Here is The Real Tour de Crawford:
Enough! Full Stop! How about some fiery populist T-shirts:
The REAL Tour de Crawford
There is one jpeg photo making the “tour de media” from the bucolic 17 mile bike ride Lance took with W thru a field of sunflowers. The jpeg is an official WH released photo.
BTW, Lance, don’t hawk your sodden anti-war message with me, people like you give Bush and his pro-fundie, anti-science, pro-ID in the classrooms, anti-stem cell research, pro-snowflake, &c. policy messes cover.
The rest of the imagery from the ride is exclusive to Team Discovery Channel who are partners with Lance and have an upcoming, oh, let’s call it a splash on him. Frankly, (full disclosure) he bores me. In San Francisco we are full to the gills with the aftermath of Republican policy and death. Thankfully Lance survived, but it is only a chapter…. Those who do not survive also fought that very fight. Cancer, AIDS, worsening infant mortality, it is all part and parcel of political policy and a mess of a health care system.
Much more deserving of a salute than the WH games of cute T-Shirts (embargoed imagery as well, it seems) for Lance, who serves (and was just renamed) on the president’s Cancer Panel and appears in ads for Glaxo Smith Kline, much more deserving is Cindy and Camp Casey I and II. The T-shirts gifted to Lance from W read “Tour de Crawford” on the front and “Peloton One” on the back. Lance (and fellow cyclers) got red white and blue socks with the presidential seal on the inside ankle. Lance needs socks.
Lance and entourage also had lunch and pool time with the president. I call that a very full day.
Cindy got the ditch (after she BUSSED to Crawford from Dallas on the 6th) and fire ants. Murderous Texas summer heat. Pouring rain (camped in a ditch remember), shots into the air, a mad truck with chains and pipes across the tribute crosses that were brought in from the Arlington West beach memorial by driving thru the night to Crawford… and not least, Hadley, that tired prick sent out — probably drenched in DEET — in courtier style, to tell her to go away.
And the spewing hatred of the various and sundry degenerates from Dana Milbank (please get a real reporter’s life, Dana, we know you can do it) to Drudge to Novakula to George Will to Limbaugh. Both Milbank and Limbaugh labeled her “LaRouchie”, Dana fig leafed himself by inserting a “?”, meanwhile Garance on TAPPED was taken in by Dana…but later she was with Arianna on MSM and Cindy… go figure!, it seems elective punditry is an attractive, multi-dimensional ditch. While there is no Texas heat, no fire ants, no pouring rain, the MSM have each other, all in their special ditch.
I swear to god what is stuck in their throats is the word: PROTEST. And Cindy does not hesitate to call BushCo, singly and all, LIAR.
A critically ill mother, she is still there (last I heard, due back by mid week this week) in Crawford. Even before the vision of Crawford, she planned with Buddy Spell and his wife a Peace Train vigil, to ride on the Crescent from New Orleans, thru stop after stop in the Deep South, to DC for the 9/24 demonstrations.
The South, the West, the East and the far corners of this country DO NOT BELONG TO BUSH.
Cindy Sheehan is The Real Tour de Crawford.
And a blazing, righteous Croix de Guerre goes to her and her cohorts. Better than socks from Bush….
