Peyton Manning Hires Ari Fleischer To Ensure No One Believes A Word He Says
image:
would you buy a used sportsball hero from this man?
Over the weekend, a big thing happened in sportsball, which you know we are always on top of here at yr Wonkette. Turns out that the freedom-haters over at Al Jazeera declared jihad on All-American Hero Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning by reporting that he got some sweet sweet human growth hormone from an Indianapolis anti-aging clinic. That is a no-no, Peyton Manning! Did you learn nothing from Lance Armstrong? Do you really want to have to eventually give up your World Series ring or whatever it is your sort of people win?
Needless to say, Manning wants to get out in front of this story, so he went and found the most trustworthy person imaginable, a person whose integrity is so unimpeachable that you will believe, in your heart of hearts, anything the man says. Yes, we are of course speaking of former George W. Bush spokescreature Ari Fleischer.
According to a report from NFL Networks Ian Rapoport, Manning has retained the services of former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, whose company, Ari Fleischer Sports Communications, has previously advised the NFL, Major League Baseball, the PAC-12, and Joe Torre.
Christ on a cracker. Its as if Peyton Manning and all the leading lights of sportsball were somehow asleep for the entirety of 2001 to 2003. You really wanted to hire the guy who comforted Americans post-9/11 by telling them they need to watch what they say, watch what they do. You figured that the person Americans trust the most is one of the key architects of the whole Saddam has weapons of mass destruction that he is actually pointing right at your house yes, yours! right now falsehood. Seriously, the man was part of the biggest lie of the last 20 years. This is not a man who engenders warm feelings of trust.

(44,173 posts)I saw your posts last night insinuating Nugent, Kid Rock, and MeatLoaf had endorsed HRC.
Another Bernie supporter said s/he was pretty sure you weren't correct about Nugent.
See http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=953399 and the posts following.
Another poster asked you to provide links to support your claims.
You couldn't or wouldn't so I am surprised to see you are doubling down here.
Spreading disinformation/fabricating wing-nut endorsements for HRC doesn't help Bernie win.
It also surprised me, because the posts I've seen of yours aren't like these at all.
--------------------------------
Kid Rock said he liked Ben Carlson but won't endorse anybody.

I have no idea who Meatloaf is supporting but it won't be Bernie or HRC.

What did Ari do to deserve this treatment? Did he diss the bern?

(11,012 posts)Baghdad Bob? It was very well known back during his term (and after) as Press Secretary for GWBush that Ari Fleischer was incapable of honesty, integrity, or ethical behavior. How did we know when Ari was lying? Was he breathing? He was lying.
Ari's reputation had nothing to do with Bernie. Ari did it all by himself.

Oh. Er. Sorry, Peyton. Better luck next time. Maybe you should talk to O. J. He had a pretty good team.

(56,177 posts)Hiding HGH use is a piece of cake.
GummyBearz
(2,931 posts)HGH can make sylvester stalone into rambo, rocky, etc. Look at Manning, aka "limp noodle arm" and tell me you think he is on HGH... not to mention that he hasn't played in a month and probably wont play again this year. Its a non-story, and if he wants to waste money on ari flescher, so be it.
joeybee12
(56,177 posts)No one is saying he's on it now...it was 2011 when he was recovering from neck surgery...and you proved my point, throw sh*t out there and people only read the headlines.
GummyBearz
(2,931 posts)My bad, didn't know this was an issue from 5 years ago. That is definitely late breaking news, thanks for educating me on what may or may not have happened in 2011. Throwing shit out there happens, no one like a patriots fan would know that more. Keep your balls inflated now

(56,177 posts)Or just get spoon-fed some more lies.
GummyBearz
(2,931 posts)I have taken more science classes than I can count. The thing I can't explain is why a ball boy would be seen on CCTV taking footballs into a bathroom, come out a bit later, and somehow out of all those footballs, the one used by the patriots offense wound up deflated. Guess it wasn't covered in any my science classes

(20,629 posts)his sex scandal a few years back. Fleisher had him do that press conference with his Mom in the front row, when he was dressed in a suit and looking like he'd taken half a bottle of Ambien. Heckuva job, Ari!

Not surprised to see unethical behavior by the Mannings though. Right wing Rethugs are masters at it.
