#1 you just know John Kerry's curled up in his biking spandex in a dark corner, moaning "that should've been me....Mummy T...."

Bush, 59, took up mountain biking after a knee injury forced him to give up jogging a couple of years ago. But he has taken a few well-publicized spills, including one in Scotland last month when he collided with a police officer.

Lance, of course, has *never* fallen from his bike.

The press should be shot.

#3 Article: But some of his critics view his exercise obsession as an indulgence that takes time away from other priorities.

Reuters reporters apparently do. But they have nothing to say about Clinton's fellatio obsession, which may also have taken time from other priorities, not to mention Clinton's long meandering jogs at a snail's pace.

#5 Armstrong has said he believes the money could be better spent on other things, such as fighting cancer.

How about the the money spent on Liberal radios (stolen from ghetto kids) and on Democratic (un)thinkingtanks.

#7 JFM:
While Lance may have some daft ideas, I don't recall his having any big press conferences or joining some Moronic Convergence. As long as he isn't using his celebrity to push his views on others, I don't really care.

I believe Steven King, who holds some rather extreme views, when asked about the war, said "Who cares what my opinion is? I'm a novellist. Why ask me?"
