This whole episode reminds me of an old Steven Wright line: “The other day I was walking down the street and . . . Oh wait, that wasn’t me.”

Something like that anyway.

The Admiral

"Wonder if O’Reilley will report this? He’s often spoken highly of Williams, despite his supposed disdain for NBC."

One blow-hard criticizing another blow-hard? Let me know if it happens.

"This was a...uh...a secret mission, yeah, that’s the ticket. No radios. It’s seared into his memory. He can’t wear the medal he got for it in public, either."

Does he have a lucky hat some CIA agent gave him?

What’s the big deal? He was just following company policy.

Remember, the “mainstream” media operates on the standard of honesty that Dan Rather laid out in an interview with O’Reilly on May 15, 2001: “I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things.”

His ‘apology’ today amounted to “It was fake but accurate”- He and Dan Rathernot are going to start a new news station called FBA -Fake But Accurate- Might as well, the majority of America apparently believes the LIES the left have been telling for 6+ years now- so much so that they REHIRED one of the biggest liars for a second term as president

Our president just the other day told a French news station that we are now a majority muslim nation- The FACT is that we are 1.4% muslim In this country- but he stated it as though it were fact- The left don’t even apologize for their bold-faced LIES any longer- it used to be people were ASHAMED of such things- but now they don’t even bat an eye when they are caught in one of their blatant LIES

No, O’Reilly made excuses for the liar. Surprisingly, so did Megan whats-her-name in the next hour. I really thought she had more guts.

Thanks for letting me know what Ted Baxter had to say about Brian Williams. I haven’t watched Fox News for several years now. I get all the news I need on Free Republic and Drudge.

I once forgot that I wasn’t at the Normandy invasion. My Uncle Frankie, who was, reminded me with a smack to the head.

LOL! We used to called that a "pa-ping"!
