Is Brian Williams the Worst!? Yea I know..

[busterbrown]

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

[flamingdem]

1. He's friends with Andy Lack

That's the really bad news

[busterbrown]

4. This fucking Andy Lack..

is a huge problem.. I think we outght to consider a progressive boycott.. Yea, I know how well Rachel is doing. but i think she would agree.. Sorry,, I’m refering to the L.O’D situation.

[flamingdem]

7. I agree. There's a march in NYC tomorrow to support Lawrence

Tonight they didn't even bother to come up with an excuse for why he wasn't there. I hope he's not using up his sick days!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

8. Gotta make room for all those former Fox BS channel liars.

O'Donnell is one of the best at calling out RW BS, so yeah, he's gotta go. Hey MSNBC, we don't need any more RW news outlets! We need truth tellers like Lawrence!

[emulatorloo]

2. Just loves to hear himself talk.

When he runs out of real things to say he just babbles so he can hear his velvety voice.

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

[WinkyDink]

12. This! BW hates a second of "dead air"! So it becomes "uh uh uh uh" until his next inanity! He

strives mightily for a lame quip all the time, too.

[busterbrown]

18. Exactly WinkyDink

I remember the time my parents didn’t react fast enough to get me one..

So I used Crayons.. Holy crap ...My tucus hurt for an hour

[busterbrown]

15. Exactly and always one level of volumn, tone...N/t

[onecaliberal]

3. Yes. I don't watch him

[SharonClark]

5. Obsequious8

He wastes a lot of time fawning over his guests.

[Eyeball_Kid]

6. He's big on entertainment; not so big on factual information.

In a way, he's perfect for Andy Lack.

[busterbrown]

9. just what the Country needs..

Escapism...Entertainment which plays to the vanity crowd...People who have no idea where Syria exists on a map..or any other mid-east country!

[Rhett Cohen]

10. I wrote this for another message board back during the Syrian strikes

"…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 yourself–the 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 today’s action. Signing off, I’m the great Brian Williams.”

16. Hysterical!

By The Way Welcome to DU

[Hekate]

11. Brian gets good guests, but he's so pompous and full of himself he aggravates me...

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.

[myrna minx]

13. He refers to Americans, not as American Citizens, but as customers -

not to mention his apparent *beautiful bomb* fetish. His smug pompousness is so vulgar.

[JHB]

14. Sportscaster Brian Williams:

SBW: "It could go either way, folks. What a nailbiter! Both teams have ground to cover to get a touchdown!"

US: "The ball is on the FIVE YARD LINE! The score is 49-2 at the two-minute warning. You don't think THOSE little details are worth mentioning? Seriously?"

[busterbrown]

17. Jesus! You nailed it.

these days he’s having a tough time with that one...
