My college mentor and advisor once told me "Never trust a man with great hair". It's as true today as it was in 1979.

Sorry no equivalent in your examples.

You would do better citing the documented lies from Obama to even approach the BW, HRC.

Oh how about that NBC 911 tape edit?

Seems like a small issue. Lots of "tall tales" coming out of war zones. From Brian Williams to Chris Kyle the stories are always great, but not always true.

No, one would have to be a fool to believe anything that the media puts out. Left or right.

How does someone mis-remember whether or not they were in a helicopter that got shot down behind enemy lines?

NBC

Brian Williams Admits: I Lied About Being Aboard Helicopter Shot Down By RPG in Iraq | The Weekly Standard
I'm sure Brian has been involved in so many emergency landings in helicopters coming under fire in war zones, that he just got them all mixed up. Wasn't Brian also on board the helicopter during that Black Hawk down incident in Mogadishu? Or maybe he was just reporting the incident. It's all so foggy. you say tomato and I say tomahto Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto. Let's just call the whole thing off.

A fairy tale starts with "Once upon a time...." and a war story with "No s*** this really happened..". Both have about equal validity.
