Showing Original Post only (View all)Paul Ryan narrowly misses bomb on 3rd lap of Marathon [View all]
Well-known ultra marathoner Congressman Paul Ryan, was just past the finish line on his third lap of the Boston Marathon this afternoon. Mr. Ryan was unharmed, although it is not clear from early reports whether it was his third or fourth lap of the day.
Joining him was former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin who was there for "this wonderful commemoration of Paul Revere running into town with his bells and guns to warn the British that the rebels were gonna come get 'em!"
