    Glen, are you sure...

    ...this alleged Brian Williams piece wasn't a satire from The Onion? I mean, this almost screams "satire." I read the Noonan piece and was immediately struck by the racist undertones - the tacit assumption that Obama is less respectful of America's heritage and heroes, and the implicit assertion that a misty-eyed nostalgia for Henry Ford is a pre-requisite for the presidency. I can't believe for a moment that Brian Williams was serious when he nominated Noonan for a Pulitzer.

    This is a put on, Glen. It simply has to be. Have you tried contacting Brian for his comment? I'm sure he will disavow this hoax.
