Why do media refer to * as "Rancher", "Businessman"

Besides the fact that "playboy", "heir", "drunk", and "ne'er-do-well" sound sort of disrespectful, why to his media minions insist on trying to make it sound like he's some sort of success story? Can't they just leave his useless first 50 years alone - pretend they never happened? Why lie about something so trivial?

1. To cover the media's own asses....

If they described gw the way he SHOULD be described, everyone would realize what a bunch of whores the media were for so slavishly fawning over him.

2. Don't forget "military deserter"

He couldn't risk the drug test so he was classic george bush, he shirked responsibility.

My one question. Is this man's pathology from george or barbara's dna?

6. Seems from my vantage point to be nurture, not nature

I think he was raised to be a sociopath, not born to be one. Just one mathematician's opinion.

You can't ranch with out livestock.

Anyone who beleives DimSon is a rancher or a real Texan is a fool.

9. Reprobate

I prefer reprobate, a somewhat old fashioned word that could make a comeback with the chimp....

reprobate
adj : marked by immorality; deviating from what is considered
right or proper or good; "depraved criminals"; "a
perverted sense of loyalty"; "the reprobate conduct of
a gambling aristocrat" perverted]
n : a person without moral scruples
v : reject as invalid, as of documents [ant: approbate

10. He's referred to as "President", also

Maybe they are listing all his professional failures. It is a longer list than his successes.

12. For the same reason Moussouai's trial is called the "9/11 Trial"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2566062

Because they are told to and the does whats they is told.

13. For "ranch," read "estate."

I've heard "ranch" a lot, but I haven't noticed anyone in the media even trying to sell us * as a "rancher."

14. That was what the fax told them to say

They could do ten minutes of actual research to find out that the "Crawford Ranch" is just a fucking stage set.

15. Because they're the Liberal Media!

And as every good conservative knows, to lllllllllliberals words like "rancher" or "businessman" are epithets to be screeched, and "playboy" and "ne'er-do-well" are what lllllllllllllllllliberals aspire to!

Just ask our good friends: Ann and Shaun and Mike and Michelle, etc.

:sarcasm:, for the benefit of the especially literal-minded

18. Any rancher can clearly see that the "props" the media uses

On his fake ranch, proves that he is a fake "rancher."

19. Because to REALLY define Bush, the media would need to use one of the

seven words that the FCC forbids.

20. His 'ranch' is as genuine as his Texas accent.

It was built like a Hollywood set to create an impression. All he can seem to do when the press is there is "clear brush". There's a hell of a lot more than that to do on a real working ranch.

This asshole needs to drop the role-playing and go back to New England and let Mommy and Daddy take care of him.
