So Lance is going scooter riding next week at the ranch....

[Neshanic]

Per "This Week" interview with whoremouse network "Stephy" the intense.

Sorry gang, anyone who is that into being pals with both Kerry and Chimp, has his priorties just plain fucked up.

By the way Lance, have a sit with Cindy maybe? Oh, straddle that bike seat Lance like the fence you sit on now.

He's an athelete, a trophy actress/girlfriend collector, but after that completely full of himself interview...no hero and borderline assclown.

[senseandsensibility]

1. I'm disappointed

Did he mention Cindy, the war, or anything critical of *? Sorry, don't watch the corporate media.

[niallmac]

6. Same here. No TV.

Presume from the posts that Lance is another Wheaties Box athlete who doesn't dare
question the source of his money...I mean doesn't question authority. Don't get me wrong, as an athlete winning the Tour de Lance 350 times or whatever I am in shock and awe in the presence of his accomplishment. If he sucks up to * though, well Lance, athlete extraodinaire, 'on your bike.'

[Mika]

2. And his girlfriend, Cheryl, is hawking Michael Dell's outsourced PCs.

:puke:

[progressivebydesign]

21. I am paying off my Dell account and will never buy another.

I have had it with dealing with outsourced help everytime I have to contact them.. AND it's really crappy outsourced help. I will also tell Dell why I am paying off and closing my account.

[Mika]

25. Here's another big reason not to buy a Dell

Shame on Cheryl Crow for hawking this crap.


Michael Dell's campaign contributions

[bbernardini]

39. She also took credit for the work of Kevin Gilbert and others...

...contributing to his depression, and eventual accidental suicide. I loathe her with the burning-hot fire of a thousand suns.

[katinmn]

3. It will be interesting.

I admire Lance for his athletic achievement but how can he be friends with the giggling murderer?

I'm going to be in Crawford when Lance is there. Wonder if he will take a spin by Camp Casey.

[ugarte]

4. I'm not ready to give up hope on the guy

Like all these sports teams that get invited to the White House after winning a championship, it doesn't mean you support the dumbass's policies.

That said, he should meet with Cindy, too.

[Neshanic]

5. He's going on a personal mountain bike ride with "it".

Can't get more closer than that.

[Kerrytravelers]

24. You simply refuse, like that wounded soldier who told * no.

It would be the easiest decision I ever made.

[kittenpants]

7. I saw on a news feature on Lance that he was interested in politics

and might run for office one day. Does this mean he's a repub or does anyone know? Maybe he's just agreeing to visit * so he can humiliate him by getting him on a bike again! :shrug:

[Lars39]

9. Bushco is co-opting Lance.

What remains to be seen is if Lance will be swayed.

[Horse with no Name]

8. SOooo...Georgie will make time for Lance

but not Cindy?:eyes:

[AlCzervik]

10. i'm truly disappointed by this, bad move Lance.

[Mend]

11. He said he was against the war

but hadn't told codpiece yet. Said he might tell him when they go biking this week but that codpiece doesn't speak while pedaling and is "very competitive" .... Lance intends to win the race. He said the money for war should be used to fight cancer but clearly he is playing cute with party affiliation....

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

13. It doesn't matter his stance, if he does this, the effect is endorsement

of shrub.

[alfredo]

12. Because his agenda is cancer, he cannot alienate anyone. to

anger the man holding the purse strings would be a bad move for the cancer community.

He cannot afford to go to one side or the other and effectively represent people with cancer. Sure, I would love to see him put his pump through the spokes of bush's trike, but that would not serve the needs of those with cancer.

Remember, cancer doesn't ask if you are Republican or Democrat. Lance understands that, and it smart enough to keep his personal politics out of it.

[Squatch]

14. Agreed 100%

[Lars39]

17. And what does that say about the shrub?

That you better darn well cater to his wants, or like a spiteful spoiled child he'll withhold cancer research funds?
Have I missed the part where Lance puts public pressure on this administration to up funding?

[alfredo]

27. That's why Lance is staying non partisan. Bush cannot play

politics without him without looking like a complete heartless ass. He is, but he can redeem himself if he acts honestly on cancer research and funding.

[Lars39]

29. Staying non-partisan would have been Lance declining the invite.

[alfredo]

37. Lance needs allies. Cancer is non partisan.

Snubbing bush would hurt his foundation.

[blm]

40. It's Bono's reasoning, too - feels it's better to influence the meanpricks

instead of sitting back and calling them meanpricks.

I guess I'll do it for them. ;)))))))))

[alfredo]

42. that's our job, let Lance do his.

Anyway, bush doesn't talk when he is riding. From what Lance says, once the warm up ends it is pedal to the metal.

