There you go again, Twitter folks!
Turning on the light to bang those damn cockroaches scuddling down the wall.
You can’t do that, people!
Not to NBC News anchor, Brian Williams.
Is everything just fair game to you guys?
Doesn’t show much gratitude to a man who’s spent his life getting at the truth.
And I really resent your making me into a dumb ass just because I like the guy.
But Brian, I know full well someone like you, clean-cut, ageless all-American boy that you are, could never stoop to any kind of falsehood, though I know you’re no George Washington, who never, ever told a lie, even about that cherry tree.
Tell me I ain’t wrong, Brian!
You simply disremembered. That’s it!
I know you said your helicopter came under fire while you were reporting on a news story back in Iraq in 2003.
A really long time ago, huh?
I know it took you a some time to remember again and you needed help from the people who got to the light switch
But now you’ve got the story right.
Anyway, it doesn’t the f–k matter.
I know you walked a tightrope over Niagara Falls.
I’ve got this photo that proves it. Pictures don’t lie.
And you were in the first wave, hitting Omaha Beach.
I would never have believed it. You look so young.
Like the song says, “They can’t take that away from me.”
I think that was written for you.
What, you wrote it?
I never knew that either.
I really like how you stand-up for yourself.
No, you don’t need to say anything more.
You were just in a mental fog.
We’ve all had days like that.
Months, years?
Hey, what the hell!
Let me say my piece, Twitter people!
Give the guy a break!
You think he should be fired?
Well, I can tell you right now it ain’t happening.
Fortunately, he works at NBC and we know their loyalty to their people.
Take Al Sharpton at sister MSNBC….
He’s got this whole show to himself.
He says the rich should pay more in taxes.
He should know.
After all, he’s rich and is just dying to pay his full share.
Yeah, I know he’s 4 million behind in back taxes.
You gotta give a guy time to remember what he’s disremembered.
He’ll catch-up.
But back to you, Brian.
You’ve got real balls.
No apologies.
And why should you?
I love this in you!
A lot of others like it, too.
Like Al Gore, who invented the Internet.
Especially these guys in politics like Mark Kirk, Richard Blumenthal, and Tom Harkin.
They all disremembered, too, when it came to war.
But the people understood and made damn sure they got elected.
We’ve got your back, Brian.
What, you were with Clinton when he unzipped his fly in the Oval Office?
Wow, and you’ve held back till now?
Yeah, you disremembered this, too, but now you’ve got it right.
Yeah, I can understand why you waited.
You guys were cronies for years.
Hey, Brian, old faithful here can’t wait to see you on the news tonight.
You’re interviewing Armstrong?
Oh, I know Lance finally fessed up to being on dope all those years.
What do you expect a guy to do in a stress event like The Tour de France?
Yeah, it took him a while to remember, but he got it right.
Now he just hit two cars the other day and got so shook up that he disremembered again and thought it was his girlfriend driving.
But he got it right this time much quicker, remembering what he disremembered.
Just like you, Brian!

Note: Williams apologized on his newscast last night: “I made a mistake in recalling events of twelve years ago.” The facts show he repeated his version on several occasions, the story growing with the telling. It’s one thing to make a “mistake”; it’s another thing to lie. I don’t buy into the twelve years ago excuse either. If it hadn’t been for the military, Williams would still be exploiting the story for personal advantage. Meanwhile, MSNBC didn’t cover the apology until 10:45 pm. It’s been my experience that when caught, liars are disingenuous with language.
Brimmings: up from the well
