It’s like something Al Gore would claim.

LOL.. You have the lib media talking point down. That's what Tommy Christopher (fake name and all) was trying to claim today.

Expect nonsense like this to be this years “how much did Palin spend on her dress” fake outrage. When their losing on ideas they resort to this.

Marathons are 26.2 miles, and a sub four hour Marathon would be excellent.

Desperation is correct...

If this IS the best trash they can dig up the Democrats are certainly running scared...AND THEY SHOULD BE...

AND WE WONDER WHY GOOD PEOPLE AVOID PUBLIC LIFE AND VOLUNTEERING.......ASK A LIBERAL...AS THEY DIG A HOLE DEEPER AND DEEPER...

I’m always amazed by people who can speak for every other person. He may just have a busier life than you do. I find this to be nothing of import. BTW I used to work in the fitness field and many of my cohorts were runners and some did run marathons. I am QUITE familiar with how obsessive they were.

I clicked over to HLN news this morning just for a laugh and got one. They were running a story about Condi Rice having lipstick on her teeth during her speech.

Wow they are desperate and falling apart!

He’d actually been referring to watching a “Who’s the Boss” marathon for under three hours.

Just for the record: The current world record time for men over the distance (26 miles 344 yards) is 2 hours 3 minutes and 38 seconds, set in the Berlin Marathon by Patrick Makau of Kenya on 25 September 2011.

Marathons, I think, are exactly 26.2 miles....to represent the distance between Athens and Marathon, Greece.

Maybe it was a composite marathon like Obama’s girlfriend in his book. All it takes is 461.12 100yd. dashes @13 seconds each to do a marathon in one hour forty minutes.

Usually the winner of most marathons can do it in 2 hrs and 10 minutes.

Glad to see the MSM is focusing like a laser on the topics of importance.

In 08 it was the status of Joe the Plumber’s trade license and the DNA of Palin’s Down Syndrome child.

who financed all of Obama’s expensive air travel when he was young and supposedly poor?

That's a question I've always wondered about. Back in that time frame, international air travel was VERY expensive, essentially for the wealthy. Everybody else went by ship.

or Hillary being named after Sir Edmund

or BJ Clinton being around black churches being burned

or Algore being sung "look for the union label" in the crib

If you know how obsessive they are then you know what a crock everything you said before your last sentence is.
