So the Tour de France is FoxNews's top story

Why - because Americans have beaten the French again?

Jesus Christ!

1. They have to wave that nationalism flag every chance possible
Whereas if you actually watched the race you can see country loyalites were NOT a factor in the race, Floyd or anyone else did not race that way. Floyd even rides for a European team, not the US Team Discovery.

2. Did they repeat what he said about Bush?
Or are they politely ignoring that comment?

Landis is an AMAZING athlete! His performance was fantastic, Fox's usual excess and agendas notwithstanding. I would have to give that to any winner of that incredible event.

5. It is amazing but a top story? Israel is at war with Lebanon, we are occ-
upying Iraq and Afghanistan - you see where I'm going with this.

7. It's Fox. They're dickweeds.
Still, I'm happy for Landis and proud that an American won the tournament. I think it's great to see this country be competetive in international events. That's healthy for us.

11. Man, I'm in awe of anybody who wins it.
I don't ride, but my spouse does. (endurance and commuting for years.) It's only because of him that I followed any of it, but-- wow!

9. Huh?
Edited on Sun Jul-23-06 04:32 PM by chill_wind
Fox News are zealous morons. NOTHING new there.

And if you're not a fan of the Tour, fine. Most Americans paid little interest to it for years. But this reductionism-- ie "bicycle safety". Come on.

10. If they're so big into cycling, they should interview Landis.
The guy who said he'd hang up on Bush if he called to congratulate him.
