My opinion: I agree with the assessment that Brian Williams is a performer (as described in the NPR interview). At what point did he lose touch with reality? What was the payoff for making up those stories? Frankly, I don't see any sort of damage control that would ever restore his credibility. He really crossed the Rubicon (an extreme analogy, I know, but I am thinking he did commit an inalienable act of warfare - on himself). He needs to go and not come back.
It reminds me of the Tucson politician who was caught shoplifting decades ago. He stuck a steak down his pants. Of course he got caught. Forever after, that incident has followed him with negative impact to his career and his life. This situation is Brian Williams' "steak in the pants."
