Ponder Dr. Thompson's analysis of recent political history.

[Pepperbelly]

His analysis of the swine is superior.

Presidential politics is a vicious business, even for rich white men, and anybody who gets into it should be prepared to grapple with the meanest of the mean. The White House has never been seized by timid warriors. There are no rules, and the roadside is littered with wreckage. That is why they call it the passing lane. Just ask any candidate who ever ran against George Bush -- Al Gore, Ann Richards, John McCain -- all of them ambushed and vanquished by lies and dirty tricks. And all of them still whining about it.

Things haven't changed all that much where George W. Bush comes from. Houston is a cruel and crazy town on a filthy river in East Texas with no zoning laws and a culture of sex, money and violence. It's a shabby sprawling metropolis ruled by brazen women, crooked cops and super-rich pansexual cowboys who live by the code of the West -- which can mean just about anything you need it to mean, in a pinch.

journalist on the scene today. I miss his voice and his righteous indignation over that gang of thieves in the White House.

4. I always enjoyed his comment: "pansexual cowboys."

I had to think about what it meant. I'm still not sure but it makes me laugh. Reminds me of "metro-sexuals" somehow. :D
