Two faces of Bush

A nice post by Digby on the two faces of Bush. I particularly liked this shot:

He portrays himself as a salt of the earth "hard working" rancher, clearing brush on his land in an artfully sweaty Calvin Klein-style t-shirt. Yet in the first 8 months of his presidency leading up to 9/11, he spent 42% of his time on vacation. His "ranching" didn't begin until he bought his million dollar property just before he ran for president in 1999. He has lived in suburbs and cities since a brief period in his childhood in the 50’s, when he lived in the medium sized boom town of Midland before going to Andover.

Don't forget that he's afraid of horses! That's why the always photograph him clearing brush instead of doing the manlier ranch activity of horse-riding.

I always liked the fact that I was "manlier" than our Commander-in-Chief, because I am NOT afraid of horses.
