2. Brian Williams' sarcasm has class and style--levels above the usual use of sarcasm we're exposed to.

I feel exactly the same way about him. I live for it, too. It took me awhile to recognize his overall quality, one that's impossible to imitate.

Those moments make him one of the best anchors on television.

Lawrence O'Donnell is the only other anchor who comes close, because of that twinkle in his eye, when he's sarcastic.

These two raise sarcasm to the level of rhetoric.
