NBC's Brian Williams mistakenly thought his helicopter was shot down

I did not participate in the Moro Rebellion, I now remember that I just had dinner with rhino.

Any journalist who lies should have their credentials revoked.....

So why is it that no one out there is saying "hey, if this guy can get this screwed up about his own life story, maybe he isn't qualified to tell stories professionally." There are very few information sources less reliable than the Internet. One of them is NBC. You'll get more honesty in a bait and tackle shop.

Reminds me of Shrillary doing the same thing a few years ago. Lefties can just make it up as they go along. No big deal. Certainly isn't the first lie nor the biggest for either of them.

Some think they are Indians, some think they've been shot at, some think they've been shot down. Sometimes when you lie to bolster your public image you start believing the lies.

I thought I was stuck in quicksand this morning. Turns out I was just eating oatmeal.

I suppose those raisins weren't man eating piranhas either.

...what would explain their inherent sweetness and lack of bones when I ate them in the dramatic "eat or be eaten" struggle.

History in pics: Brian Williams stormed the beach at Normandy on D-Day. Killed 23 Germans and saved Private Ryan.

Is this anything like stolen valor?

Man, this is like GHW Bush claiming he'd been shot down back in WWII.

With the minor difference that his story is true:

I guess if Hillary is anti gun enough, she could legitimately think she was under sniper fire. I mean, with hoplophobes freaking out in the mere presence of a gun, I could see her honestly thinking she is under attack simply because she heard the reports off in the distance. After all whats the saying? If you have a hammer everything looks like a nail?

Then again she could just be a lying dirtbag looking for sympathy and/or to bolster her point.

If he gives himself a CAB or CIB for it. I wouldn't put it past him at this point.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

What if Brian Williams isn't even his name? What if he's actually Dick Whitman and he stole Williams identity during Korea?

Fox is beating him up right now.....
