There was a telling media moment on Fridays Lou Dobbs Tonight, as the Fox Business host dissolved into a fit of uncontrollable laughter as he recounted the latest questionable claims from suspended NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams.
By the time Dobbs had finished reading the 30-second update, he was laughing so hard he could barely speak. The spontaneous giggles say as much as anything about how Williamss pompous persona has deflated over the past two weeks, as the once-top rated anchor has sunk to Commander McBragg levels of incredibility.
Heres the video followed by the relevant transcript (but in this case, its all about the video):
LOU DOBBS: The Brian Williams scandal isnt getting a lot better. The suspended NBC News anchor is now accused of stretching the truth, or outright lying, in three other incidents.
He claims he flew into Baghdad with the Navy Seal Team 6 in 2003, but Fox News has learned that likely didnt happen since the unit that killed Osama bin Laden does not, and never has, embedded journalists, thinking that would be and I think its supportable reasoning a bad idea.
Williams claims he was at Berlins Brandenberg Gate the night the wall came down, but he apparently got there just a day later.
And Williams claims he met Pope John Paul II in 1979, but its unclear how much interaction he had with the Pope, because Williamss retelling of the event has differed slightly over the years.

I wish Obama would get suspended for all the lies he has told since he has been in office and the lies he told to get into office.

I'm not the only one who was prompted to think of him, apparently. ;)

I didn’t realize he’d said all those things! Wow. Sad that someone with such a high profile career, tons of money and fame would need to resort to such lies.

Sometimes its the self-promotion at any cost that got them their high profile career, money and fame.
