Paul Ryan Says He “Misspoke” About How Fast He Ran A Marathon….By An Hour or So
Boston.com - Republican Paul Ryan now says he didn’t run a marathon in less than three hours as he claimed in a nationally broadcast interview. The vice presidential hopeful acknowledged Saturday he had misstated his marathon time by more than an hour. He released a statement correcting the record after Runner’s World magazine found evidence he had completed one marathon, in 1990, and finished in just over four hours. Ryan told radio host Hugh Hewitt last month he had run a ‘‘two hour and fifty-something’’ marathon. That’s a pace of less than 7 minutes per mile for the 26.2 mile course — extremely fast for recreational runners. Ryan said he should have rounded his marathon time to four hours, not three.
Oh man I love politicians. You misstated your time? No you didn’t bro. You flat lied. It’s like if I shot a 104 in golf and said I shot an 88. Just blatant unadulterated lying. And I love his explanation how in hindsight he should have rounded his marathon time to four hours not 3. Gee ya think? Is that because you ran a 4+ hour marathon? Plus who are you trying to impress anyway? Nobody gives a fuck that you ran a marathon. That’s what squids do. And maybe most importantly I never understand how politicians think they can get away with this shit? They have to know everything they say will be examined and re-examined under a microscope. That’s what makes it even more outrageous. Like of all the things to lie about to say you ran a marathon an hour faster than you really did? The balls on this guy.
Look at Pagviews doing the damn thing per usual. Saw how many comments the Chuck Norris blog got so he’s working in some more political blogs. Well done you fat pasty Jew.
This surprises you? His speech at the RNC literally was lie after lie after lie. It has been checked by impartial fact checking groups, and he is a lying piece of shit, pretty much like every Republican besides Ron Paul
Wow a regular Watergate…
You did this to instigate the political fucktards
Look you get to exaggerate your, fish, run times, bench press, hot chicks fucked, how many beers drunk, shots done, money you make and cock length without any type of serious retribution. Your boys can call you on it, worst case it costs you a round.
Seriously, Pres, start politics.barstoolsports.com, hire a few lefty hacks to write it, and post all the political bullshit there.
Has he been to all 57 states or said his father was in WW II although the Ol’ man would have been aged 9? BTW what is the Capital of Israel?
Pedro, you should check your facts before you start talking about “impartial’ fact checkers you douche

This guy wants to get grants for college students, and used his own fathers death to pay for college through using social security, So to be honest i’m not really surprised that this guy is a liar
I love how people are turning this into a political debate. The guy straight up lied about his marathon time. Whether he’s a Democrat or a Republican is irrelevant. He’s a clown like 98% of all politicians. Wake up and smell the coffee.
I wonder which one of the 57 states he ran it in. Next thing you know he’ll tell us all he’s part Cherokee.
pedrofartinez you are the case in point of why ppl hate liberals.
@hog73 well played
I have no skin in the game but Howz Ur Burger, I can’t believe your using an editorial opinion from a conservative website as your fact source.
your = you’re
Didn’t Obama promise to raise the oceans and save the planet? Didn’t Biden lie about his law school record? Didn’t Elizabeth Warren lie her way into Harvard claiming she’s part Native American? They’re all liars but Democrats = free pass.
Just flat out lied. His explanation is just bullshit. Anyone who has ever run a marathon knows exactly how long it took them. I have run two and when I’m 90 and have dementia, I’ll still know how long it took me to finish each of them. This guy is a handjob.
I’m warning you, Dave! One more political blog and I’ll round up all the barstool Democrats in here and file a grievance with our union shop stewards.
Plus he was beaten by a girl twice his age.

More like Davey Leftviews
I’m with you pedro. Davey loves his political blogs….
Presidential elections are so fucking stupid. If this was any other guy than the Republican VP, it would be kinda funny that he lied about his marathon time in such a ballsy, easily-discovered way. But of course it’s election season, so instead of commenters saying something funny, you get a bunch of boring fucking political comments from stupid assholes who think their opinions matter. As if anyone gives a fuck what you, the Barstool commenter, thinks about politics. Clean it up, Pageviews.
@bukkake: Good call. Not that it matters, but where was El Pres when Dick Blumenthal lied about being a Viet Nam vet? I would threaten to go read brobible instead, but that site’s even worse right now.
Romney & Ryan’s first campaign poster.

