john kerry

ok, so we were pleasantly surprised, part-way through the taped coverage of stage 20's time trial around st. ettienne....that senator and former presidential candidate john kerry was in attendence.......he is a good friend of armstrong, and had flown over to be there for the end of the tour......the oln interview with kerry was precious.......he admitted to watching last year's tour in the same taped/ffthroughcommercials venue that we prefer.......all through his campaign stops last july........he was savvy enough with oln coverage to quip that he started to include bob roll's hand gestures in his stump speeches.....such an articulate guy.....when asked to comment on armstrong's likely venture into politics......he spoke of armstrong's story and how well that will resonate with voters........and said that he would be a staunch supportor.....as long as he chose the right party......he should have said correct party....but i digress........too bad we couldn't have a president like kerry.....who somehow managed a 12 minute interview without somebody to feed him the answers.......ah well.......
