Stating The Bloody Obvious

Headline from Reuters today:

Bush invokes Sept 11 to defend Iraq war

He's only been doing it for four years...

The real story today, of course, in the celebrity-based world of US TV news, is that Bush (who doesn't have time for Cindy Sheehan) went for a two hour bike ride with Lance Armstrong:

Armstrong, 33, called Bush "one competitive dude," but said in the ABC interview he had no doubt he could outpace Bush, even though trails can be challenging for road cyclists unaccustomed to rough, rocky terrain.

"He's a good rider," Bush was said to have remarked about Armstrong after the ride, which featured only one 10-minute break to admire a waterfall on the property.

White House spokesman Trent Duffy said Armstrong was careful to respect "the first rule of biking," a hint that he did not overtake the president.

Duffy said he did not know whether Bush discussed politics with Armstrong, who has spoken out against the war in Iraq...

Lance Armstrong is "a good rider"? Really? Now who says Bush is totally divorced from reality???
