Brian Williams for President? - Honesty as the real issue in 2016
The American Spectator ^ | February 12, 2015 | Jeffrey Lord

The statement from NBC News President Deborah Turness was blunt and to the point. Among other things it said this in the announcement the network was suspending NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams for six months without pay:

While on Nightly News on Friday, January 30, 2015, Brian misrepresented events which occurred while he was covering the Iraq War in 2003. It then became clear that on other occasions Brian had done the same while telling that story in other venues. This was wrong and completely inappropriate for someone in Brian’s position.

In addition, we have concerns about comments that occurred outside NBC News while Brian was talking about his experiences in the field.

In other words? NBC is saying Brian Williams looked the camera in the eye and lied. Wow. The obvious? What better candidate for president of the United States than Brian Williams?

Just this week former Obama aide David Axelrod is out with a book in which Axelrod reveals his old boss was in fact a longtime supporter of same sex marriage—and deliberately lied about it to get elected. This news,of course,comes after Americans realized President Obama had lied about “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor” and “if you like your health insurance,you can keep your health insurance.”

And then there’s Hillary Clinton’s Williamsesque lie about coming under fire on a trip to Bosnia when she was First Lady. Not to mention a trail of fibs that revolve around everything from the location of Rose Law Firm records that vanished during the Whitewater investigation(only to mysteriously turn up on a table in the White House residence)to blaming a “vast right-wing conspiracy” for her husband’s troubles to her Benghazi mantra of “what difference does it make?” who did what when four American diplomats were murdered.

Speaking of presidential husband Bill?.....

In the pantheon of liars Williams is a true piker when compared to the current occupant of the White Hut.

Brian Williams is a true American hero. He kept George Washington’s boat from capsizing while crossing the Delaware, and he shot John Wilkes Booth in the barn.

This could be fun and instructional. I would like to see a Brian Williams for President campaign. The narrative surrounding his candidacy would be full of his incredible exploits and accomplishments. Naturally he will be running for the Dem nomination.

He has to be able to make a mockery of himself otherwise they’ll all do it for him.

No, but seriously BW is in a hard corner. He’s going down hard. It’s hard to see how he gets out of this mess of his own “creation” (double entendre).........maybe he’ll be rescued by Navy Seals in the dead of night under heavy........
