For a time we westerners seemed impressed by the tilt of the Bush Stetson. Then we learned that his "ranch," purchased just in time for his 2000 presidential campaign, doesn't have a single horse or cow. Real cowboys have cows. What they don't have are unscuffed, tailor-made boots with embossed insignias; they don't swagger, aren't bullies, and try not to start brawls they can't win. And they never declare "mission accomplished" until the other guy hollers quits.
Yep, Bush is in trouble here in the Rockies. He's earned it. |
