"Brian Williams didn’t kill anyone."

Awww, poor Brian. No one is going to bat for him because he's not opinionated enough. Excerpt:

“​The problem for Brian is that unlike an opinionated cable news host who might have an army of like-minded supporters prepared to fight the social media war, a network news anchor’s support these days is inevitably going to be far less passionate, even for Brian. They may like and appreciate him but few are going to be prepared to do ‘battle’ for him and so it’s hardly surprising that he is generally being skewered by the social media masses.”

In other words, he has no real friends because he's window-dressing.

Piers Morgan offers the best defense of Brian Williams to date: "Brian Williams didn’t kill anyone."

“We surely need to get a collective grip and gain some perspective on all this. Brian Williams didn’t kill anyone. He skewed a story about his experience in Iraq which made him sound a bit closer to the action and therefore more heroic than he actually was. It was untrue, and wrong of him to do it, but why should it be terminally so?”

Yes, that's really the only way you can lose your job: commit a murder. Nobody ever lost their job over anything less. And people who lose their jobs suffer the stigma of everyone thinking they are murderers. Please.

"Steyer didn't win bupkis."

What's a big election victory without a Downfall Parody? I know that J-Carp will especially enjoy this. All the funnier that Tom Steyer's name sounds like Steiner giving that part of the video another layer of comedic resonance.

I want the butterfly

HT Kathy Shaidle: Indonesia mulls tearing down Obama statue. This is the kind of stuff I live for.

"Barack Obama has yet to make a significant contribution to the Indonesian nation. We could say Obama only ate and shit in Menteng. He spent his subsequent days living as an American," the web page says.

"For the dignity of a sovereign nation, Barack Obama's monument in Menteng Park must be removed immediately."

As the kiddies would say, Obama is soooooo last year.

New low for the bro

From the latest Quinnipiac poll:

"A new Quinnipiac national survey shows the public evenly split on President Obama's job approval rating. The 45% job approval is his lowest to date in the Quinnipiac poll, and his 45% disapproval rating is his highest.

...

The public is equally split at 45/45 on the question of whether President Obama's first year in office was "mainly" a success or a failure. Among the crucial group of registered Independents, 40% view Obama's first year as a success while 47% view it as a failure."

How's that hope and change working out for you? I think at this point all 40 ounces are gone.
