I wonder what Brian Williams thinks of all this Ben Carson stuff?

In case anyone forgot, Brian Williams was top anchor of NBC news and was dumped after it was revealed that he had been embellishing a 'combat' story when he was covering the war in Iraq

Sorry but I cant help but wonder, good ole Brian has to be pretty pissed these days!

I can just hear him saying... well hell my story was, like, at least close to what happened. Carson just makes shit up out of thin air!

And I only had the one story, Carson tells one tale after another and not only does he get a pass for it, he is the frontrunner for GOP president!
.

If Williams wasn't such a hairspray covered tool for the Right, this would almost make me want to buy him a drink.

Lets just call it poetic justice

He only lied or played loose with the facts when it came to his policies and his record. But, I haven't seen much evidence of him fabricating life stories.

When Carson turned down that West Point scholarship
in the Falkland Islands War
as Brian Williams' chopper was shot down.
