Paul Ryan's marathon

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had something to say about Paul Ryan's marathon exaggeration today:

on Colbert Report now!

How disappointing, he didn't even mention Letsrun. No Colbert bump for this thread.

"yes as we landed I was under fire, taking fire apparently from snipers, I know what it is like to be in harms way."

WHAT! They then confront her on live national TV show...running the tape of this landing and her exiting the plane. To a crowd of children with food and toys and everyone playing and laughing. Commentator asks her straight up...what

are you talking about...there is no fire storm. She just side stepped and was pissed she was caught and this host dared catch her. This is one of a million...mostly criminal by Osama and Hillary and Pelosi.

Could you evidence of each one of those million lies please?

So let me get this right. It is just fine with you that this freak of nature...Hillary Clinton, goes on National TV, more than once!, and states this incredible firearms battle she survived...and did not know the whole landing was filmed...oh forget it...think we have all learned now that to argue with a liberal is like arguing with Muslims over the Koran. Ya get no where. I know one thing you will agree with me on! Hillary has the biggest most ugly calves and should always be ordered by Obama to were pants! Right there Obama has failed us. It is miserable to see those things on live TV!

Desperately changing subject ....

Hilary exaggerated and was mocked for it. Paul Ryan exaggerated and is being mocked for it. His is really funny because he was playing up his fitness. It turns out he is very average but does p90x.

Paul Ryan did not run that!

Geez I don't know ..well, that she exaggerated. I mean she said this straight out...they played it again and again on TV. She was dead serious. I can't remember what show..like Letterman or something..I watched it. They like surprised her with the clip. It was complete beautiful landing and scene of children greeting her etc. Nothing was going on. She just would not answer..she was mad! I just can't believe she would not know that could have been taped. Strange deal. But her calves..thats a deal breaker..I can't take those fire plugs sitting dead center in a TV camera. YUK!

And this makes Ryan's lie OK? Remember, too, that Hillary lost.

This is a running website. It's owned by people who have, in part, built their reputation by outing cheats and liars in the sport of running. That's why we're discussing it here, and that's why we're scolding Rojo.

Is this really so hard to understand?

My legal name is redacted and cannot be found on public records so I can imagine he ran 2:50. I just wonder why he didn't serve in the Armed Forces of the United States of America is he's so patriotic.

Ryan has walked backed his marathon statement.

When he becomes VP he'll have more time to train. Since it is a do nothing job with sweet perks.

I took the list of celebrity marathon times from another thread and added Paul Ryan to it.

From the Runner's World thread:

What time did Harry Reid run for the marathon or any other races? I can't seem to find them. I'm assuming that he is slow, like a 3:30 marathoner type.

And this makes Ryan's lie OK? Remember, too, that Hillary lost.

This is a running website. It's owned by people who have, in part, built their reputation by outing cheats and liars in the sport of running. That's why we're discussing it here, and that's why we're scolding Rojo.

Is this really so hard to understand?[/quote]

Yes it is. Many people have no concept of time or hours in the marathon..just trying to get to finish. This cut on Ryan..all these posts are directed at him politically. So lets talk about the greatest of liars politically. VOTE FOR OSAMA AND PELOSI..and HILLARY!

Paul Ryan discusses his Marathon lie (taped interview):

VOTE FOR OSAMA

How could we do that? The man is dead.

Of course it was a terrible lie when he said that he didn't watch porn - but what shall a 54 year old man with three wifes to satisfy do to bring himself in the mood?

I hurt my back when I was in my mid-20s, so I had to stop running.

That is a contradiction to "I just run ten miles or yes".

And so obviously, my perception of races and times was off.

The "numbers guy" forgot how long 26.2 miles are, although he once ran the distance?

I thought that was an ordinary time until my brother showed me a 3-hour marathon is, you know, very -- crazy fast. I ran a 4-hour marathon.

He didn't thought that was an "ordinary time", when he gave the interview, and the interviewer didn't, too. Hewitt said "Holy smokes!" And Ryan responded: "I was fast when I was younger, yeah."

Liar, liar, running shorts on fire!
