Re: Lance's "I have no wife" comment...

I agree that it sounded cold BUT if I remember correctly, he was speaking to someone with a limited command of English. That women sounded like she was only speaking on a redimentary level. The more nuanced word of "divorced" may have made no sense to her and, instead of taking the extra time to explain it when she said "What does 'divorce' mean?" he went with the direct, linguistically simple answer. That may very well have been a comment that meant nothing but when played over the air it comes off as incredibly callous. With the exception of the characteristic "Ahhhh" after ANY ride Lance seems to be a "conserver of words". Long explanations don't seem to be his thing. I think he just took the direct approach and wasn't even thinking of the cameras.

Does anyone know any solid details of the divorce? Is it possible Kik started it? Has it been coming for a while? It may be that the lvoe went out a long time ago and Lance's hooking up w/ CC kind of comes after a few years of emotional detachment as opposed to shortly after a emotional divorce for so many others...
