Lance, YES | Gold Star Moms & Dads, NO --> The Heartless President >>>


President Yuppiefuck. President Who Cares What You Think. The Frivolous President. The Coward of Crawford.

plug of his radio device in July 2005.

Armstrong Prepares for Ride With Bush
By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer Fri Aug 19,10:39 PM ET

CRAWFORD, Texas - It's not clear whether Lance Armstrong will have to abide by the standard rules for biking with President Bush when the two famously competitive Texans take their first ride together Saturday. The first rule: Don't pass the president.


"Do not force the president too hard," Bush instructed a handful of journalists who rode with him last weekend. "Be kind."

***

Still, Armstrong told ABC's "This Week" last Sunday that he hears the president is "one competitive dude."

"There's no talking" on rides with Bush, Armstrong said he's heard from friends who've ridden with Bush.

raced back to California to visit her ailing mother, other parents of
U.S. soldiers recently killed in the middle east have rallied
together for her cause, to meet with President Bush in an effort to
change his war policy. (Jason Reed/Reuters)

3. Walter Mitty isn't big on meeting reality- and Sheehan is reality.
Armstrong allows Bush Mitty to continue the fantasy...

4. He refers to himself as "The President"
"Do not force the president too hard," - what a loser. I wonder what the people who really run this administration call him when he's not around.
