WTF? Bush seeks a conservative to replace cyclist Lance Armstrong.
Link

July 26, 2005 - Moments after seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong announced that he was retiring from competitive cycling, the White House served notice that it intended to replace him with a cyclist who shares President George W. Bush's conservative political views.

---------------------

How the fuck do they intend to "replace him"? The Discovery Channel team is a privately-funded venture that does not answer to the WH. The arrogance of this asshole is astounding.
