03/28/2003 Archived Entry: "Lance Armstrong on the war"

ANOTHER ADDITION TO THE AXIS OF COOL: Cyclist Lance Armstrong today came out in support of U.S. President George W. Bush and the war in Iraq.

"What I will say, and have said many times, is that NOBODY wants a war. Not me. Not President Bush. Not Tony Blair. No one... but sometimes it may be unavoidable. I absolutely support the President and absolutely support our troops. Enough on this..."

First Wayne Gretzky, then Tiger Woods. Who's the next athlete to become a member? I also wonder what Lance's reception will be like the next time he participates in the Tour de France.
