Brian Williams has found cautious support and heavy criticism for lying about his war coverage in Iraq. He can take some solace in a supporter who has had his own public relations problems in the past few years - Mr. Charlie Sheen.
Sheen posted a lengthy tweet via TwitLonger on Wednesday night that defends Williams, who has been suspended from "NBC Nightly News" for six months without pay. The "Anger Management" star thanks Williams for his delivery of the news every night and called him a "true Patriot and Hero."
Here's the full transcription of his open letter:
Dear Mr. Williams,
Sorry to bother you during this most surreal, unjust
and mercurial moment in
your awesome life.
First off,
THANK YOU,
for 24 years of inimitable
professionalism and top
shelf brilliance,
as a stone cold
passion driven and
(PERFECTLY) fact based journalist.
Secondly,
Thank you "squared"
for delivering not only the news on a nightly basis,
(PERFECTLY)
to myself and my family.
But for every other person alive,
(with a TV)
who relied
and still do,
on your poetic, insightful
and NOBLE sacrifices,
that made our longest nights
shorter,
and our shortest nights
safer.
You good sir,
are a hero in my
"Entire Library"
Lastly;
you are clearly the victim of
a transparent and vile
witch hunt!
Erroneously
"staged" by hooligans,
non coms, cowards and
oligarchs,
who's only
desperate and
hideous goal is to discredit
the genius that they relied
on for almost 3 decades!
Now and forever you
are a true Patriot and a Hero
of mine
until the day i leave this
star crossed imperfect
Rock we call Earth...
Mr W:
respect
love
hi 5's
and refuge!
(if you need it!)
I remain humbly
and on
dangerous standby
at your service....
I am;
the MaSheen....
Sheen has faced his own publicity troubles over the course of his career, the most notable coming in 2011 when Warner Bros. fired him from his CBS sitcom "Two and a Half Men." The 49-year-old actor made derogatory comments about the show's creator Chuck Lorre and was banned from the Warner Bros. studio lot.
