Mr. president, You Are Not a Cowboy Bush's Phony Image As Crawford Rancher Rate Topic:

crawfor, texas. scene of a stand off between a grieving mother and the president, who is vacationing at his texas ranch, which is really a 10,000 sq foot single level mansion.

some people think cindy sheehan is a phony, exploiting her son's death to make a political statement. but who is the real phony in crawford?

truth is, bush never set foot on his crawford ranch until he decided to run for president in 1999. before 1999 he was just an elitist hob nobbing with other dallas and austin elitists at exclusive hunting lodges. no doubt, karl rove shrewdly orchestrated bush's image makeover from oilman to ranch hand.

bush's quickly conjured cowboy image is more evidence that all you bush supporters have been thoroughly manipulated and duped. how easily he had all of you thinking he was more at home in the texas countryside than in the murky world of the powerful politicians.

yee hawww!

This one has to take the cake! You lefties seriously beleive he built a ranch just for image? All this while calling him a dumb monkey?

I guess the truth wouldn't be anything like he picked the land for the ranch in 1999 after he made money from the sale of the baseball team so he would have a place close to the Texas capital to call home?

When the ranch was starting to be designed, Bush had 3 requests. A king size bed, a good shower and some comfortable chairs on the porch. Now those are the requests of a "austin elitist!"

Look out on this one! It just can't be. Bush can't have a concern for the environment!

The ranch is solar powered and has a geothermal hvac system. It also reuses waste water from the house and the rain ruoff to irragate the landscaping.

What takes the cake is him calling himself a cowboy. And the best part is his excuses makers are falling for it.

What kind of loon clears brush in the midday August heat? Even if it is for a few hour photo op? Bet the AC is full blast in the pickup.

Thank God we have the original gentleman Cowboy: Ronald Reagan!
Just like LBJ, it is possible to be a rancher and have clean fingernails. What this would have to do with anybody leading the country is beyond me, but heck you guys are having to dig pretty deep these days.

CRAWFORD, Texas (CNN) -- Anti-war protesters outside President Bush's ranch here were startled Sunday by gunshots fired by a Texas rancher frustrated by the group's presence.

"Well, I'm getting ready for dove season," Larry Mattlage, 62, told reporters of the shots fired around 10 a.m. (noon EDT). Asked if there was an underlying message to the shots, which he fired harmlessly into the air, Mattlage told a reporter, "Figure it out for yourself."

Well at least the neighbor isn't a city slicker! "DOVE season!?" He's not too stupid either.

Trust me, they (the factionalized Democrats) won't even be able to get anywhere near the same page. Might want to publish a cookbook!

New Haven, Connecticut-born George W. Bush is afraid of horses. Don't know too many cowboys who could have survived with a horse phobia...

Ever see Midnight Cowboy? Bush's play acting as a cowboy always brings to mind Jon Voight's character in that movie.

I know cowboys and Mr. Bush you are NOT a cowboy. In fact, you are a laughing stock among many of the real ones.

When he looks at the camera, don't he have to dumbest looks on his face....like hes constipated or something.

Cowboy......maybe that's what he should do with his life and find someone else to do the job he should be doing.

Republican senate hopeful Jeanine Pirro said yesterday she would decide "case by case" whether to return several campaign donations linked to the mob.
Pirro, the Westchester District Attorney, was responding to a Daily News story revealing that six donors with ties to organized crime have written nearly $12,000 in campaign checks to her since 2003.

He declined to elaborate, but told The Associated Press that he believed the information about the donations had been "leaked" by someone in the camp of the woman Pirro will try to unseat next year, Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton.

The News obtained the information from campaign, court and other records and had no contact with Clinton or any of her aides in drafting the story.

Note the typical republican tactic of attempting to deflect by accusing someone of "leaking" in the Clinton camp.
