#6 If he's a good cowboy, he ought to be able to break a mustang. I'd pay money to watch Chiraq try. |

#5 What's really funny, and clever, about the "I'm lookin' for a good cowboy" statement, is how Bush has been portrayed so negatively in Europe as the Cowboy President. |

#4 Sounds like an inside (Texas) joke to me. The ranchmen I grew up around used to say that to kids (both boys & girls) to raise a smile. It's a good-natured compliment--everybody wanted to grow up to be "a good cowboy," but a bit teasing. Sort of like asking a Little Leaguer if he's ready to play for the Yankees. |

#2 I'm just amazed that nobody has made the connection that Bush OWNS the ranch and he's just LOOKING for a good cowboy -- a good hired hand. I found this amusing, but there's no way I could stretch it to "lavish in his praise of French President Jacques Chirac". That bloated frog wouldn't even make a so-so cowboy. |

#1 This is the first dinner since I’ve been re-elected on European soil .... Interesting turn of phrase. It largely telegraphs everything one needs to know about Bush's likely approach to European states during his second term. |
