    Integrity...it's like virginity. Once it is gone, it never comes back.

    No one is perfect, but people who make a living reading the news should understand better than most the consequences of telling lies.

    I think I remember being shot down by Miss November.

    Brian Williams tried to have us believe he grew up on NASCAR back when Dale Earnhardt was killed so he could convince everybody he was grieving too. He lost any credibility he ever had with me back in 2001.

    I remember that as well. He even worked his son into the story. His statements at the time didn't ring true. You have to respect the pattern.

    I feel like calling this stolen valor is a stretch.

    Agreed. Dan Rather claiming he was a Marine is much closer to stolen valor.

    Isn't stolen valor where some poser wears medals and/or claims rank he never earned?

    Brian Williams is a liar, will always be a liar, nothing he does will change that.

    he thought he could lie and act like he had valor and steal some fame for himself. he pretended he was shot down and that took away from people who actually were shot down.

    and its not something you misremember. I flew on many helo's, and I am certain I would remember if I was shot down. even just a little.

    next thing you know a video will surface of him at a bar wearing a uniform telling people he was shot down and now a disabled war hero.

    nothing like lying politicians and news people.

    Oh ok, I didn't think of that, another version of stolen valor.

    What makes this especially egregious is that he has been telling this story for more than a decade on a nationally broadcast program.
