That just goes to show that racing doesn't have jack shiite to do with
mountain biking. The President doesn't race, yet he whipped that
reporter's ass.

It's all a great right wing conspiracy, I tell you - GWB is secretly
racing in the pro ranks under an alias. ;-)

Tells me that the reporter has a job, and the Pres. spends all his time
riding.

320 days of vacation as of that ride in his 5 years in office. Must be nice.

Uh huh... get used to it. Have you noticed that GWB is popping up all
over the country while "on vacation", and continues to hold down a
pretty impressive agenda while "vacationing on the ranch"?

These days it should be pretty obvious that you don't actually have to
be in the office to get anything done (something that I hope would be
obvious to anyone using a computer to opine on a.m.b...). ;-)

I suspect that the trend toward presidents spending less and less time
in the White House will continue - and regardless of their political
leanings, that's not a bad thing (though I'm sure it will continue to
create plenty of internet and blogger fodder, right and left).
