George at the rodeo can't tell COWS from BULLS!!

[grasswire]

I guess this explains a few things:

"He patted some of gigantic Brahman cows on the head and joked: "I thought there was a lot of bull in Washington, D.C." (As Maura Reynolds so delicately put it in the Los Angeles Times, he said this "despite the gender of the cattle in question.")"

snip

In his pool report, Richard W. Stevenson of the New York Times also described a little banter between Bush and the press.

"At one point, as he patted one of the cows on the head, the president turned to one of our wire service colleagues (a male) and remarked, "Reminds me of you." He did not elaborate. A moment later, another cow jerked its head up as the president reached out to give it a pat, perhaps suggesting it had had enough of being a prop."

1. Bbbbut, I thought

he was a plain-speakin', old fashioned, good ol' Texas cowboy. :eyes:

4. He's better suited to driving a coach...

2. As they say in Texas, All Hat - No Cattle

3. I sure wish he'd go to

the World Dairy Expo, and someone would put him up to milking a... "cow", if ya catch my drift... :evilgrin:

8. What a great campaign photo-op!

[tom_paine]

5. Man, if only the press had as much guts as that cow!

When are they going to jerk their heads up in defiance of being used as a prop?

[oldcoot]

6. Smart cow

Do you ever get the feeling that animals do not like Bush?

[Vickers]

9. Really! It's like in "The Omen"...

...and the animals are scared of Damien, and the apes start climbing all over the car.

Aw man, now I'm having a brainstorm: we HAVE to get the presidential motorcade to take a swing through Lion Country Safari.

11. animals can tell

I have noticed that his dogs act oddly around him. They seem to hang back and not interact with him. Not like any dogs I've ever known.

7. Bigtime cowboy rancher ... jeeeez!

All cattle - No hat

[Carolina]

10. some cowboy ...

doesn't know the difference between a dick and the dickless. Guess because he's a dickless dick (translation: a chickenshit chickenhawk)who's full of bull himself.

LOL!

[grasswire]

12. can you imagine if Clinton had made this kind of mistake?

Talk radio would have hooted over it for thousands of hours by now.

It undermines Bush's very image that has been so carefully woven. It's so elemental. He's a FRAUD. A greenhorn. A city slicker.

All the things rural people should hate.

14. No cows at the rodeo

I've been involved with rodeos in Tx for close to 40 yrs. I've seen cattle, bulls, goats, sheep, even a monkey riding a dog, but i have never seen a cow.I'm surprised he was petting the right end.

[ironflange]

15. You've never seen a wild cow milking contest?

It's not as easy as it sounds.

[TX-RAT]

17. I stand corrected

We don't milk wild cows we ..... never mind we were young and there could have been alcohol involved.

[ironflange]

21. BTW, welcome to DU

Obligatory graphics:

:toast: :toast:

I'm not in Texas, far away actually, but there's lots of rodeo 'round here.

[mike1963]

23. perfectly understandable. Drunken cows are easily tipped.

:D
Nice to see you here...
;-)

[MisterP]

22. maybe this was at the livestock show;

I just hope he doesn't try to milk any cattle, since he'll only have a 50% chance of getting it right
Bush: "Hey, this milk tastes funny."

[peekaloo]

16. Has the same trouble with his ass and a hole in the ground.

[sugarcookie]

18. What a Wannabe!

Looks like he failed basic 4H.

[11 Bravo]

20. So THAT'S why the bowlegged bastard walks so funny.

The dipshit got drunk at the "ranch" one night and tried to fuck a bull!
