it helps to make some sense out of a senseless i don't know what.
however, if armstrong is hoping to get a favorable ear ($$$$$$) from bush towards cancer research, or help cancer victims programs... he just pedaled down the wrong road. bush will give him no cents.

Still, there is no question that both men have inspired others to take up cycling - Armstrong, through his seven consecutive Tour de France victories, and Bush, through economic policies that have left many jobless and/or unable to afford the steadily rising price of gasoline - and that has to count for something.
That's pretty funny to say that Bush** has inspired folks to take up cycling

Armstrong is using Dubya for his cancer crusade, and Dubya is using Lance to make himself look like less of a heartless prick. End of story.

7. Bush suffers bicycle-related injury |
|
I would imagine riding a bike will be a painful experience for * after VeloNews ripped him a new asshole.
"Still, there is no question that both men have inspired others to take up cycling - Armstrong, through his seven consecutive Tour de France victories, and Bush, through economic policies that have left many jobless and/or unable to afford the steadily rising price of gasoline - and that has to count for something.
"So with that in mind, I'd like to take up another of our letter-writers' concerns and nominate President George W. Bush as the 2005 VeloNews Cyclist of the Year.
Some cynics may quip that unlike his fellow Texan, Dubya has yet to finish one tour, much less win seven, and let me be the first. He didn't even start the Tour of Vietnam, then DNF'd at the Tour of Afghanistan in order to start the Tour of Iraq, a former classic in the British Empire Cup upgraded to quagmire status as the inaugural event in the Pentagon's Regime Change Series. Subsequent events TBD. Film at 11."
