The one thing Bush got from Kerry was the idea that nobody wants to be the last one to die for a mistake. Bush's solution to that is to persist in making the mistake, then, nobody will ever be the last to die.

If True.. tis sad indeed.. Lets hope his ride with the President does not tarnish them both. Tour Chief Says Armstrong Owes Explanation By ANGELA DOLAND, Associated Press Writer PARIS - The director of the Tour de France claims Lance Armstrong has "fooled" the sports world and that the seven-time champion owes fans an explanation over new allegations he used a performance-boosting drug. Tour director Jean-Marie Leblanc's comments appeared in the French sports daily L'Equipe on Wednesday, a day after the newspaper reported that six urine samples provided by Armstrong during the '99 Tour tested positive for the red blood cell-booster EPO. "For the first time — and these are no longer rumors, or insinuations, these are proven scientific facts — someone has shown me that in 1999, Armstrong had a banned substance called EPO in his body," Leblanc told L'Equipe. "The ball is now in his court. Why, how, by whom? He owes explanations to us and to everyone who follows the tour. Today, what L'Equipe revealed shows me that I was fooled. We were all fooled."
