Here's a few of my favorite gems from our cowboy in tight blue jeans. Just a reminder to all of us who disagree with Dixie's assertion that his hot cowboy is the smartest visionary in the universe:

Dixie, 7/21/2005, FP.com: I LOVE GEORGE W. BUSH!!!!!!!

And I don't give a shit what YOU think about it!

I love the way he talks, I love his honesty and integrity... I love the plain-spoken demeanor, and the confident swaggar. .......

I love to see him working on his ranch like Reagan did, I love to see him do an interview in blue jeans, I even love when he managels his salybals.

I love his chuckle, and his wit. I love his jokes,

I love to just listen to him talk about his ideas.

I love his wife, I love his accent, I love her accent... I love the way they look at each other like two people genuinely in love! I love the comfort of knowing Dubya ain't cheating on her and getting blowjobs on the side, and I love the lack of rumors that she is a lesbian. I love not having 'bimbo alerts' and an endless stream of women accusing him of sexual misconduct. I love not having to hear about cigars, cloakroom sex, and splooge on blue dresses.



I LOVE GEORGE W. BUSH!

THERE!
