Brian Williams also told iffy tales of rescuing puppies from fires

Long before he was caught lying about his chopper being forced down by enemy fire in Iraq, Brian Williams boasted how he bravely rescued a terrified puppy from a house fire.

Or maybe it was two puppies.

The truth-challenged NBC anchor told dueling versions of his supposed heroics as a teenage volunteer firefighter with the Old Village Fire Company in Middletown, NJ.

In October 2011, Williams waxed rhapsodic about how his dad took him to fires.

“I remember one such house fire . . . conducting a search on my hands and knees, when I felt something warm, squishy and furry on the floor of a closet,” Williams said.

“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,” he said.

But in July 2005, he told a different story, insisting he had saved not one but two pups from certain death.

“All I ever did as a volunteer fireman was once save two puppies,” he said, according to Esquire magazine.

While in high school, he was a volunteer firefighter for three years at the Middletown Township Fire Department

That would have been in the mid 70s and I don't recall any high schoolers being real volunteer firefighters. Maybe he tagged along with his dad but that would be the extent. Of more interest is he attended 3 colleges but only completed 18 hours.

A newsman flew 'round Iraq in a copter
He heard some other "bird" might have been hit
For some reason, he made up quite the whopper
It wasn't him attacked--He's full of shit...

Then one night somebody from the army
Who went along with Brian for that ride
Said their helicopter never faced the bad guys
Did the newsman lose his mind? Or did he lie?

He can't hide. From Brian's lies
The weaselly way he "apologized"...
Is anyone even that surprised?
There ain't no way to hide from Brian's Lies

On the other hand The fog of war is crazy
Under fire, guys will say things quite unreal
Only none of that stuff happened, Oopsy Daisy!
Every second that goes by, he's lost appeal

His rep now has been harmed, perhaps forever
People at home watchin' news change the dial.
Letterman calls him brave, but he was never
Now all of NBC News is on trial

He can't hide. From Brian's lies
The weaselly way he "apologized"...
Is anyone even that surprised?
There ain't no way to hide from Brian's Lies

He gets gruff for talkin' lots of fiction
Over fictitious events that had transpired
Apology--It turns out it's the wrong one
Tom Brokaw now wants his white ass to be fired

We wonder how it ever got this crazy
He's puttin' out his fires with more fuel
For good ratings, the douchebag just got lazy
Taking army dudes and viewers for the fool

Why oh why? he talked s--t 'bout Katrina!
Tall tales seem part of his strange history
He is just like his daughter's fat f--k friend Lena!
But he Dun-ham handed his duplicity...

He can't hide. From Brian's lies
The weaselly way he "apologized"...
Is anyone even that surprised?
There ain't no way to hide from Brian's Lies

A three week old puppy isn’t even weaned yet, and still needs to be with its mother. It wouldnt have an “owner” yet. More proof that this is another lie.

In an amazing coincidence, Brian was playing Golf with Kim Jong Un and they both got 18 Holes in One.

When he went Golfing with Obama, he lost to Obama by one stroke, 152 to 151.
