Bush Spokesman (Ari) Gets a Goodbye Hosing

Bush Spokesman Gets a Goodbye Hosing



ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, Md. -- White House press secretary Ari Fleischer thought he was only posing for pictures when he was brought to the nose of Air Force One after President Bush returned from a trip to Africa on Saturday.

What he didn't know was that his staff had enlisted a base fire engine to help mark the end of Fleischer's 2 1/2-year tenure as Bush's chief spokesman.

He quickly realized what was up when the mist from the engine's hose blew his way.

Fleischer, who by this time had exchanged his navy blue business suit for a pair of sweat pants, T-shirt and running shoes, sprinted away.

With firefighters in pursuit, Fleischer eluded them again.

But he then indulged his staff, administration and military officials, and reporters gathered on the tarmac by walking into the spray and getting drenched.

"This is what happens to me at the end of a typical briefing," Fleischer joked, referring to his daily encounters with the White House press corps. "That's a pool spray."

After all, he's been "hosing" the American public for almost two years now.

shit that hes been sending out about bush....in other words..reporters washing off all his so called "truths" about bush.....

What gets me is that our country is in a MAJOR crisis here and and abroad......in every way.....and this mal-administration doesn't even put on an appearance of "concern" about any of it.

You think back on other administrations during difficult times and there was a sense of sobriety ever present.

Just fun and games for these little jokers......

Im not gay, but many a gay man has told me Ari sends their Gaydar meter off the charts when they see him speak.

So what does that have to do with anything? :wtf:

THAT's what it has to do with anything.

That THEY would receive it as an insult is the thing, even tho it shouldn't be for any normal person, whether he/she was or was not.

that explains his Bush love.

hose and hit this crock shucker in the head.

charge (later disproven) about the childish antics of the departure of the CLinton whitehouse staff? Anyone else see the irony about this little cute means of departure for Ari - at the hands of his so "adult" staff?

:evilgrin:

where the prisoners get deloused and hosed down? Fresh fish!

:thumbsdown:

and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
