No, he just flat-out lied his ass off.

Well, since his integrity has been thrown out the window, I think it would be mighty big of him to resign his position and find himself another line of work.
But, that would only happen in my world.

I don't believe he lied. I sat next to him in first class when he was returning from Iraq in 2003. He was still shaken from his ordeal. I was on the last leg of a flight returning from a Kodiak bear hunt on the Kamchatka Peninsula where we eschewed rifles and used only sheets of 100 grit garnet sandpaper. My record for brown bear taken with abrasives still stands to this day. True story.

somewhere there is a douche-bag harboring a grudge against Brian Williams for damaging the brand...

What he did was pathetic.
But his handling of getting busted goes much further down the bad end of the bullish!t continuum.

I'm leaning toward pathological lying or False Memory Syndrome here.
So, IMO, he'll be perfect for Fox News once the NBC gig is gone.

Sounds like a perfect CV for the Senate or Secretary of State gigs - or both. Then, a sprint with "his head down" toward the Oval Office.

He should have started his story with, "There I was, knee-deep in grenade pins!" Then we would have known it was the truth...

You mention the word "integrity" while referring to a American News Reporter?
I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to talk to you about.......
