Found this via American Spectator piece by Emily Zanotti: NBC’s Brian Williams Probably Didn’t Get Shot At In Iraq "There are a lot of things from my earlier years I don't really remember orrectly, largely due to a mix of Country Time Lemonade and cheap vodka, but they're mostly innocous things, like how the cat ended up with a red wine stain on its back, how my furniture ended up in that particular formation, or whether Chicago's baseball team had, in fact, won the World Series sometime in April of 2009. I think, though, if I'd been shot at in a helicopter while covering a story in Iraq, I'd have remembered it correctly. It seems like a big event that people could corroborate, right, so that even if I wasn't clear on the details, someone who'd been there would be.

Enter Brian Williams, anchor of NBC's stellar primetime lineup of news shows for old people who don't understand the Internet, who has, since 2003, been telling a story about how his helicopter came under RPG fire in Iraq and was forced to land. Turns out, while there were a few helicopters in the area that had been forced to land after coming under enemy fire, Williams's helicopter landed at least an hour later under near-perfect conditions. Which he, he told viewers of NBC News in a strange non-apology, only found out about on Friday.........."

“I was making $174 a week, and I bombed out after 13 months because I sucked,” Williams said. He left Kansas for Washington, D.C., where...sucking is appreciated.

“It doesn’t matter what you look like, it doesn’t matter who you know. Hell, it doesn’t even matter if you tell the truth or not. What matters is that you stay true to liberal ideals.”

Fixed it.

He added that it’s often difficult to judge the credibility of a blogger. “On the Internet, no one knows if you’ve been to Ramadi or you’ve just been to Brooklyn and have an opinion about Ramadi,” said Williams.

Or you could just be Brian Williams, sitting there on TV and lying to your face ....

Brian “Rambo” Williams.

His next story will probably be telling us about his Navy SEAL days or the 40 lb. bass he caught.

He doesn’t have a BS meter, he has cynicism towards anyone who is not a fellow traveler on the left. Thus he researches to ask tougher questions to those he disagrees with. Other than that he is a slobbering lapdog for any leftist he interviews.
