Tiger Woods hires Ari Fleischer.
Tiger Woods hires Ari Fleischer.
The New York Post reports that golfer Tiger Woods has hired former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer to help repair his public image:
Two sources in the golf community have told The Post that Ari Fleischer, the former presidential advisor to George W. Bush and the man who was brought in to help repair the steroid-shattered image of Mark McGwire, has been huddling with Woods, plotting a strategy for his return to golf — at the Arnold Palmer Invitational starting March 25 at Bay Hill in Orlando.
“They were in his living room this week going over a strategy for how to handle Bay Hill in two weeks,” one source told The Post.
Since his time as President Bush’s top spinmeister, Fleischer has become a consultant for the sports industry. Fleischer has advised Mark McGwire on his return to baseball and public admission about using steroids, the Green Bay Packers on “how to deal with the fallout from their breakup with Brett Favre” in 2008, and “college football’s BCS on how to repair an image that has been ridiculed.” Unclear whether Fleischer’s advice to Woods will include the Brit Hume suggestion to convert to Christianity.

Yawn. This is of no real interest to me. So there’s a spinster out there in the world of sports. What else is new?
March 11th, 2010 at 12:24 pmIn a word…
Is bombing a 3rd world country now part of Tiger’s comeback plan?
March 11th, 2010 at 12:24 pmNote the condescending pat on the bald head from the fratbrat in chief.
March 11th, 2010 at 12:25 pmJust a miserable excuse for a human being. Ari too.
Tiger Woods hires Ari Fleischer.
Although it’s clear that Tiger is troubled, I really thought Tiger was pretty smart. I guess not.
March 11th, 2010 at 12:27 pmI really like golf.
March 11th, 2010 at 12:28 pmI really like Tiger Woods as a golfer.
I just don’t see the point of this thread. It doesn’t advance a progressive political agenda. And it has no entertaining or other value.
Tiger Woods hires Ari Fleischer.
Is he planning on invading a country that never did anything to him?
March 11th, 2010 at 12:30 pmHowever, I did think of something.
I wonder if Brit Hume is going to convert to Christianity. I doubt it, as it would require giving up that whole “bearing false witness” thing.
March 11th, 2010 at 12:31 pmThe Tiger thing is duller than duller.
March 11th, 2010 at 12:31 pmBut the Ari thing is . . . ick.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ya…GOOD LUCK with that Tiger!
A little reminder,
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED and WMDs!
March 11th, 2010 at 12:33 pmAri Fleischer is the best liar I’ve ever seen in action. You could say he’s the Tiger Woods of lying.

March 11th, 2010 at 12:35 pmWMD?
March 11th, 2010 at 12:36 pmOh, “Women’s Many Delights”.
Then, it shouldn’t be “mission accomplished”, but rather “e…”. Never mind.
Perhaps Tiger Woods should convert to evangelicalism.
That way, after he has accepted Jesus as his personal savior, he can continue to sleep around, lie about it and make as much money as possible.
Public contrition followed by years of utter assholism is the new evangelical way to holiness.
We already know that he is virtuous because he is rich.
According to evangelical theology, that means that God loves and favors him.
March 11th, 2010 at 12:37 pmTiger cheated on his wife. For that he needs Oprah, or Dr. Joyce Brothers, or even Dr. Phil. He didn’t cheat at golf. If he had, then Fleischer might be his best bet.
March 11th, 2010 at 12:37 pmThis proves once again that our media is controlled and dominated by Republicans. There is no “liberal media” anymore. Tiger had enough money to hire anyone, but hired a Republican media spindoctor to control the media message. He and his staff know the Republicans have the most skill at controlling the media messages through lies, misinformation, and intimidation.
March 11th, 2010 at 12:38 pmok, seriously – would you hire a publicist that allowed the press to get a hold of a picture of GWB rubbing his head
March 11th, 2010 at 12:38 pmI agree. This isn’t TMZ.

