Pokey,
It's nice, it's OK, but why do you serve us up with such easy targets?

The leftists are obviously desperate for anti Bush material.
To: Pokey78
So, they tried to ridicule him by calling him a "cowboy," and that backfired because the American people kinda like cowboys. So, now the new line is he's
not a cowboy.
At least liberals have, uh, flexible minds.

They forgot to mention anything about pre-emptive strikes against known rustler bands operating in the area. Not petty cattle thieves here, except at first, but rustlers going after 500-1000 head of cattle at a time. Maybe the author of this article should try reading some other authors too.
To: Pokey78
The only thing I know for sure after wading through this convoluted, navel gazing, self-indulgent tripe is Ms. Faludi doesn't know anything about Cowboys.

sure she does....she knows she wants to get her hair pulled and her booty spanked by one....but she is probably so ugly that all she has a chance of is getting branded.

While I respect Faludi for her iconoclastic reformulation of feminism, this is really a thoroughgoing mush. Bush is not a cowboy, he is a professional politician and the President of the United States. Projecting people into symbols and then shuffling the symbols around to attempt to produce meaning may be a high art in university semiotics classes, but to those of us for whom words have real meanings, it's just more futile intellectual masturbation.

A feminazi with credentials in masculinity? Yeah it takes one to know one and er, Susan Faludi has never even been a cowgirl!!!

President Bush's family is New England blue blood. He was born in the east & came to Texas as a boy (age 11 ?) He lived in a mid sized west Texas town until he went back east to school. He is by no stretch of the imagination a cowboy, farm boy or country boy. He is a plain spoken, God fearing, honest man. Men like that can come from any background.

Being a native Texan, I know Bull Sh!T when I read it, and I assure you, this is a pile of it! Then you also are familar with the phrase "All hat, no cattle." That one is more appropriate than "cowboy".

Did the New York
Times run a contest for "Most Obscure Criticism of President Bush"?
And did Ms. Faludi win?
