Lance Armstrong vs. Sheryl Crow: George W. Bush to Blame?

The National Ledger ^ | February 12, 2006 | Tina Simms

[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.

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

[Pondman88]

Good for him, he needs a good conservative. Marrying a liberal is no fun.

[in hoc signo vinces]

That's right...EVERYTHING can be blamed on Bush...WTF is the crazy, delusional, left going to do when he leaves office...they'll have to double their meds rather since the outlet to project and deflect their problems on Bush will be gone...

[danbo]

If my memory serves correctly, Crow said that invading Iraq would destroy the World Karma. Good Grief!

[auboy]

Eagles and Crows don't mix.

[tx_eggman]

I heard that Lance decided he'd rather ride his bike ... it had fewer miles on it.

[sweet_diane]

Man...is there ANYTHING that isn't Bush's fault? Not only can he control the weather... he can doom relationships! LOL

Bet he can leap from tall buildings too. :)

[Bosco]

It's hard to soar with eagles when you're flying with turkeys.

[areafiftyone]

Jeeze Bush is such a home wrecker (/sarcasm). Why don't these people get off the "Bush's Fault" bandwagon. It's getting boring and played out!

[Niteranger68]

"NO CROW!"

[GrandEagle]

The 'Bush did it' is classic
Yes, What is not commonly known is that Bush really shot the lawyer on the hunting trip. Chaney is just taking the rap officially.

One thing you can count on, from too many mosquitoes in Mobile county to Hurricane Katrina; is that Bush did it. Unless of course it is good, then Klinton did it and it just took this long to come out.

[bubman]

I slipped on the ice.

It must be Bush's fault!!

//sarcasm off

[Allegra]

Lance probably really just got sick of Sheryl's helium voice and did what's en vigue these days...

....blamed Bush. ;-)

[domenad]

I always maintained Armstrong was way too intelligent a guy to be with an idiot like Crow.

[rhombus]

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

And I thought I had it hard with my inlaws. My wife however is a recovering Democrat and has voted for Bush twice now. She does fault Bush for not being tough enough and not using bigger weapons on terrorists.

[airborne]

I guess he has his choice of women, so why hang out with a brain washed, uninformed one.

He can do better.

[Kerretarded]

Okay. It's official. The word "bushsfault" needs to be added to the dictionary.

Bushsfault - n. def. - Anything bad that happens in the world can be blamed on one man, George W. Bush.

[cchandler]

Awesome graphic. Oh Yeahhhhhhhhh!

[CaptRon]

That's right...EVERYTHING can be blamed on Bush...WTF is the crazy, delusional, left going to do when he leaves office...

They'll either keep on blaming him (after all, Richard Nixon has kept them occupied for 30 years) or find anyone else with the word "Republican" associated with his or her name.

[TexasBeth]

Thank you very much!!!

[tarzantheapeman]

Good for him, he needs a good conservative. Marrying a liberal is no fun.


Unless you can turn them ... then it's great fun.

[Kerretarded]

I heard that Lance decided he'd rather ride his bike ... it had fewer miles on it.

So, I guess he is no longer eating cr....... :)

"Bushsfault - n. def. - Anything bad that happens in the world can be blamed on one man, George W. Bush."

That's right...EVERYTHING can be blamed on Bush...

What do you think of Cheney taking the fall for Bush shooting that guy the other day? -tom

[Allegra]

Meant to say "en vogue..."

My typing sucks.

[Vaquero]

example of odd dichotomy (that I never understood):

[RabidBartender]

I've dated several liberal women since the 2000 elections and they all seemed the same to me: nice up front, but once you got them talking, there was an inherent mean-ness and anger to them. Not just in politics and the President, but in most topics they didn't like.

[gate2wire]

Well, I never liked her but she is kinda good lookin'. So he nailed her for a while.
Now he'll move on to some starlet or stripper in her 20's.
It's good to be the king.

[Physicist]

This comes way too late to save Kevin Gilbert.

</obscure>

[ElPatriota]

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

LOL! I knew Lance could not be such a sissy...He's got too much guts to be a democrat. And alhtouth I liked her, if Sheryl is nothing but a typical lefty, then I am glad the thing is done. They saved themselves a lot of hurt.

Now, let's find him a nice girl. A conservative, gutsy, beautiful Girl. Mrs Coulter is single, Right?

[romanesq]

How right you are. But sometimes a familiar ride with lots of miles can be enjoyable.

But not when it's been someone else's ride. Or many others as in Sheryl's case.
Yes, it's not just a rumor.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

They live for "the game" of politics and revere that over whichever particular side they're on.

That was always my take.

[L,TOWM]

"He turned me into a newt!"

"I got better..."

[carolinacrazy]

I agree it is Bush's fault,

but how did he remove her brain?

[massgopguy]

I heard that there is a nice girl in Texas with three kids that he should pay some attention to on this Valentine's Day.

[Sam Cree]

Is Lance truly a Bush fan, I wonder? I thought I read right here on FR, that he was a Democrat. My neighbor, a good guy, but a rabid Bush hater, is also a rabid Lance fan, never stops talking about how great Lance is. I'd love to find out for sure that Lance likes Bush.

[navynucmom]

I heard that there is a nice girl in Texas with three kids that he should pay some attention to on this Valentine's Day.

Would she still have him? Heard it wasn't all that great when they were together.

[misterrob]

You are truly a blessed individual.....(sniff)

[Kerretarded]

lol

[Joy in the Journey]

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!

[romanesq]

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.

[fortunecookie]

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.

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.

[NRA1995]

Who cares about that stupid ho' Crow anyway?

[Shalom Israel]

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...

[Charles Henrickson]

These things come and go in cycles.

[bubman]

TexasBeth how do you make the image move like that?

BTW that is one of the better images I have seen. OUTSTANDING!! I want to send it out to my Lieberal buddies. Can you help me out?

thxs

[Neville72]

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