cowpoke president.....

ok, so i was not in the least surprised to day to learn that the fraud that dubya continues to seduce the american public with....yeah...i know that there is nothing grammatical about what i just wrote....i invite any and all to rewrite it just so......but i digress.......the truth is...dubya's ranch.....isn't really a ranch...not enough acres......and the cows weren't even his cows......this, from salon.com....We noted that "the presidential-getaway-as-ranch" construct has always been a way "to make a millionaire from Yale look like some kind of workaday cowpoke." The Times says that vacations in Crawford give Bush, "who was born in New Haven, Conn., and schooled at Yale and Harvard," a chance to "remind the nation that he's a Cowboy President."

But if part of being a cowboy involves having something to do with cows, the Times says the president is a few head short of a herd. "There are some guys that are all hat and no cattle," former Texas congressman Kent Hance tells the Times. "The president's not that way; he's hat and five cattle."

Even five may be a stretch. As the Times reports, Kenneth Engelbrecht kept a herd of about 200 cattle on a portion of the property he leased from the Bushes, but Engelbrecht and the Bushes parted ways recently, and Engelbrecht took his cattle with him. The White House is circumspect about how many cattle are in Crawford now. Deputy White House Press Secretary Dana Perino initially told the Times that the president still has "a few" cattle on the ranch. Pressed for details, she said there were "four or five."

ok, so dubya keeps 4-5 cows.....what....for target practice.....4-5 cows won't keep the press corps in burgers for the remainder of the term, and heck...isn't that the point.....to keep us all under the illusion that the c-student yalie is really a working kind of guy underneath his suits.....yeah, right.....4-5 cows.......so are they cows that the guy who was leasing property forgot to take with him.....or maybe madcow-underobservation cattle that the fda doesn't want us to know about.....or maybe iconiclastic elsiethecow models........scary, when one thinks about it.....a cowpoke president with no no cows......
