Okay, so he’s delusional, dumb, or dog dump.  Your pick.

Remember when Paul Ryan claimed he could run a three minute mile?  Okay, so I made that up but he did claim he ran a marathon in under 3 hours.  Turns out it was over 4 hours.

Now he’s claiming to have 6% body fat.

It’s those damn tricky numbers again.

According to Iñigo San Millan, a veteran cycling physiologist who has worked with numerous Tour de France teams, the lowest body fat he’s ever measured on a cyclist was 8.3 percent. That’s at peak fitness, racing shape.

The average man has 17 – 24% body fat and even top college age competitive swimmers have over 9%.

And then there’s his mountain climbing.

Also not showing up: any summit shots from Ryan’s claimed 38 trips up Colorado’s 14,000-foot-high peaks, or “fourteeners,” a claim that has also generated skepticism among climbers. In a nutshell, there was confusion over whether Ryan had climbed 40 of the state’s 53 fourteeners, as he seems to have led at least one local politician to believe, or (as a campaign statement later clarified) “almost 40 climbs” up 28 different peaks.

Y’all, I do not mean to be ugly about this or even the least bit tacky, but a man who constantly exaggerates his physical condition might also exaggerate about the size of his …. well, ability to add and subtract.  (No, I am not going to that other thought and neither are you.)

Thanks to David for the heads up.
