NBC’s Brian Williams on Thursday knocked Rush Limbaugh for his comments about New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, telling “Rock Center” viewers that the radio show host’s statements are proof “politics survived” the storm.
After praising Christie for his “tactile and indefatigable” response, Williams laid into the radio host for his comments about the governor. Among other things, Limbaugh this week has called Christie a “Greek column” for President Barack Obama who has been showing "man love" for the president and has gone "overboard in praising a failed president" for political purposes.
"So after all this loss you might be curious as to why Rush Limbaugh went after Gov. Christie today," Williams said. "It was because he’s getting along so well with the president, working together, saying nice things about Barack Obama. Just when we feared the storm wiped away everything, we learned politics survived.”
“Proof that life goes on,” he added after the segment wrapped.
During his monologue, Williams also blasted former FEMA director Michael Brown for saying the lesson of Hurricane Sandy is that people need to “chill out.”
"Something we intend to pass along to these homeowners in Mantaloking, New Jersey, as soon as the embers from their homes have thoroughly cooled," Williams said, adding that Brown was responsible for the “largest domestic human rights outrage of the modern era, the Katrina response.”

Rush just knocked him back. Look for the audio after his show. ^-^

Rush is big enough to take care of himself and Brian Williams isn't going to change anyone's views on Rush - pro or con - one iota.

Every other week when I go for my mani/pedi I have to hear the NBC nightly news and the insufferable Brian Williams.......... talk about soft-peddling Sandy tonight basically he covered Bloomberg cancelling the Marathon and moved on from there......... they are NOT going to say anything that will hurt Obama the next four days.
