not as bad as some.. But this guy is always ready to conflate Republican politics with Democrats..Any fucking chance he can.No props out to him. No matter how much he questions republican transgressions ....He just waits with so much anticipation, to call dems out for anything dems might do.. and compare to Republican misdeeds

That's been my opinion since the first time I saw/heard him

in fact I, the great Brian Williams, piloted one the planes, where I was shot down by enemy fire and was captured by enemy forces.
A beautiful Syrian woman prison guard recognized me, and after nearly swooning to the ground she said You are the great and handsome Brian Williams. My family has a picture of at our dinner table that we pray to. As she nervously fiddled with the cell keys, she said We must hurry, Brian Williams. Even though it is true your greatness is too powerful for the entirety of the Syrian forces, I wish to get you out of here to save them the embarrassment of being humbled by such a magnanimous individual, such as yourselfthe great Brian Williams. I responded Yes, what you say is all true, and it takes great humility and honesty to admit such.
As we made our way down the corridors of the prison, she abruptly stopped and pleaded You must make love to me in a great way, which should come natural to you, the great Brian Williams. Several hours later after we were done (her several times, I might add), we were suddenly surrounded by Syrian soldiers. Being greatly outnumbered would have overwhelmed any man, any man except Brian Williams. I positioned myself in a Shaolin ninja stance, which I learned at the feet of a 124 year old master monk in my youth.
After heroically dispatching the soldiers effortlessly, while German techno music played somewhere in the background, I turned to the Syrian woman and told her My love is too great and powerful for such a delicate creature such as yourself, find yourself a Syrian farmer, if you guys have farms, but always remember what I taught you about love! And turn and ran. I could hear the echo of her saying I shall never forget your passionate musky love, the great Brian Williams!
Eventually, I made it back to the studio, so that I could give a first hand account of todays action. Signing off, Im the great Brian Williams.

(91,039 posts)Cable "news" is incredibly personality-driven, and each of them has an hour (minus commercials) to fill. Rachel sometimes natters, but she's incredibly bright and eventually gets to the point -- but she's filling time. Nicolle is very good, too, in her own way, and unlike Rachel has been right inside the WH and campaigns.
But you see -- it's a 24-hour news cycle and here I'm identifying each hour by its personality. And I have no control over who the network hires or retains, only over who I watch.
