On Wednesday night, NBC News anchor Brian Williams apologized to the American people for lying for well over a decade about a heart-stopping war story starring himself.

if there are any other fantastic claims by brian William they should be checked out. when someone tells this type of lie they tend to tell others.
You forgot that Cap'n Dan is a former US Marine...a title he bestowed upon himself after failing out of basic training.
Williamsgate?
What an ass.
RPG used to be “role playing game” but what is it in this context?
What is it with the liberal’s love affair with liars? From the top down, the prevaricators are the power players.
My liberal sister and her husband watch Brian Williams religiously. He’s their news source. Have to start teasing her now!
Ask her what she thinks of his report from Katrina when he said he saw bodies floating past his hotel window. (He stayed in a 5 star hotel in the French Quarter where there was no flooding)
I know this thread is a few days old and you probably have answered your own question by now, but it is "Rocket-Propelled Grenade."