March 11th, 2010 at 12:40 pmI predict an extremely bumpy ride for the philanderer.
Golf fans lost all semblance of decorum years ago BECAUSE of Tiger on the course, and that wild fandom will only continue, yet on a negative public perception level he’s NEVER faced.
Tiger has overcome much in his life (tire old “meme’, has he REALLY??), but losing his “security bubble” will negatively affect his life and golf game forever.
I don’t think he’s properly estimated his ability to FAIL, and Ari pal, look, this isn’t an old, white, cowboy hat pretending idiot that’s a slam-dunk sell to trailer trash morons countrywide because he’s blowing up scary brown skinned people half-way around the World in a needless war of choice.
Good luck, idiots.
March 11th, 2010 at 12:40 pmoops.
maybe shoulda stuck to serial adultery there, Tigger.
March 11th, 2010 at 12:41 pmIf Ari does for Tiger what he did for Bush, Tiger is screwed.
March 11th, 2010 at 12:42 pm“They were in his living room this week going over a strategy for how to handle Bay Hill in two weeks,” one source told The Post.”
Hmmm…Now let’s see how we deal with this…Tiger, you:
Cheated BIG time on your wife
Slept with bazillions of women
You had the phone numbers of those bazillions of women
You recorded having sex with some of these women
You lied…tried to ignore…tried to cover your trists
You went into hiding
You had a lame “press conference”
You bragged that you were “so good” because you were “blasian”
We can clear this up and make you a hero in about 10 minutes.

So now Ari…you represent liars, cheaters, dopers, more liars, war mongering hawks…oh, the list is too long to think about. You are a gem Ari…a real gem for America.
March 11th, 2010 at 12:43 pmHe didn’t cheat at golf. If he had, then Fleischer might be his best bet.
Hammer, meet the head of nail.
March 11th, 2010 at 12:44 pmBrianFL at 12:38 pm
This is about big money, though. The PGA and all its members are more prosperous if Tiger recovers his image, because TV ratings = megadollars. Wherever you find megadollars, you will find Republicans lurking nearby.
March 11th, 2010 at 12:45 pmTiger Woods hires Ari Fleischer.

March 11th, 2010 at 12:45 pmDid Tiger have sex with the Coultergeist?

Ooops! Well now, that didn’t turn out very well either, did it?

March 11th, 2010 at 12:47 pmFWIW, three weeks ago USA Today suspected Fleischer was working with Woods: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/golf/pga/2010-02-17-tiger-woods-talks_N.htm

I hope not..Man-on-man sex doesn’t sound like Tiger’s thing…

Ari’s a repiggie, so he is probably bisexual.

Based on the photo above, I’d say he’s likes to play “catcher”.

March 11th, 2010 at 12:53 pmTiger Woods has hired former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer to help repair his public image:
By hiring a spin doctor like Fleischer, Woods has taken the first step in admitting to a problem it. I mean covering it up.

I could have sorted this out for Tiger for a lot less money than Ari will get. I’d just tell him to start playing golf again and let the empty heads chatter away in the media. Who cares, Tiger?
He didn’t cheat, he didn’t rely on steroids — nothing he did had anything to do with his golf game (except, of course, that his fame triggered his sense of entitlement and ego). Just play the game, keep your plus fours zipped and shut up about it!
March 11th, 2010 at 12:57 pmApparently Woods has YET to hit bottom.

I once had a really crappy PC game demo (the title was something like Combat Golf) and the best weapon in the game was a thermonuclear golf ball which one would obviously use to nuke the computers golfer before they could nuke you. Maybe Ari played this game and decided to make it a reality.
Fuzzy Slurpers had sex with Tiger Woods.
March 11th, 2010 at 1:00 pmTiger just emulates the Bush style. Has he none of his own?
March 11th, 2010 at 1:01 pmAccording to one of Tiger’s sexual partners, Tiger had sex with her and another guy, and bottomed for the guy.
March 11th, 2010 at 1:01 pmfalco, if evangenital is correct then Woods HAS hit bottom.
March 11th, 2010 at 1:01 pmSo, the GOP is the party of billionaires. This is news????

Bill Maher is correct when he says that Congress and the repiggie party are crawling with closeted men.
March 11th, 2010 at 1:06 pmBush knew how to hire the best. Ari is a natural liar. Lying is like breathing for him. Tony Snow was the consummate profressional liar, having been trained at Fox News. Dana Perino is very good, because she is too dumb to know she is lying.
March 11th, 2010 at 1:07 pm@56 It’s funny but true!

He will never want for any sort of man/man love.

March 11th, 2010 at 1:12 pmTiger,
Making an enormous mistake by hiring Ari Fleischer is not the way to get people to forget your initial enormous mistake. It’s a reminder you have terrible judgment off the golf course.
March 11th, 2010 at 1:13 pmIs it because it has the world balls in it somewhere?
March 11th, 2010 at 1:13 pmoops= word
March 11th, 2010 at 1:13 pm@69 Didn’t Bush make that same mistake?
March 11th, 2010 at 1:15 pm.
Correctly stated…
… Ari’s profession is called Professional Turd Polisher.

