Gelzinis: Williams' snub of vets no laughing matter

[SE Mom]

Back in the fall of 2006, long before Brian Williams confessed to "conflating " his helicopter adventures over Iraq, Nick Santangelo knew the NBC news anchor was a fraud.

[SE Mom]

This article is a jawdropper. Williams left Medal of Honor recipients in the lurch so he could run back to NYC to appear on SNL.

Mind boggling.

[DIRTYSECRET]

I’m waiting for the first gop presidential wannabe to say “he got what he deserved”. Kick him when he’s down. It’s not like he will miss a meal. He’s got his millions. Whoever steps forward will have my vote.

[5th MEB]

Nah; it’s not mind boggling, just think about it.
Waste your time with a bunch of losers who risked everything, including their lives, so you could be rich and famous. Or, get 5 more minutes of face time on TV with a bunch of lowlife, prog/lib commies who will help to advance your career.
For brian williams it’s a no brainer.

[certrtwngnut]

No one should be surprised by this. It is a typical lib doing what libs do. Spit in the faces of who they think are the “little people”. You and me. Only occasionally does it backfire on them and I delight when it does.

[workerbee]

After reading the article, it’s the Congressional Medal of Honor Society that needs their heads examined, IMHO.

[GOPJ]

Women run NBC News... maybe they’ll think their fair haired son is being misunderstood... how dare anyone attack little Brian. Will Mommy speed to Brian’s rescue?

Candy Crowley ran to help her little Obama when that old Mitt was mean to him.

[Redbob]

I love that Lyin’ Williams is having his Dan Rather moment!

[willywill]

not to mention the fact that gelzinis is a screaming marxist.

[PghBaldy]

More Brian Williams' rottenness from the past (2005): "What would it all matter if proven true? Someone brought up today the first several U.S. presidents were certainly revolutionaries and might have been called 'terrorists' by the British crown, after all."

Brian Williams of NBC news just compared the new Iranian President to the Founding Fathers

Brian Williams (NBC News!) is slime. Prue slime.

[Graybeard58]

Brian Williams (NBC News!) is slime. Pure slime.

If I had to choose just one word to describe him, that would be it.

[MasterGunner01]

Brian Williams is the type that gives slime a bad name.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Williams won a Medal of Honor during the quasi-war with France in 1798.

[Sioux-san]

Is the “culture” of NBC? I am thinking back on this story that helped ruin a man’s life:

[clintonh8r]

Thanks, Brian, for feeding my insatiable Schadenfreude habit. I owe you, buddy....

[EDINVA]

Why is anyone surprised he’s “just another showman?” Amazingly little courage from, of all people, the MOH society. No one, not even the MOH society, was ready to tell the Emperor he wore no clothes.

[detch]

Brian Williams still sits on several advisory boards of the Medal of Honor Foundation, an adjunct of the MOH society. They have declined any comment.

If the article is true about a letter “never actually sent” why didn’t they take Williams off the advisory boards?

I don’t get it.

I get Brian Williams — he appears to be the colossal a_hole that NBC underlings say he is...
