That's gonna leave a mark...

I'm shocked. Back when Brian Williams and I killed Osama Bin Laden, he seemed like an honest guy.
Follow up comments are pretty good too

The president of NBC News just sent this memo about Brian Williams to employees
By Hunter Walker

.
NBC just sent Business Insider an email that Deborah Turness, the president of the network's news division, sent to all NBC News staff on Friday afternoon regarding the growing scandal surrounding Brian Williams.
On Wednesday Williams, NBC News' top anchor, confessed he "bungled" a story he had told on air about being in a helicopter that was shot down by an RPG in 2003. His admission came after multiple soldiers questioned the tale, which he has told on multiple occasions, and revealed he was actually not in the aircraft.
Turness' email said NBC News is " working on what the best next steps are" to address the situation.
Since the story broke on Wednesday, Williams' reporting on Hurricane Katrina has also been called into question. According to multiple reports, NBC News has launched an internal investigation into the matter.
NBC has not responded to requests for comment from Business Insider about the reported investigation or whether Williams will face disciplinary action.
Read Turness' full email below:
All,
This has been a difficult few days for all of us at NBC News.
Yesterday, Brian and I spoke to the Nightly News team. And this morning at the Editorial Exchange, we both addressed the wider group. Brian apologized once again, and specifically expressed how sorry he is for the impact this has had on all of you and on this proud organization.
As you would expect, we have a team dedicated to gathering the facts to help us make sense of all that has transpired. We’re working on what the best next steps are – and when we have something to communicate we will of course share it with you.
Since joining NBC News, I’ve seen great strength and resilience. We are a close-knit family, and your response this week has made that even clearer.
As a relentless news agenda marches on, thank you again for continuing to do what we do best – bring the most important stories of the day to our audience.
Deborah
He is perfect for his job.
Did Brian Williams really save a puppy from a house fire?

What's next for this guy, claiming he invented the Internet?
There is a term for Williams, pathological liar.
Which would mean the rest of the litter was left to die, since a 3 week old isn't yet weaned. Worthless bastard, letting the mom and the rest of those puppies die.
Now we have the perfect answer for all those who accuse us of getting our news from Fox, or Rush. "Really? Brian Williams."
I bet Steve Kroft over at CBS wishes he had a nose like that for his girlfriend....
I bet his girlfriend wishes he had a nose like that.

They forgot "Brian Williams helps build the Great Wall of China".
LOL. Man, people get that shit done fast, don't they?

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.
I can't even keep track of all the shit he invented during Katrina. Of course, he was waging a liberal-approved Holy War against Bush at the time, so the left didn't have a problem with his tall tales. Let's see, he saw a dead body float by under his hotel window (even though there was no flooding around his hotel), he saw a man commit suicide in the Superdome (even though he really didn't), and he saw all kinds of suffering in the Superdome even though he wasn't even there because he was back in New York to do the nightly news.
If NBC were to actually can "Lyin' Brian"( I really like that moniker) I'm sure Team BO could find a place for him on the President's roster of hired liars.
Either replace Earnest, Psaki, or Harf.
I figure that's what he's shooting for, with his continued lies to cover up lies.
