Vicente Fox: BUSH Is "the cockiest guy I have ever met in my life".
George Bush the Texan is 'scared of horses'
By Alex Spillius in Washington
Last Updated: 3:55am BST 21/09/2007


President Bush may like to be seen as a swaggering tough guy with a penchant for manly outdoor pursuits, but in a new book one of his closest allies has said he is afraid of horses.



George W Bush saddles up,
but where is the horse?


Vicente Fox, the former president of Mexico, derided his political friend as a "windshield cowboy" – a cowboy who prefers to drive – and "the cockiest guy I have ever met in my life".

He recalled a meeting in Mexico shortly after both men had been elected when Mr Fox offered Mr Bush a ride on a "big palomino" horse.

Mr Fox, who left office in December, recalled Mr Bush "backing away" from the animal.

1. Perhaps it's a mistranslation.
What he meant to say is "He's the biggest dick I've ever met."

5. Supposedly the context entails
"cocky" as a compliment.