I used to hate training with people like that. You got your long slow distance days, and you have speed work days. Macho assholes push at 100% all the time.

[dooner]

15. I watched the interview

Lance is anti-war, and has said so publicly including during this interview. He said he hasn't discussed it with Bush, but would if he was asked (which doesn't sound likely to ever happen).

He said that when Bush goes mountain biking, he's all business. Doesn't talk, just jumps on his bike and tears off. So, Lance is going riding with him on the ranch next Saturday.

This is fantastic news! Lance Armstron is going to Crawford. Are you kidding me? I do NOT believe he will drive past Cindy and not stop. He's a Texan, and a gentleman, and he does not support the war.

THIS SHOULD BE GOOD NEWS AND POSSIBLY OF HUGE IMPORTANCE.

[0007]

19. We'll find out soon enough what Lance Armstrong is made of..

[dooner]

33. I know...

But I do have hope for Lance. He said during this interview that his role model is Bono! Nothing wrong with that.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

16. Much ado about nothing..............

Lance Armstrong is a seven-time winner of the Tour de France, and arguably the most famous and accomplished athlete in the US today. Is it such a strange occurrence that presidents try to soak a little shine off these celebrities? No.

If we're going to indict Lance for visiting Bush, then we also have to apply the same scrutiny and derision to ALL the sports teams and figures that have visited the president after a major victory. AFAIK, all the WS and Super Bowl champs in recent memory have paid the Pres a visit. Are we going to hold them up to the same scrutiny?

Also, Lance and Cheryl essentially make zero political hay. What I think the real issue here is that folks want to fit their favorite celebs into their own political molds. And just because Lance is visiting Shrubby, and Cheryl's hocking Dell should take away from the fact that Lance has helped out the cause of fighting cancer like no other, and Cheryl has been a pretty outspoken lib.

[Neshanic]

18. Perfect. He should use that "Much ado" when he talks with Cindy

He has passed "triumphant athelete" White House photo Op long ago.

He LIKES this thing. He said so in the interview. They are personal friends, so get with the program. The days of "hanging with the monkey" and not getting monkey shit on you are over.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

23. Thank you for telling me..........

to "get with the program". I was just awaiting your permission to do so.

[Neshanic]

26. Don't mention it.

[Piperay]

38. I agree nt

[mrsadm]

20. He may run for Governor of Texas

Guess he wants to ask W what the job is like

[Catshrink]

22. The upside (?) -- another photo of * falling off his bike.

Does * wear a helmet when he rides? Knee and elbow pads? You'd think Laura would insist he do so.

[Walt Starr]

28. Just an FYI, Bono has been teaching Armstrong how to influence

on an issue.

[Neshanic]

32. Yes, we all know how pliable "it" is. How open to discussion...

he is. Lance the super athelete mind control expert.

"Look into the pretty spinning wheel spokes George".

[zbdent]

30. Look, if Lance wasn't going to turn Repuke to run for office

Don't you think that he would have been painted as a traitor for going to France and competing in the Tour de France?

Take away some things: His Texasnithicity, his friendship with Bush - what do you have?

A guy who left his wife and infant twins to hook up with a trophy girlfriend in the entertainment industry.

A guy who, in the midst of the war, kept going over to FRANCE!

A guy who, apparently, has no job other than riding his bike around.

If he weren't likely to go repuke, his seventh win in the TDF would have been covered in the "boxscores" sections of the newspapers.

[SpiralHawk]

31. Le Tour de Chimp - How charmingly French !

How perfectly lovely. Better warn Lance that Chimp has a crap load of crashes on his road record.

[dooner]

34. Lance is going to visit Cindy, and then give * a piece of his mind

Visualize it. Yes, it's going to be a beautiful thing. I believe!
For goodness sake, Bono is his new role model, what would Bono do?

(Just trying to be optimistic...)

[BeFree]

41. On that vein...

...if I were going to see the president I'd sure as heck go to Camp Casey. Probably last, after I had squeezed the chimp. Then I'd raise hell about the war and pledge thousands of dollars to the Peace cause. But that's just me.

After all, if you are going to do something about human suffering it seems defeating the cancer of war is a priority, eh?

[tanyev]

35. Lance better let him win or there will be a huge temper tantrum.

CRAWFORD, Texas - Standing on the driveway outside his home, President Bush explains the rules for people who go mountain biking with him.

It will be a vigorous workout. It is not a race. And no one, the president says with a smile, is allowed to pass him.

[Bumblebee]

36. He says he is (sort of) against the war -- and will be in Crawford

I hope he will get lots of inquiries as to whether he is planning to be not just a court athlete but also visit with Cindy.

[jmowreader]

43. I don't think you really understand

KKKarl offered Lance $50,000 to teach Bush to ride a bike. He HADDA take him up on it!
