A tough old cuss with a hard head

You could ask George W. Bush.

A lot of people are anxious to help. Others, like Rep. John Murtha, who fancies himself the greatest strategic thinker since FDR, Churchill or at least Jimmy Carter, are merely eager to "help." Every time he sees a camera, the congressman rushes over to send the message to the president that he's whipped, exhausted, and it's time to cut and run. (Someone said they saw him talking into a stray video camera for 10 minutes at Safeway the other day, thinking it was CNN, until the woman behind the lens explained that she was only trying to frame her grandchildren between the cabbages and the cauliflower and would he please get out of the way.) Mr. Murtha calls his retreat "strategic redeployment." Like all old soldiers, he frames the new war with stories from his old one. (Iraq is just like Vietnam, without the geckos.)

But George W. is a stubborn old cuss, tough as a razorback even if he is a Texican, and he's likely to continue doing it his own way. We can all be grateful for his stubborn streak, inherited most likely from his mama, because his single-minded pursuit of evildoers is what has protected us from a reprise of September 11. That's probably why almost nobody showed up for the weekend anti-war rallies, either here or in London or in Europe.

Barbara Bush is the tough one! :)
Im hearing he has too much manliness
I just got done reading that one too.
I was trying to decide whether to post a picture of Popeye or Brutus
there ya go! :D
Thank you Mr Wesley Pruden!
"greatest strategic thinker since FDR, Churchill or at least Jimmy Carter"
I love it! "The greatest thinker since Jimmy Carter" - that puts him in a class between turkeys and ostriches.
Bush did a great job in Cleveland yesterday!!
I'm reading "Rebel in Chief" - it's hillarious! And .. it's also very revealing on how GW thinks. He cuts right to the chase - no middle sidestepping - just right to the heart of the matter - WHAT IS THE SOLUTION!!
It's a great book.
Except for the fact that Pruden still thinks Pres. Bush wasn't paying attention in the early hours of Katrina.
