Daily Dose

Comedy Central's The Daily Show did some "reporting" on this year's Tour. Among the gags:
* A rebuttal to Armstrong's It's Not About the Bike book authored by his bike and called, F*** You, Lance.
* Jon Stewart: "During his post-win speech, he said to the non-believers of cycling, 'I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles.' And then, Lance Armstrong reached into his shorts and pulled out a unicorn!"
*Correspondent Rob Corddry appeared live from France to announce that, with Armstrong's retirement from the sport, "Americans will never have to care about cycling again."
* Corddry also reported that Armstrong's Disco team will continue to help him during his retirement, with Big George and Beltran on homework, Padrnos as au pair, and Savoldelli and Rubiera handling "relations" with Sheryl Crow. "It's a team sport, Jon. Come on! The guy's got one ball!"
