I'm not sure I've ever witnessed a more disgraceful performance by a so-called journalist than what transpired on Wednesday's "Hardball."  In fact, from the moment MSNBC's Chris Matthews introduced his guest, former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer, the "Hardball" host ...

newVideoPlayer("/arichrisfight.flv", 506, 423,""); Oh man. Who even knows why this happened, but Chris Matthews and former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer had a hilarious bitchy fight a few minutes ago. Ari calls Chris "shameful" and says "how dare you" and then they talk over each other for a fe...

Does a day go by when the Foxagandists don't invite one of the enablers of the disaster politics of the past eight years to offer his or her wretched opinion about what's going on now? Out of necessity, the Obama administration is tasked with cleaning up the overflowing cesspool that Cheney-Bush hav...

In that horr...

Perhaps as a method of self-defense, The Washington Post offered op-ed space in Sunday's paper to former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer to object to his deputy Scott McClellan's charge in his book that the White House press corps were "complicit enablers" of the Bush agenda. As a "...

When Ari Fleischer's book, Taking Heat, was released in 2005, was there much fanfare? Did he get an invitation to spoon with Keith Olbermann?
