The Lyrics
NBC"s nightmare: Wiliams' Iraq tale...
I fooled you, you believed
Helo was hit by RPG
Hellish ordeal just too good to be true
What the hell? It's only news!!!
I fooled you, you believed
'Cause I work for NBC
Don't care if the audience got screwed
What the hell? It's only news!!!
I fooled you, you believed
But not the US military
What I said came under review
NBC now look like fools!!!
I fooled you, you believed
Now all I've claimed's under scrutiny
They're big fat lies, the public disapproves
From my desk I need removed...
Helo was hit by RPG
Hellish ordeal just too good to be true
What the hell? It's only news!!!
I fooled you, you believed
'Cause I work for NBC
Don't care if the audience got screwed
What the hell? It's only news!!!
I fooled you, you believed
But not the US military
What I said came under review
NBC now look like fools!!!
I fooled you, you believed
Now all I've claimed's under scrutiny
They're big fat lies, the public disapproves
From my desk I need removed...

Pacing is a little off, and not terribly funny. I seriously doubt Brian Williams intentionally misled anyone; more likely his mind created false memories during a stressful event, and he is now receiving heaps of humiliation for his human mistake. It seems to me this has been blown all out of proportion, and it puzzles me that so many were so betrayed by this that they feel the need to vilify him. Brian's a great guy! 4-2-2
Brian Williams is a liar who exaggerated his non-ordeal in a Chinook in a latter flight. His helo took just three AK rounds of no consequence. He was not forced down and stranded in the desert for hours until back up arrived. No one on his flight got a Purple Heart. He learned of the true incident of a previous mission and incorporated that into his flight which is fraudulent. He is more than an embarrassment to his network, he is a bad reporter. He deserves to lose his job. Even his weak apology is insincere. He is unprofessional and unreliable. If you believe his story then you also probably believe that Bill Cosby is innocent and that Putin has no troops and tanks in E Ukraine!!!
Oh, okay, thank you for the clarification. Definitely a menace to society, that Brian Williams. Let's hope he doesn't hurt anyone else.
I agree with Chris on one count the pacing was slightly off 455 and for the record I actually WANTED to believe that Bill Cosby was innocent I really did but it doesn't look that way...
Fun stuff---I think, like your other target today, Jenner, Brian will shortly be 'transitioning' into something quite a bit farther along the 'belle' curve!
Thanks Jon and TJC, BW is now BS!!! Makes one wonder what ELSE he lied about or distorted...
For those interested, Brian Williams also lied about Katrina in the French Quarter with dead bodies floating down the streets, and the 2006 Pali-Israeli Rocket War... said Katyusha rocket fire under his flight!!! His integrity is shot to hell, he should resign immediately.
funny
Brian Williams just got a six month suspension w/o pay pending termination. So where do liars go? Maybe he can run for President in 2016!
