Hilarious "Letter to the Editor in The Nation"

[mistertrickster]

" . . . George W. Bush is NOT a Texan . . . Bush was born in Connecticut, so I suppose that makes him a Conn man.
"Second, Bush does not wear 'cowboy boots.' Cowboy boots have the manure on the outside."

"The Nation," 24 Nov 2003, p. 22

2. My husband

a proud sixth-generation Texan, is very angry whenever anyone even insinuates that Bush is a Texan. He calls the Shrub a carpetbagger.

3. I'm told that the technical term is "goat roper"

...though not being a Texan myself I can only trust what I'm told. But I read that that's the correct Texas-ism for the "all hat, no cowboy" style of poseur we have here. One educated in exclusive Eastern prep schools and the Ivy league, who can't ride a horse but bought his "beloved" ranch the month before his presidential campaign started as a kind of fashion accessory to go with the Gucci boots and fake accent.
