The Code of the West.

[banana republican]

Has * et all violated the "Code of the West".

“In the old west, an unwritten code governed the daily affairs of life. Cowboys were expected to be honest and friendly; they were required to be courageous.”

<snip>

“You know a cowboy by the way he stands and walks and talks.”

<snip>

"It should not be difficult for us to understand that certain things are not complicated or hard to understand, concepts like courtesy, respect and candor. Nor should it be difficult or hard to understand arrogance, rudeness or insensitivity. Another wise cowboy once said:
'The Code of the Range was a way of doing business, meeting others and conducting oneself.'"

<snip>

“The Code of the West was a gentleman’s agreement to certain rules of conduct. It was never written into the statutes, but it was respected everywhere on the range.”

The Code of the West was not about loopholes and grey areas. It was not about seeing how far the rules could be bent or how long we could live on the edge, just barely escaping in the nick of time."

So you tell me has * & company violated the "Code of the West".

So much for cowboys....

4. Here's your answer.

Bush admitted that he failed to fulfill his Vietnam-era domestic National Guard service obligation, but claimed that he had been "excused."

6. There's a line from

Silverado that seems apropos:

"Blind Pete always said you'd hang."

But then Dubya&Co. have always been backshooting, mouthfighting cowards. I say hangin' 's too good fer 'em.
