My Special Fitzmas Wish....

Bouldin at the Daily Gotham brings us this tasty tidbit:

Ari Fleischer considering run in NY-19 ?

We interrupt your regularly scheduled 2008 Presidential gossip, pointless speculation and name-recognition-poll-parsing to bring you this bit of news from Political Wire:

Friends of former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer note that the New York native "has done just about everything congressional" except "run for Congress himself." Rep. Sue Kelly's (R) defeat at the hands of Rep.-elect John Hall (D) "now opens up that opportunity for him," reports Human Events.
"Fleischer isn't saying anything about any political plans, but fellow New Yorkers who know him well bet that he will make the House race in '08."

Sweet.

Sweet indeed.

For the sake of all that is good and holy, please let this be true. Santa, I swear I'll never ask for anything ever, ever again...

I am going to, like, light candles to whichever saint I can think of and pray it happens. Please, please, please, god, let it happen.

i'm off to get some candles of my own right this minute...

TODAY is day one. It always is.


Ari..... (4.00 / 1)
You Go, Girl!

We've got some work ahead of us.

There you go again. (4.00 / 2)
Iloveny was right. You guys are always trying to act as if there is some connection between New York republicans and national republicans, when there, like, totally isn't. I heard that Ari hasn't even talked to Bush since they had that major argument in the 7-11 parking lot a couple of years ago, and he decided to go Rockefeller Republican.

i'm already cutting ads in my head (4.00 / 2)
and playing with slogans.

"if you liked (insert total fucking disaster here), you'll love ari fliescher..."

i'd start with "if you liked the iraq war..."

the possibilities are truly endless.

TODAY is day one. It always is.

How about using all the bulls**t he spewed to cover for bush, (0.00 / 0)
juxtaposted with the reality. Like:

WH Press Corps: What about the president saying he was against nation building?
AF: He never said that. Do you have any evidence of that? Do you? Huh, punk?

cut to Bush on the campaign trail in 2000...

Bush: I'm against nation-building.

There's gotta be a million of them.

On the other hand, John Hall will have to watch Ari during debates since he can smoothly lie like a mofo.

Beyond the scope of this blog! (0.00 / 0)
I know no rules apply to the blogs but in order to maintain the focus and purpose of this site, Fed news should be forboden unless linked to State issues. Like... Feds investigate Bruno. Otherwise, take it to take19. But I still love you all. And that's one Dr.'s opionion.

All you need is Love.

But, But, But.... (0.00 / 0)

(lowers head and skulks into the basement)

We've got some work ahead of us.
