In Mike Allen’s Playbook today, former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer provides a guest “Sports Blink” about the NFL playoffs, in which he praises “the mighty Dolphins“:
SPORTS BLINK — Since the usually thorough AP inexplicably omitted the AFC East from the playoff scenarios we published yesterday, ARI FLEISCHER picked up the ball: “The mighty Dolphins can win the division if they beat the lowly Chiefs this weekend, and then beat the Jets in New York for the final regular season game. From 1-15 last year to the possibility of a playoff birth this year (for the first time since President Bush choked on a pretzel watching them in 2001) — and their destiny is under their control. Now that’s news.”
Unmentioned by either Allen or Fleischer is the fact that Fleischer, a Dolphins fan, has also been a paid consultant for the team.
