Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow Break Up Over George W. Bush?

Left Coast report ^

[AgThorn]

As is often the case when celebrity couples part company, there has been an enormous amount of press coverage concerning the Lance Armstrong/Sheryl Crow split.

But the Star is reporting a possible political cause for the engagement halt. There's speculation that the root of the rift may have to do with President Bush.

No, Crow doesn't have a crush on the prez. Quite the contrary. The singer has been public about her opposition to Bush's policies.

Many of us have a less than fond remembrance of her highly visible, much discussed "War Is Not the Answer" T-shirt.

Well, it turns out that Armstrong is actually a Bush backer. The famed cyclist went biking with the commander in chief last summer.

According to a friend of Crow, Armstrong was a Bush backer to the max.

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

The Left Coast Report says, Poor Sheryl, how will she ever find someone who shares her hatred of Bush in a place like Hollywood?

[AgThorn]

... why they ever got together in the first place is beyond me. Go Lance

[Echo Talon]

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

Well, he is the Commander & Chief and if he asked anyone to fight I think its your duty.

[Cagey]

why they ever got together in the first place is beyond me.

He found her voice irresistible.

[YourAdHere]

Sheryl who??

[edpc]

Hmmmm.....just another example of the phony tolerance of the left.

[Poser]

It's Bush's fault. Funny.

[Thebaddog]

Can you just imagine the PC weenie that she's going to end up with?

[steve8714]

At least she didn't take his last good one.

[USS Alaska]

She hates America.

Lance loves America. Case closed. He'll get another woman.

[Finalapproach29er]

Anybody seen polling regarding gender and the war?

Are women much more against the war?

[maggief]

Isn't Alec Baldwin available?

;-D

[BookaT]

Didn't there used to be some rules here on FR?

You know something to do with pictures.

[manwiththehands]

Been there and done that. Twice. I used to think couples who argued over politics were allowing differences in opinion between idiots in Washington to dictate the terms of a relationship between two people. But now I realize it's all about "values". Libs and Conservatives have two diametrically opposed sets of values. When all is said and done, when you get past the romance and good times and physical attraction you still can't have a real relationship between two people who are so different from each other at such a basic level.

[AgThorn]

You mean the rule that if you talk about a 'babe', regardless of her politics, you have to post her picture? (Or does that only apply to Ann Coulter, our poster girl?) Oh well, just in case ...

Oh, you are talking about another rule?

[SShultz460]

Even 40+ and a lib to boot, I'd hit it

[numberonepal]

She's a Penn Stater: cool uniform - ugly helmet.

[DollyCali]

Finally! now we can get him at the singles thread to find a good woman. As an avid cyclist, I would get in line except he is my son's age!

I suspect there was more than this one issue of GWB.. but it is part of the overall difference of lib vs conservative. NOW he is a full time dad & interested in home values(which the pubbies embrace). Like many relationships when the gilt is pulled back & the essentials are there remaining --- well it is accounting time

Good for Lance & God Bless his future.

[AZRepublican]

Why not set up Lance with Ann??? :-)

[adorno]

This must be the ultimate of insults!

A man would leave a babe like Sheryl because of another man?!?!

[jetson]

" Please forgive me...I am a liberal therefore I have a mental disorder..."

[deport]

At least offer the boy something with some meat on the bones....

[ASA Vet]

Or does that only apply to Ann Coulter, our poster girl?

Actually that rule started as the "Anna K rule" and was revised to include to Ann.

Since that the rule was revised and you brought up Ann, you are now obligated to post her photo, not some ugly liberal as you did.

Also recognizing that I've mentioned Anna, I am thusly obligated to post a photo of her. I meet my obligations.

[sgtbono2002]

Lance did the right thing with a Bush backer. Screwed her and moved on.

[sgtbono2002]

Should read "Lance did the right thing with a Bush Basher Screwed her and mover on."

Some typos are really bad.

[CheneyChick]

Try and figure this one out.....

[longshadow]

"There's speculation that the root of the rift may have to do with President Bush."

One need not look as far as politics to find the likely cause. Anyone who knows anything about the effect of extensive long-term bicycle riding on the functionality of the male anatomy can come up with a more likely explanation.

To put it bluntly, for males, performance in the saddle almost always translates into a lack of performance in the sack. Urologists say it's not a question of whether or not dysfunction will occur, only when.

[dc-zoo]

That's one I'll never understand.

[ConservativeGreek]

Are women much more against the war?

At Rasmussen Bush support is always over 50% male and just over 40% female.

[elmer fudd]

So you're saying that Lance has been having to eat a lot of Crow lately?

[texasbluebell]

Lance's mother is conservative. Lance didn't fall far from the tree.

[ExcursionGuy84]

Her eyes look a little hollow & glassy. Not trying to be critical, just giving my opinion.

[deport]

Lance's mother is conservative.

Interesting... I've never seen anything on her political leanings. She was successful in the business enviornment and apparently was a hard worker. She definitely put Lance and his training at the top of her list it seems.

[cowboyway]

Mary Matalin was on MTP this morning with that White House press reporter, a WSJ writer and Maureen Dowd discussing the Cheney incident.

Matalin was responding to something Dowd said and referred to her as the "diva of the smart set".

I damn near fell out of my chair.

[texasbluebell]

She mentioned it in her book which came out in the past year or so.

[texasbluebell]

Interesting read (she had a very tough early life):

[manwiththehands]

I won't even go there ... could never understand Carville/Matlin, Schwarzenegger/Kennedy ...

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

Uncle Fester and Melissa Etheridge?

[longshadow]

So you're saying that Lance has been having to eat a lot of Crow lately?

In as much as they are going their separate ways, I would conclude that's something he probably hasn't been doing!

But it was a very insightful observation....

[Goodgirlinred]

I was just wondering, didn't he dump his wife, who had stood by him throughout his career and cancer, for this little tramp?

[Goodgirlinred]

I am a woman and I am not against the war.

[AgThorn]

Yeah, I had to look for a good pic ... I think Lance can do much better in the looks department with a good lookin' right wing babe, let alone have something upstairs to talk to.

[AgThorn]

I was just wondering, didn't he dump his wife, who had stood by him throughout his career and cancer, for this little tramp?

If that's true, shame on him ... sad - any confirmations out there?

[AgThorn]

Can't ... have no idea what the left see if anything in this bald buffoon. Is the lady on his left a joint 'lefty' reporter with him or are you implying they are a 'number'?

Hey, while I got you on a thread, I caught this picture on the monthly freepers finest, and that you are in somewhere and the caption threw me .. it stood out since it was in the same collage with my two boys.

Are you the person in fatiques in the fox hole? That is what I was reading from the caption provided.

[Finalapproach29er]

You can retain your voting privileges then.

just kidding

[dfwgator]

Only Bruce Willis and Demi Moore were a more politically mismatched couple.

[CheneyChick]

Yep! It's an oldie, tho.

[Dashing Dasher]

Can you just imagine the PC weenie that she's going to end up with?

Interesting point...

You can either have a manly man who supports Bush and the WOT ...or... you get a wussie PC weenie like Alec Baldwin - who still hasn't left the country after repeated threats promises.

I'll take the manly man - thanks!

[Goodgirlinred]

LOL! Gee, thanks.

[Goodgirlinred]

He should go back to his wife.
