All hat, no horses

Too, too delicious:

W is afraid of horses! That's what former Mexican president Vicente Fox says in his soon-to-be published memoir.

Note: Bush's ranch in Crawford has only been the family seat since 1999, when it was bought to burnish his image as a child of the frontier for the presidential run. Oh, and the ranch has no horses.

(Full disclosure: TONE has always been a little uncomfortable around horses--he's generally uncomfortable around beasts larger than himself. This may be hereditary: TONE's ancestors were a lot more likely to be running from the Cossacks than astride one of their mounts. And TONE doesn't hold himself out as a cowboy. )

A friend told me that John McCain said Bush was all hat and no cattle, back in the 2000 campaign, and after the South Carolina thing.
