Armstrong Can't Lose Tour de France --- Should Try Politics

Three Cheers for Lance Armstrong. The Tour de France is all but won.

Looks like our pal John Kerry is still trying to find ways to get his name in the papers. If he isn't naming CIA agents, he's promoting candidates for the opposition. No wonder he can only win in Massachusetts.

Lance Armstrong would be a formidable campaigner.

Sen. John Kerry thinks Lance Armstrong would make a terrific politician -- but fears he'd be running for the other party.

Watching Armstrong during his warmup for Saturday's time trial, the Democrat from Massachusetts listed the Texan's winning qualities.

``What's made him so special at the Tour de France, and as an athlete, is the level of focus, discipline, intelligence, strategic ability, and obviously, his endurance -- his ability to just take it on and go,'' Kerry said.

'Course Armstrong is good pals with GWB, so that couldn't do the Democrats any good.

Who is John Kerry? I don't know that name anymore.. it has been flushed out of my mind.

seriously, he should just continue walking into the reality of total irrelevance.

Besides being a sitting senator from a rather important state? Why no-one should know who is john kerry a-tall.

Obviously you didn't detect the sarcasm in my post. I could care less about John Kerry right now. He's not important to me.

Besides being a sitting and rather senior senator, of which there exist, oh, about a 100. They are fairly important. Calling them 'irrelevent' is a bit silly, especially someone who is rather high up in the party.

He's not important to me, period. I'm saying his voice is politically irrelevant right now. I could care less what you think.

Ignorance isn't a crime, I must admit.
