Bush gives Armstrong a "Tour de Crawford" t-shirt. How CUTE!
:sarcasm:

WACO, Texas — It's no yellow jersey, but President Bush on Saturday presented Lance Armstrong with another shirt to show off his biking experiences — a red, white and blue T-shirt emblazoned "Tour de Crawford."

The leader of the free world and the world's biking master rode for 17 miles on Bush's ranch for about two hours at midmorning. Bush showed Armstrong the sites of the ranch that he calls "a little slice of heaven," including a stop at a waterfall midway through the ride.

They were accompanied by a small group of staff and Secret Service agents and a film crew from the Discovery Channel, Armstrong's Tour de France sponsor, which had exclusive media access for the ride. Footage was shot for a program on Armstrong to air next week.

Neither Bush nor Armstrong spoke to reporters, although White House spokesman Trent Duffy said the president was impressed with the seven-time champ's skills. "Recognizing what the world has known for years, the president said, 'He's a good rider,"' Duffy said.

5. I still give him the benefit of doubt
He's trying to get money for cancer research. I'll assume this is the reason he keeps appearing "friendly."

Also, apply this answer if some knuckle-dragger comes gloating about it.

7. Did Lance give him lessons on "how not to fall off your bike?"
Edited on Sat Aug-20-05 03:05 PM by glarius
For an adult to fall off a bicycle 3 times in such a short space of time....must be some sort of record!...Maybe that can be Bush's "legacy"!
