Where was Brian Williams when I was in trouble?

In a hearrt-warming reminder that Brian Williams’ heroism doesn’t just extend to taking enemy fire while riding in a helicopter in Iraq – oops – but saving puppies, Williams wrote in 2011 while he was still peddling his war-time heroism that he once joined firefighters and saved a puppy from a burning house. Williams boasted of his heroic exploits for USA Today....
SNIP
"My firehouse was a modest engine company — three engines, three garage doors and about 30 of the best men I’ve ever known.
"We fought all the usual fires that break out in the suburbs: brush fires, car fires, dumpsters, dryers, light fixtures — and worst of all, the occasional house, already in flames when we arrived.
"I remember one such house fire — the structure was fully involved with flames and smoke. I was wearing a breathing apparatus, conducting a search on my hands and knees, when I felt something warm, squishy and furry on the floor of a closet.
"I instinctively tucked it in my coat. When I got outside, I saw two small eyes staring up at me, and I returned the 3-week-old (and very scared) puppy to its grateful owners."
Strangely, Williams never followed-up with the full story of his hands badly charred, face burned, or the fire engine he rode in escaping a narrow brush with an oncoming car.
Yup, he’s just a regular guy who makes $10 million a year, but Williams knows that once, he could go toe-to-toe with Death and emerge the victor.
As he wrote, “I keep my fire helmet in my office at 30 Rock here in New York as a constant reminder of who I used to be and what I used to do.”

No, Brian Williams is simply living The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. The difference is that, unlike Walter Mitty, he is dishing out what is and what is not “the news” to still too many millions nightly in the US and many of the stories he tells have the same quantity of truth as these fabulist tales.
Next, they will unearth his harrowing tale of saving the earth from annihilation by aliens from a planet far, far away. NBC is pathetic for keeping this laughing stock on its payroll.
Don't Fireman wear gloves? If so, how could he tell that the thing he touched was warm...hell, the house was on FIRE!
Between this doofus and that blow-hard, self-indulgent ‘American Story’ radio spot cr@p from Brokaw, I want to put a bullet in my brain these days!
We have actively campaigned our local Clear Channel station to drop it. Instead? They signed up for another year!
I can never get to the radio fast enough to turn it off!
At this point I’ll need an affidavit signed by the puppy before I’ll believe a single syllable that emerges from this BS artist’s festering pie-hole.
Dan Rather was once a US Marine.
Remember?
Oh, you don’t...???
And had it with some fava beans.
Is this satire?
Perhaps he’s confusing John Kerry’s daughter’s story about JF’nK’s mouth to mouth on her hamster or similar rodent?
Over $27,000 every day of the year!
More than most grunts make in a YEAR!
All that money and a phony life.
I’ve worn those gloves once. If you held said puppy long enough the heat from the dog would be felt, but during a primary search I doubt you would feel the heat.
LOL!! This reminds me of Kerry’s campaign tale of rescuing his daughter’s hamster from drowning.
Williams lost me years ago when he claimed he cut short his star-studded, or struck, football career in high school because he blew out a knee. What he blew was his nerve and his class. He’s been Mr Wannabee ever since. And the chopper/RPG story: I remember it the first time around and it was bogus krap on its face then, and still is. I fully expected him to be traveling with the Hildebeast at some point so they could both duck snipper fire?
How could he tell it was furry?
Brian needs to fall on the sword. If this happened in Japan and it was a Japanese reporter he/she would have committed suicide by now.
BRIAN WILLIAMS told me that he one time saved the lives of his fellow squad members when he THREW HIS BODY ONTO A GRENADE THROWN INTO THEIR BUNKER.
Williams said that HIS LIFE WAS SAVED BY HIS FAMILY BIBLE that he was carrying in the inner compartment of his jacket. Williams modestly insisted that his commanding officer NOT put him in for the CONGRESSIONAL METAL OF HONOR.
Williams saved himself from suicide.
Did Obama want to Eat it ?
