Stepping away temporarily from the nbc nightly news desk. He got caught in a lie about being on a helicopter that came under fire in iraq. I made a mistake in recalling the events of 12 years ago. Larry simple mistake. As a fellow purveyor of fake news, part of me sympathizes with Brian Williams. I understand how stories get blurred over the years, especially in tense situations. Once i reported that i coldcocked George Foreman in his grill. Turns out, i just put coldcuts on a George Foreman grill. Got it confused. Okay . Easy mistake. In a weird way, Brian Williams confusion is the perfect metaphor for the entire war on terror nobody has a damn clue whats going on. We have been fighting in this thing since 2003. We started by looking for wmds, which at the time i assumed was a way to classify yourself on a dating site. And i remember thinking, why are we searching for white middleaged dads in iraq . Doesnt make sense. Weve got enough of them here. Turns out we were looking for weapons

Preexisting conditions will be continued to be covered. This is about whether or not a woman can be charged more for the same procedure as a man. This is about Peoples Health care in the middle of a pandemic. This all comes as senators on capitol hill are preparing for quite a battle over barretts confirmation. One of the things i want to ask her is will she recuse herself, because if she does not in terms of any election issues that come before us, because if she does not recuse herself, i fear that the court will be further delegitimized. I think she should step forward and say shell recuse herself from any election contest involving this president. This is basically just adding more flames, fanning the flames of division in a country thats already divided. Its something i would think and hope we would come to our senses and say, hey, cant we wait until after the election .
