Former Mexican President Vicente Fox claims George W. Bush is afraid of horses . Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch is reportedly "equestrian-free.
" It's a little shocking. It's kind of funny. But more than that it adds to my theory that Bush has contempt for anything smart and hardworking (see Valerie Plame and U.
S. Armed Forces). Really?
He pretends to be a cowboy, and he doesn't like horses? I am deathly afraid of monkeys. I am.
They're gross. But you don't see me dressing up like Tarzan as part of my public persona. But maybe that's how you get to be the Decider.
Like WWF wrestling, you have to choose a character for theatrics. "Sunday Night - the Decider meets his arch nemesis - The Inquisitor! In a smack down of biblical proportions!
" So in the contest to be the next Decider - the tights are pulled on, and we're ready to rumble! The latest contender is Fred Dalton Thompson. His character?
Multi-millionaire former lobbyist, Hollywood actor? Naw, he's an unassuming Southern bumpkin lawyer. It's Ben Matlock - played by Fred Thompson!
Now it's going to get interesting! And when has hype ever been wrong? Thompson played a committed, competent yet tough public servant on television's Law and Order .
He can do this. He can read the script and be convincing. That's all we need in the ring.
When Thompson announced his candidacy on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno , it was like time stood still. Really. I think time actually stood still.
"It was about as riveting as a steel worker on strike," as Matlock might say as he was driving a pick-up truck on his way to fetch some fried chicken and biscuits. Ahem. Thompson's real political record is as follows: He won a special election seat for the Senate in Tennessee in 1994 and was then reelected in 1996.
He was the alleged 'down to earth' candidate that drove a now infamous red pick up truck along the campaign trail.
