Ari Fleischer Stopped His 9/11 Tweets. He’s Also Been Working For A Saudi Golf Venture.

TPM Article Topics

Former Bush administration Press Secretary Ari Fleischer has a 9/11 tradition.

Almost every year since 2013, Fleischer has gathered his notes and his recollections, then live-tweeted the events of September 11 as he and President George W. Bush experienced them. It’s a spectacle that revives the atmosphere of the immediate aftermath of the attacks and the environment that the Bush administration stoked to create the War on Terror.

So when do we get Fleischer ‘raising questions’ about who killed Khashoggi?

I believe that’s next up when you join the Saudi payroll.

Oh, Ari. How l’ve longed to miss you.

You were not the first, but certainly an original.
You were the Sean of the Spicer.
The Kellyanne of the Conway.
A veritable (and verifiable) font of alternative facts.

But like bricks in a wall,
You’ll always be little more than footnote in the biographies of Noteworthy Pieces of Shit.

So the Saudis shut down his patriotic never forget annual review of 9/11 by paying him off.
He’s right about one thing, he “didn’t suffer the most” from 9/11.

Ari set a new standard for smarmy dishonesty by a press secretary. Who in the world wants to read his lies about 9/11? And every year on this day, no less?

Good riddance to whatever self-serving thing this was.

“In truth, it is exhausting to relive the day. It wears me down to go through it, even though I am not the one who has suffered the most.”

And here I thought it was just me that found Ari exhausting and insufferable.

Expect Ari to lay low for a while until this blows over.

A good liar is one that is never caught in a lie. Ari failed that test on, to be kind, more than a few occasions.

So, as a friend with a penchant for editing, I suggest this:

Fleischer was among the better many liars the GOP foisted.

Or

Fleischer was among the better many liars the GOP has foisted.

You’re welcome in advance.

So he’s moved to the Unrepentant Dick period of his career? Not that much of an adjustment for him.

OT, but speaking of calling out liars, has anyone seen this beauty?

This is how it’s done.

In actual truth, Ari is exactly the same as the rest of the fascsistgop ‘luminaries’ and ‘leaders’. Every damned one of them would sell out this country for their own financial gain. Their ‘patriotism’ has always been a sham exactly like their phony ‘honor’, integrity’, and ‘human decency’.

Fleischer is simply following the lead of career political folk of both parties, who scream, “show me the money!”

“As I explained in my tweets, I had to board a flight to travel and the fact that after 21 years there is nothing new to say or reveal, led me to the decision I made,” Fleischer told TPM in an emailed statement.

Can somebody please ask Fleischer what new revelation accompanied his 9/11 tweets last year?
