With his good ol’ folksy conversation style, manly swagger, adventures in brush-clearing, and tendency to use phrases like “smoke ‘em outta their holes,” you’d be forgiven if you thought our Texan president was a macho, gun toting cowboy. Unfortunately for Middle America, former Mexican President Vicente Fox says President Bush’s act is as fraudulent as Larry the Cable Guy’s. There’s some irony in the fact that a guy named Fox is exposing Bush for what he really is.
Mr. Fox derided Bush as a “windshield cowboy” and “the cockiest guy I have ever met in my life”. President Bush often shares tales with the media for his love of shooting doves and cutting brush on the Crawford, Texas ranch, which he purchased in 1999. The ranch is reported to have no horses and only five cattle.
Fox personally recalls a meeting in Mexico shortly after both men were elected when he offered Bush a ride on his palomino horse. Bush started “backing away” from the animal. “A horse lover can always tell when others don’t share our passion,” Fox said. While the revelation that George Bush is a phony might not be a revelation at all, this story does make the following video from several years ago even more hilarious. Enjoy.

I used to like Bush, and I used to like the Cable Guy, and I used to be a conservative, (now I’m pretty much a libertarian). And I’ve owned my share of horses. This is just more of what I can expect from the right, sadly. Not that the left doesn’t have its share of pandering carpet baggers.

How come you are the only media publishing the text of Ahmadinejad recent speech at Columbia? And why doesn’t it open?

I was impressed with Ahmadinejad’s speech at Columbia. He descried materialism, hedonism and violence. He pleaded for world nations to listen to one another. And seek God. He seemed humble, serious and caring. He apparently gave nutty responses to some trivial taunts re homosexuality & the Holocaust. Should this be reason to dismiss him as crazy?