Or had his bottom hit.
March 11th, 2010 at 1:31 pmSounds like Tiger had better “watch hat he says and watch what he does”
March 11th, 2010 at 1:44 pmsnark
Most ordinary people don’t give a damn about Tiger Woods and his affairs. The only reason for bringing in Fleischer is for Tiger to rehabilitate his image for ad endorsement purposes.
March 11th, 2010 at 1:45 pmwhat, not hat
March 11th, 2010 at 1:45 pmsorry about that
Why on earth would Tiger Woods want Ari, a Bush enabler, to repair HIS image?
With Ari in front of you, how could you seriously accept his words/assertions regarding Tiger Woods? I would be incredibly skeptical of anything Ari has to say, in light of his baseless defense of the little woodenhead Bush.
March 11th, 2010 at 1:47 pmWho gives a left-handed firetruck about this? Why does Tiger’s image need repairing? He’s a flukin’ GOLFER
Everyone sit down here’s a news story: PRO ATHELETES GETS ALL THE HOTTIES THEY CAN HANDLE.
Maybe he hooking Ari up. He looks like he’s in for sloppy 2nds.
March 11th, 2010 at 1:53 pmjust what a sex maniac needs. a neocon war criminal to represent him.
what, was perino busy? KKKarl wont work for black people. he wont even have meetings with them.
March 11th, 2010 at 2:22 pmFleisher? He did so well at convincing us to invade Iraq, I just have to believe this one will also succeed!
Heh.
Money well spent, there, Tiger.
March 11th, 2010 at 2:42 pmPerhaps he could hire Leona Helmsley to give him charm and humility lessons. All he has to do to repair his image is stop whoring around and play golf. Admit he was wrong everytime anyone brings it up.
March 11th, 2010 at 2:44 pmOh, Tiger, how far you have fallen!
March 11th, 2010 at 2:44 pmTiger really needed a woman for this job – but maybe he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to keep his hands off her.
March 11th, 2010 at 3:07 pm*
So it’s clear Tiger still wants to keep avoiding the truth. Why else would he hire a professional liar.
March 11th, 2010 at 3:13 pmYou can rearrange the letters of the name “Ari Fleischer” to spell the phrase “I relish farce.” It seems so apt here.
March 11th, 2010 at 3:44 pmLove the photo TP. Kramer and George you gotta love em! What Seinfeld episode is that?
March 11th, 2010 at 3:45 pmIf Woods is no longer a Tiger, he must be a….Cheatah!
/rimshot
March 11th, 2010 at 3:58 pmWas Bush groping Fleischer?
March 11th, 2010 at 4:21 pmTo PatrioticLiberalChristian:
@48: “falco, if evangenital is correct then Woods HAS hit bottom.”
I hear that, unless, of course, Woods is scheming Ari’s bottom !!
March 11th, 2010 at 4:53 pmIs that picture of bush giving fliescher a high five?
March 11th, 2010 at 5:11 pmTiger Woods realized that Ari Fleischer & company were able to sell the Iraq war using old WMDS stories.
March 11th, 2010 at 5:46 pmTiger thinks: if they can sell the Iraq war to Americans,they can sell me again to the public as the family man.
celtic cynic says:
Was Bush groping Fleischer?
He was trying to open the clam.
March 11th, 2010 at 5:47 pmIf Tigers needed to keep his hands off a female spokesperson, he could have hired a lesbian like Mary Cheney, or someone ugly like Bay Buchanan or Mary Matalin.

Tiger, hiring Ari “the W ass-sucking scumbag” Fleischer proves you have no interest other than blowing smoke up the public’s skirt and creating a false sense of reality so the sponsors will come back and pay you ridiculous sums of money to put your cheesy name on their product.
Kinda like Kobe, except he bought his wife a $6 million ring. Guess Ari came cheaper than that. But Tiger, you are still and always will be a shitbird. A Hell of a golfer but a shitbird.
March 12th, 2010 at 12:17 amTiger woods is a d-bag who has added to his problems by hiring the loser Ari Flescher. Icky to say the least.
March 12th, 2010 at 8:07 amNow I’ve seen everything!
March 12th, 2010 at 12:28 pmDon’t you see the irony here? The “family values” party takes an adulterer under their wings! Money is all that counts.
March 12th, 2010 at 12:29 pmIn other words, Tiger Woods doesn’t plan on coming clean regarding his sick past. I hope this blows up in his face.
March 12th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
