Ari Gold — And Burgundy

The DC Examiner’s stunningly fantastic gossip column Yeas and Nays has this item today:

Rumors had been swirling in New York recently that former Bush press flack Ari Fleischer would challenge newly elected Rep. John Hall, D-N.Y., for Congress next year.
But Fleischer put those rumors to rest in a “Shermanesque” e-mail to the New York Observer that took a gratuitous shot at the Redskins.
“I do want you to know that I am NOT running,” wrote Fleischer to the paper’s Josh Benson. “Now that I have children, I would never do anything that could risk making them into Redskin fans.”

Pity.  So disloyal to his former boss.  The below photo with Redskins legendary cornerback was taken when Fleischer was Bush’s press secretary.
