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.

From the film “Deadline USA” the difference between a reporter and a journalist is that a reporter gathers the facts for the public to decide while a journalist is the star of the story it’s all about him. A reporter is like a scout bringing in the Information and a journalist is writing a story to make themselves look good.

Williams definitely should not resign. He clearly holds the values and ethics that are dear to NBC news. However you will know he is toast if Saturday Night Live does a skit on him. However it would be very unusual for Lorne Michaels to OK a parody on a fellow lberal and Obama acolyte.

There’s nothing new here. All Communists/Democrats are ends justify means liars. It’s their “nature.”

Brian Williams next job will be teaching creative writing at a college or university. He has quite an imagination, doesn’t he?

“The “Guy” seems to have mental problems; i.e. confusing the images in his mind with events in the world outside that mind.”

He now joins the ranks of other great libtard heroes.

Obama: fights pirates on the high seas. Killed Bin Laden
Hillary: dodges sniper fire behind enemy lines
Kerry: he was in Viet Nam after all

And he saved a dozen women from being hit by a train. Another time he stopped a bank robbery using only his teeth. Then he prevented a purse-snatching by reading Shakespeare. Then...

I love his "term" Miss-Remembered . . . Gotta' love his "Hitlery Clinton" use of the language!

May he never be fired so we can turn the channel anytime we want to see a liar.

And I wanna' know what he's shown writing as they face away from him, especially the one from the back that's in black and white . . . what in the hell could he possibly be writing since it's already written for him.

Love the filthy theatrics over at NBC (Never Been Caught) . . . till now!

In the sphere where emotions and intent reign over logic and results, self-puffery and lies will take you far.

This is the mind of someone who can easily rationalize and justify..
