Here’s a little secret, it’s not just Canadians who were polite at the Vancouver Winter Games. There were plenty of wonderful American visitors. Yes, even at the Gold medal hockey games. Before NBC Olympic broadcaster Brian Williams raided his hotel mini bar and headed for home, he left a very nice thank you note on his pillow, so to speak. He likes our “thoroughly polite country." He met CTV’s top Olympic broadcaster, whose name is also Brian Williams, go figure. And he likes him, too. So, thanks, says Williams, “For always saying nice things about the United States...when you know we’re listening. [And] for sharing Joannie Rochette with us.”
