Hah! Olberman reporting on pissypant's fear of horses.

Talking about Vicente Fox going on about it.

Some years ago, I posted my own eye-witness account of this here.

1. animals know.

2. I feel certain GW fell off

his hobby horse as a child and was traumatized.

[blm]

3. It was his fear of landing planes that made him screw up at TANG.

Of course, paranoia inducing drugs like cocaine couldn't have helped in that regard.

BTW - Kerry is an expert horseman, and pilot who can even stuntfly.

But the media chose to play Freaky Friday and create storylines the exact opposite of who they are.

And now Dan Rather is proving we were right about the newsmedia's complicity with Bush WH all along.

5. Great point, I have never considered that..

It takes exactly the same kind of self-assurance to do both. And I speak from personal knowledge.

Every time you get on a horse, there is a good chance that you will end up in a heap on the ground.

Same thing with planes.

Excellent point (to me, anyway), blm.

7. He's afraid of things he can't control. Most fascists are. So they BUY control

of whatever they can like the media to gain control of the message machinery because they know they can't sell their fascist message on its merits - just like they could never sell the REAL Bushboy.

4. FINALLY! Reagan, Carter, Clinton, Kennedy and Johnson were capable horsemen.

That this guy who's freakin' AFRAID of horses received a "cowboy" label is laughable. MKJ