Remember when Obama claimed to be a U.S. Citizen?
This is like saying the Blackout shows are 90% sold out when they are really are like 30% sold out, no?
Biden went to UD. True story. He still sucks at politics.
hog73 you’re a fucking retard. there is a difference between lying and misspeaking…obama clearly misspoke and said 57 instead of 47. Ryan clearly was lying when he went from “2 hours and fifty something” to just over four hours. none of it could possibly matter any less in terms of the election, but what does matter is pointing out that you are a giant bag of douche.
Never-mind. @maukstraussity embodies all the qualities of the insufferable left.
NEWS FLASH! A politician that ‘mis-speaks.’ Yawn, what-friggin’-evah.
El Pres’ ignorant political blogs would be more tolerable if he gave equal opportunity to the BS from the left, but its always one sided..Just shows how clueless he really is about this topic…. If I wanted the Huffington Post I wouldn’t be on barstool.
Hey Dixon Sider, if Obama promised to raise the ocean levels then he actually fulfilled his promise, no? Either way, all politicians are clowns and liars. May not have started out that way, but to rise in the ranks of a party you have to get on board or be buried. We elect parties, not individuals, and the party members only care about their own wallets and the wallets of their lobbyists’ interests. If you think they care about you or what they have to say to get your vote, you’re delusional.
Wonder how many blogs we’ll get after this week about Obama and the Dems about how fantastic the economy is coming along. We won’t hear any exaggerated stories this week will we? Nah everthing is great! GREAT!
Enough with the liberal looney tune blogs. Smut and sports is what made your site popular and posting liberal trash while maybe it will get angry comments will turn people off to the site. Create a new Huffington Post if you feel so strongly about Obama but stop filling the site with your left wing agenda big nose.
I’m not into politics or whatever, don’t follow them at all. But Romney and this dickhead seem like the fakest, slimiest, stereotypical politician douchebags on earth.
It actually almost kind of makes me want to take the 20 minutes to go out and actually vote, just to vote against them.
How about the fact that Obama made up that he was a law professor? He was a senior lecturer at Harvard not a professor. I think lieng about what you do for a living is far worse than how fast you ran a marathon but I didn’t see a blog when that little bit of info came out.
wow lying* I should be shot for that.
PS: It’s been several years now that your post times have not worked. Step it up.
All the right-wing retards are having a full-blown conniption here because El Pres has the nerve to call out Lyin’ Ryan. Awesome.
dude is from wisconsin. he can say whatever the f*ck he wants and you’d be wise to just believe it. this country needs more wisconsin. fact.
Howz Ur Burger, i like how your argument in telling pedro to “checking his facts” was a link to an editorial…you fucking dummy
Hey Bradyblowsbelicheat, Obama WAS a law professor at Harvard. Fact. From 92 until his election he served as a professor of the law school. He was a lecturer from 96-04, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior lecturers at Harvard are considered to be members of the law school faculty and are officially regarded as professors, just not full time and not on track for tenure, although he was invited to join full time, several times, but declined. Rush Limbaugh is not an official news source.
I can’t wait for Romney/Ryan to win so we can just push all the poor people (pedrofartinez) that are clogging up the system out of the way and get back to being the America the rest of the world hates but secretly wants to be.
So that’s what squids do? They run marathons? Who knew?
Wow Yukon just wrote an entire paragraph of lies. Congrats bro.
@yukon he was neither a law pforessor or senior lecturer at Harvard he worked at the University of Chicago Law. Step it up pal and actually have some clue before you spill your liberal nonsense. He was an honorary senior lecturer for several lectures over a 12 year period but never ever ever employed by Harvard.
Obama lies: healthcare mandate is not a tax… Scotus voted in as a tax..Registered as an exchange student in Columbia as Indonesian under Barry Soetoro. Fast and furious was a disgusting scandal we don’t have answers for. He’s given loans to failing solar companies and has spend more in 3.5 years then Bush’s 8. All you fuck tards think Bush caused everything… Liberal policies way before him like the community reinvestment act which urged banks to give sub prime mortgages fucke us. Bush red flagged it in 2001 but nothing was done. Bush lost congress in 2006 stil nothing was done.

if you vote for Obama, you are voting for more debt, and more money for people that dont want to do anything except collect money from the gov’t/state. You will also be ensuring your children and their children will be left with nothing but massive debt. A vote for Obama is selfish, as even he said the country is worse off than it was when he started. If you vote for Obama, then fuck you! I can understand 4 years ago but now that you have seen the direction the country is going, you have to be either a leeach of society or a fucking idiot who is too stupid to look at the facts.
