Brian Williams: TSA Gropped Me

In the last quarter of 2010, we heard plenty of horror stories about folks being "groped" as they went through airport security (remember the "don't touch my junk" guy?).

Being a network news anchor doesn't allow one any special exemptions, apparently.

NBC's Brian Williams was a guest on CBS's "Late Show with David Letterman" Monday and confessed: I've been groped.

You can watch a video of Williams on Letterman HERE.

After watching the video, it's still not clear whether or not the libtard news reader enjoyed the gropping.

So many jokes..............

[RummyChick]

you beat me to it because I was busy posting the Yiddish meaning of Schmegegge.

Jewish New Yorkers might have been wondering what the heck he was talking about.

[Babu]

Brian, doncha noes, you’re supposed to say to the T&A goons with indignation,

“DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM!!”

[wbarmy]

I just love the whole “Dave and the twins” shtick! While on the David Letterman show.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Gropped?

[Ev Reeman]

I guess now Williams knows how offended every other air traveler feels now.

Will this change Williams’s mind about profiling?

One can only hope.

Aw, cry me a freaking river. Does he think he deserves more sympathy than Joe Schmoe because he’s a leftist hack working for the Obama administration?

Actually, I’m more inclined to believe that his job here is to tell the public, “Hey, they do it to me all the time, but it’s worth it because it’ll keep us safe.”

[liberateUS]

Guess he should have shown tsa “the ring”.

[Nip]

I think Brian Williams source of outrage was the firm belief that he would never be groped because he was Brian Williams.

This is a common thread that repeatedly shows up in liberal/progressive thought. “This new rule/restriction will never be applied to me because I am .....”

[Ethrane]

Now THAT is funny...!

[Carley]

Groped and found lacking.

[moovova]

Gropped?

Yep, that's correct.

It comes directly from the TSA SOP Manual in which it specifically states on Page 27, Paragraph C, Sub-paragraph 12-7, to wit...

"You, as a TSA Agent, will perform your duties to such an extent that if the passenger being screened does not complain of being "gropped", your employment will be "dropped".

[ridesthemiles]

ust the Los Angeles airport......

Numbers of San Francisco Airport are MUCH higher!!!

[Calvin Locke]

I doubt it. He's part of the dying LSM industry. Anything to remind
people he's "one of the hoi poloi", not the "beautiful people", and
he's still relevant on the air. *wink-wink*, *nudge-nudge*

[Iron Munro]

"He was a large, robust, swarthy man with big hands.
He had a pleasing countenance and a gentle demeanor.
I thanked him and gave him my personal business card
with my most private eMail and telephone number."

[RummyChick]

Oi! Would you listen to Brian talk. What a shmegegge!

[shelterguy]

Brian Williams was heard to say “ They groped me, they fondled my junk, they squeezed the twins.....so I went through the line 30 more times.”

[Ev Reeman]

Kind of reminds me of Alan Sues on the old Laugh In show when he yelled “He pushed me. He pushed me!”
