-Brian Williams
Just watched the "NBC Nightly News." Brian Williams talking about "this ongoing train wreck in Washington," "this endless story," "this toxic debate." Now he's conducting a one-hour special (scheduled months ago) about a day on Capitol Hill, coincidentally right in the midst of the "train wreck." Thought I'd watch it vs. reruns on "60 Minutes." Even Joe Lieberman says, "This place is dysfunctional at this point." (Coming from him, that says a lot.)
Lieberman, McCain and Lindsey Graham are big pals, and when Brian Williams asked the assembled trio what was causing the gridlock, Graham volunteered an answer. He said that unless members of Congress are independently wealthy, they have to sign "these pledges." Of course these pledges may lead them to violate their oaths of office. (Grover Norquist comes to mind.)
Good show! Pretty scathing on Brian Williams's part.
Oh, and John Boehner smokes in his office. Harry Reid said that's why Boehner can't display good vintage artwork on his walls.
