Is Dubya afraid of horses?

I don't think I've seen him on one.

For all that cowboy talk, the man seems to stay pretty clear of horses.

Of course he can hardly even ride a bicycle, so maybe it's for the best.

Some cowboy, huh?

Sooner or later, every asshole gets one!!!!

P.S Facts are like Kryptonite to republicans, they don't want to admit that G.W. is a Connecticut Yankee by birth. He was born in the shadow of liberal Yale University, and daddy was born in Ted Kennedy's home State of Massachusetts. That's some funny shit right there.

I'm sure ready to have a Democrat inaugurated.

Real ready.

:hi:

You're right. Plenty of pigs.

All kinds of pigs.

:evilgrin:

Cuz I don't think anybody else wants it!

according to pickles


and jimmy jeff gannon

slang personna!

How ya doin', leftofthedial? I hope well. Happy springtime.

as for springtime, it snowed overnight . . .

I'm ready for summer!

She zinged him with "Desperate Housewife", also.

''I'll use this weapon on that devil horse if I have to!''

I love the visuals in your sig lines, Gabi Hayes.

They're just terrific.

Made me laugh to see it next to the word "Holy."

She's due in June, but more than likely (given the fact that she's three weeks ahead in growth and I have some minor health complications - gestational diabetes and anemia) will be born in May. My rock idol is Pete Townshend, so I'm hoping she's either born on his birthday (May 19) or on Memorial Day weekend, which would be the anniversary of the day my husband and I met. :)

My son and one of our dogs also were born in May (the 14th and 11th, respectively). We're kind of a "May" household. ;)

You'll be surprised. Those visuals are 500 years old.

Even his little coyboy twang is fake.

(BTW, I just love your avatar!)

Thanks on the pic -- 'found it fishing around the Google images search file.

and get away with it. No doubt Dubya found out the hard way. I guess that makes horses smarter than Repukes.

And more useful as well.

You can get a horse to pull a shitwagon.

and have them take it far upwind - say Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia could work for the location. Or any of the coaltion of the willing nations.

Too bad!

Maybe it's because it takes a real man!

Looks like he has a pretty good seat and hands. The horse looks like a Thoroughbred which would make him sensitive and unwilling to tolerate fools.

And, you're correct about the horse, too.

I used to barrel race with quarter horses - wanted to be a jockey (which I could have been if I'd stuck with it - I was a VERY tiny person until I had a 10-pound kid and I'm STILL smaller than the average woman), but I couldn't tolerate whipping a horse.

The horse is a thoroughbred.....and so is Clark. Neither suffer fools easily. :)

when he's there, there are several horses' asses around.

As a lifelong horse person, I can tell you that horses are living bullshit detectors and they respond best to firm but sensitive handling. Bush's aggressive attitude would make a sensitive horse very nervous--that's a train wreck waiting to happen. A less sensitive horse would quickly realize that this guy had no idea what he was doing and would retaliate--usually in the most embarrassing manner possible. I've known horses who kept track of low branches along the trail solely for the purpose of removing obnoxious but unskilled riders.

My guess is that at some point in his life, Bush had either a frightening or embarrassing experience with a horse which is why he avoids them even when being able to ride would clearly be helpful on the job.

Vladimir Putin took western riding lessons so as not to shame the great Russian equestrian tradition only to find that there were no horses at Bush's ranch. Likewise Vincente Fox planned to take Bush riding at his own ranch and was surprised to find that the wee cowboy did not ride.

than the American guy with the ranch!

...is the hat.

This is hilarious

Laura Bush told us so.

Riding them, though, is not his thing. He's afraid of getting hurt. It's the same feeling he got when thinking about Vietnam.



I'd guess most traitors, at heart, are cowards.

And female Speakers of the House, too.

Both Governor and horse look quite comfortable--well maybe the horse wouldn't mind if his owner lost a few pounds.

And he looks like he belongs where he is and the horse even looks proud to be involved.

Great photo.

Three Texas surgeons were playing golf together and discussing surgeries they had performed. One of them said, "I'm the best surgeon in Texas. A concert pianist lost 7 fingers in an accident. I reattached them, and 8 months later he perfomed a private concert for the Queen of England." One of the others said, "That's nothing. A young man lost both arms and legs in an accident. I reattached them, and 2 years later he won a gold medal in field events at the olympics."

The third surgeon said, "You guys are amateurs. Several years ago, a cowboy, who was high on cocaine and alcohol, rode a horse head-on into a train traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the horse's ass and a cowboy hat. Now, he's president of the United States."

Bush is afraid of everything. He's a coward at heart.

That would be the best photo op he could ever hope for! It'd put Shrubbie right up there with John Wayne and all of the great cowboys.

The fact that you can't find a picture of Shrub on a real horse is proof he's afraid of them.

poodles.
