And that’s what the guy’s friends say about him! Daily Telegraph covers Fox’s biography:

President Bush may like to be seen as a swaggering tough guy with a penchant for manly outdoor pursuits, but in a new book one of his closest allies has said he is afraid of horses.

Vicente Fox, the former president of Mexico, derided his political friend as a “windshield cowboy” – a cowboy who prefers to drive – and “the cockiest guy I have ever met in my life”.

He recalled a meeting in Mexico shortly after both men had been elected when Mr Fox offered Mr Bush a ride on a “big palomino” horse.

Mr Fox, who left office in December, recalled Mr Bush “backing away” from the animal.

1. "cockiest guy I have ever met" as president

3. I also read the other day that what he actually said is quite a bit ruder than "cockiest guy."

The direct translation is something like "anus hair" and the meaning is quite rude.

5. I believe the word might be...

Pendejo. Which literally translated is that but also just means asshole.

2. I had heard this before. There are no horses on the bush "ranch" in Texas.

When Putin visited, he asked to ride horses (probably thinking of Reagan and Gorbachev). He was told that there are no horses on the bush pig farm.
