Well, the New York Post are nothing if not predictable. But even for them, their report on Lance Armstrong's decision to compete for France instead of the U.S. in the upcoming Olympics is particularly shrill and asinine. Calling him "Benedict Arnold Armstrong" and "Weasel on Two Wheels," the Post delivers the story with its usual tact. I only wish I had a scan of the Post's printed cover, featuring the picture above with a beret and mustache crudely drawn over it. I am somewhat disappointed by Armstrong's decision, but this brand of reporting is truly pathetic, even for the Post. They seem to be the only ones keeping the "Freedom Fries" mentality alive. Does anyone else still hate the French this much (for non-personal reasons, that is)? I mean, this type of flag waving is so 2003.
