Lance Armstrong vs. Sheryl Crow: George W. Bush to Blame?
The National Ledger ^ | February 12, 2006 | Tina Simms

Posted on 02/14/2006 6:16:50 AM PST by mcg2000

Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow have said all the right things so far as the speculation for their break shifts gears. One tabloid even examines that it may be President George W. Bush's fault as Lance is a Bush fan while Sheryl is a Bush basher.

The Star details that a friend of the singer said they knew the bust up was coming.

"Sheryl said Lance didn't just support Bush, - he'd go off and fight if the President asked him too.

Bush and Armstrong in Aug 2005

Recall Crow sported a "War is not the answer," tee-shirt last July and Lance answered by biking with Bush in August of 2005. (photo left)

Other theories from Keeping Tabs:

--"Lance dumped her," Us says plainly, and most of the tabs agree.

--InTouch says the cyclist has tried to end the relationship four times since September.

--The Enquirer says he's always had cold feet.

***

The 'Bush did it' is classic. Some folks will blame Bush for anything.

If I didn't love my already-conservative husband so much, I'd go after Lance in a minute.

Those jokes about eating Crow? Too funny and clever--THANKS!

You know this was one of the only times I felt bad to hear such news.
Even though I don't know them, I felt bad for both them and their kids.

Made me remember my disappointment when I was younger on another case.
That was when I got word that Pele was divorcing his wife.

I remember the exact same feeling of disappointment.

LOL, I had forgotten about the timing of that ride. I'll bet Sheryl was steamed, the very idea that Lance would ride with Dubya, even if they disagreed on politics! I think, unlike the other 'blame Bush' garbage, this one might have some merit, and that's a good thing.

Sort of hard to marry a rabid Bush hater when you like guy.

Actually, I think it would be extremely easy if you like guys. Most folks of that persuasion are rabid Bush haters...

Yep, Lance definitely needs something to ride with less miles on it.

He could go back and try his original wife, the one who nursed him through his cancer....

I married a liberal school teacher 10 years ago. As I had already owned several businesses she began to see from the inside that "Business is the only source of jobs and taxes" and "Personal responsibility is the best thing to learn and then teach".

Now, I almost have to keep a chain on her as she wants to attack what she used to defend.

Of her teacher friends it is surprising how many are conservative but afraid to speak out. The liberal ones accuse her of turning for the money, which infuriates her more.

BUT --- I can't ever say I "Trained her", she just caught on to what was really going on and NOW I even get to learn a few things about conservatism from her.

I was just thinking that. Bro needs to step up, get his head out of his butt and reconcile with his wife and kids. He's a winner. IMO that is what a winner would do.

It's like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Everything can be related to Pres. Bush, probably in three degrees or less.

"Marrying a liberal is no fun."

Heck , they are lots of fun. Every time I turn on the news the wife and I always start jawing. Can't get much more fun than winning all those arguments every night.

She does fault Bush for not being tough enough and not using bigger weapons on terrorists.

It's funny that during all the press' crowing about the President's poll numbers (PS: Who cares? He doesn't, can't, run for reelection anyway) no one seems to mention that a main reason they're down is disappointment among conservatives over border policy, spending that would make a drunk sailor blush, and his (and his party's) pandering to the usual set of "interest" (me! me! me!) groups.
