Real cowboy boots are usually tan, scuffed, muddy, and smell like horse and cow shit.

My apologies to the nine year old girls though, just in case its needed
I've got an almost 8 year old grand daughter and I have to be careful if I take a nap while shes here she might just paint my toe or finger nails or put rouge on my face or mess with my hair LOL
Peace

(24,461 posts)how this waste of below-average sex EVER became president.
BESIDES the fact that he had a lot of help, I mean.
It's like 401ks. The question shouldn't be "What went wrong?", but "Why did ANYone with a brain stem ever think this was going to be successful?"

(86,636 posts)How we never see pictures of that S&L criminal brother Neil? Where is he in this photo? Is he the one standing in the second row whose belly is all we can see? Why do we never see pictures of him in these pictures of the gang?
What I do notice about W is that he's a mommy's boy, sitting between mom and his wife looking like a fourth grade boy sitting next to his two favorite school teachers whom he has a crush on... so of course he's wearing his favorite c'boy boots - says that sh*t eatin' grin.
notadmblnd
(23,720 posts)he wore them around back when he was President'en. If I recall correctly, he also had his President'en baseball cap and his President'en jacket that he also like to wear when he was President'en.
Either that, or he was just a dolt that couldn't remember who he was if he name wasn't written on his clothing.

(115,718 posts)He wanted to make sure nobody forgot for a second that he was the president. And it was also a BFD that he was a "cowboy" from Texas. So, naturally - presidential cowboy boots. I'm guessing he had the seal imprinted on his Underoos and his jammies and his bathrobe and his toothbrush and his cereal bowl and his sippy cup and probably tattooed on his ass.

(24,000 posts)Would that we could.
Every time I see that smirking face, I am incredulous yet again that this bonehead got to be president for 8 years. I can't bring myself to say "elected twice", because he wasn't.

(6,363 posts)Taken in 2005, one would expect that Jeb would be accompanied by his wife of over 30 years - Columba. Makes me wonder why she was omitted from this lilly white photo. Hmmmm...what could be the reason. Says a lot about family dynamics.
Reminds me of my daughter in law's joke when they were dating. She said she finally felt accepted when she wasn't always on the end of the family photographs - where she could be cropped out easily. Apparently that was a practice in her family when someone "left" for whatever reason - just cut 'em outta the pictures.

(14,733 posts)It looks like she was cropped out of that tighter pic with about half the people who were posing for the 'full' picture.

(62,325 posts)presidential candidate. The Ranch also.
He also had a flight suit.
Has he worn any of that gear since he left the WH?
I read that the ranch, which was part of the 'staging', has been sold.

(36,827 posts)Prior to buying it (in 1999), Shrub had never lived anywhere but the suburbs and didn't know one end of a cow from another. After his presiduncy they promptly moved back to the suburbs.
Last I heard the Bush family had not sold it and spends one or two weekends there per year.

(62,325 posts)No pigs either.
They sure fooled a lot of gullible people. I'm sure they laughed their heads off at their 'supporters' who totally bought the cowboy fable.
Major Nikon
(36,827 posts)After that Fox referred to Shrub as a "windshield cowboy".
All hat, no cattle perfectly described Shrub. He was born and educated in New England, and spent his summers on the Bush compound in Kennebunkport, Maine. Anyone who is actually from Texas can tell he's a phony from his fake accent alone.
sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)claims to detest, North Eastern Elitist, yet I remember trying to point that out to them but they were in such a state of denial they actually refused to believe it. To them, he was a 'tough cowboy' and no one was going to change that. Even after the saw the photo of him as a cheerleader.
It was an amazing study in social manipulation.

(36,440 posts)The real reason Bush is afraid of horses...
In his late twenties, George Bush decided to go horseback riding. Although he has had no previous experience he skillfully mounted the horse and appeared in complete command of the situation as the horse galloped along at a steady pace.
After a short time George became cocky and attempted some rodeo moves he had seen on TV. He quickly lost his grip on the saddle, panicked, and grabbed the horse around the neck shouting for it to stop. George had by this time slipped completely out of the saddle and is only saved from hitting the ground by the fact that he still had a firm grip on the horse's neck.
George decided that his best chance was to leap away from the horse, and as he leaped, his foot became entangled in one of the stirrups and his head started to bang on the ground as the horse galloped along.
George, now panicked and fearing for for his life, started screaming,"help!!!!"
Hearing his screams, the K-Mart manager casually walked out of the store and unplugged the horse.

UTUSN
(70,700 posts)to FL. What that means, translated, is that the rich Rethug wives in TX shunned her, mistook her for their maid, made jokes about mistaking her for their maid, giggled and snickered in their palms, etc., meaning the racism came from their own. Yet Poppy can refer to "the little Brown ones" as his grandkids, and the two Shrubs are about the only Rethugs who can get 40% of the relatively small Hispanic vote because they know the secret of rapport: A smile and a joke and a pat on the back (= "acceptance" , getting them to vote against their self-interest.
Probably Colomba Columba (am going to have to learn to spell it in 2017) WAS in the group picture, which makes the cropping even worse. On Edit: Just saw the uncropped pic up-thread, Columba standing next to/behind Jeb Crow Shrub. In pics of them standing together she is a full couple of feet shorter than he is.

(3,920 posts)OK -- I haven't worn a tux since the 1960's (thank Dog) and I just haven't changed my footwear since I came in from spending the morning on the trails.
But, damn it, I like boots and I wearem a lot.
Well, dig it -- Jeb is right for formal wear. He has on patent leather pumps. Does that mean everybody is for Jeb on this thread?
How about a little "live and let wear boots" on DU?

(50,559 posts)The presidential seal's a different matter: turns out Shrub had a lot of things emblazoned with it when he was in office. Google "presidential seal socks" no less than four hours after your last meal.
