Lance Armstrong on Letterman tonight....will they talk politix?

[Gabi Hayes]

will they mention his guest, John Kerry?

will they mention the fact that his GF is a huge dem?

will they mention his statement, ignored by the MSM (except USA Today), regarding all the money being spent on the war, money that could have been so much better spent on things like, oh, say, cancer research?

10. didn't mean to sound disappointed, but I can't help it. check this:

from USA Today story, linked earlier by somebody here

Armstrong, a member of the President's Cancer Panel since 2002, says "we have the smartest people in the world" working on cures, so his role is to get the funds to keep that research alive.

"Funding is tough to come by these days," he says. "The biggest downside to a war in Iraq is what you could do with that money. What does a war in Iraq cost a week? A billion? Maybe a billion a day? The budget for the National Cancer Institute is four billion. That has to change. It needs to become a priority again.

"Polls say people are much more afraid of cancer than of a plane flying into their house or a bomb or any other form of terrorism. It is a priority for the American public."
