Able Was He Ere He Lied About a Copter

NBC is set to announce that its prevarication-prone former news anchor, Brian Williams, will not be returning to his duties. Instead, he is to be shunted to--oh, the horror!--seldomly-viewed cable news outlet MSBC, there to perform comparatively menial duties.

In broadcasting (and Napoleonic) terms, that's like being exiled to Elba.


Napoleon in exile muses palindromically: "Able was I ere
I saw Elba."
