Brian Williams erred/embroidered about Lawrence going to Boston - he had Warren on tonight [View all]

May or may not have been his doing but considering the circumstances it seems to be a warning of things to come. To me anyway. YMMV

Call @MSNBC & leave a message #SaveLawrence. Also email - letters@msnbc.com. #keeplawrence.

You can call msnbc 24/7 there should be an operator
