I like Brian Williams. Not sure its a laughable joke but he sure put himself in the hot seat with his fabrication of the events of his time out there. Too bad it escalated. Otherwise, I really, over the years, thought he was quite credible. Sad..
Since in the joke section...I'll LOL it... |

At least he admitted the mistake and apologized. There are Faux News channels spewing lies hourly as part of their modus operandi.

I've never liked BW and I have my reasons.
Stories like this go into the joke section, because they too often become political and live short lives, and besides, BW made a laughing stock of himself. Even his apology was laughable. The OP is called sarcasm, which is a form of humor, so there is at least an attempt at humor here. Let Williams be glad he didn't say he was a SEAL because by the time Don Shipley got through with him, there'd be more than a single post in a relatively obscure discussion board. By the way, the veteran's groups, who were not happy with his charade, are taking a wait and see stance, because Williams has been involved with pro-vet activities in the past, and I will at least give him that. In the meantime, the combat vets can have a little fun with BW's "foot-in-mouth" disorder.
