Is This Brian Williams’ BIGGEST Lie?

Let’s face it — NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams is in the fight of his life to save his reputation. He’s under fire for claiming a plane he was flying in was shot down by RPG’s in Iraq.

In what we hope is not his BIGGEST lie yet, in 2010, Williams chatted with Andrew Goldman for Elle magazine. As everyone who reads Goldman knows, he tends to get his subjects talking about dicey subjects such as sex, old girlfriends and such.

So ultimately the conversation took a turn to pleated pants and large penises.

When Goldman told the newsman that he knows someone who wears pleated pants because he has a large schlong, Williams related.

“Well, I’m with him,” Williams told the interviewer. “It’s a huge issue.”

The jokey anchor said he was just kidding.

The precise conversation:

ELLE: You still see a lot of pleats in Washington.

BW: DC sometimes lags. Obama’s still rocking the pleated pants.

ELLE: I actually have a close friend in DC who still wears pleats. His wife confessed to my wife that he couldn’t move to flat fronts because his penis was just too large.

BW: Well, I’m with him. It’s a huge issue. Kidding!
