it in the 1970s. It’s been around at least that long.

Haha - a pretty funny story about the time that Bruce Boxleitner and Jerry Doyle of Babylon 5 (Capt. Sheridan & Mr. Garibaldi, respectively) got rides on F-16’s is here:

(scroll down a bit)

Doyle had the advantage of being an experienced jet pilot, Boxleitner - yeah, that probably be how I’d respond too... I can’t imagine 9 g’s without extensive training and experience...

Oops - not sure that site is safe!

>> I have pulled 9-Gs and done loops and rolls with the Thunderbirds and Blue Angles.

> Maybe he was referring to his days as a Roller Derby star.

I think the Blue Angles are a Swedish geometric swimming team.

[RedHeeler]

Hecky durn.

[Wingy]

I pulled over 10g’s that day. As far as I know, that’s the record!

But?!(And this is the big question.) Do you work for NBC News?

[Kickass Conservative]

Pelley did some story on 60 Minutes that was so full of crap that I shot off an Email on the 60 Minutes Website detailing the “errors” (cough, cough) in the story...

It was years ago and I can’t even remember what pissed me off so much.

Never got as much as a “thank you for your submission” response.

Can someone please post an enlarged photo of the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima? I swear one of the guys raising the flag looks just like Brian Williams. Could it be?
