Bush League I

I have no way of proving this to you, but I predicted at least 4 years ago that when George Bush leaves office, he will sell his Crawford ranch and move to Dallas. And it was just announced that he was going to do that very thing.

The ranch was a prop that he bought in 1999,  in the successful attempt (obviously) to glom on some of the Reagan ranch thing. The difference is Reagan lived in his ranch before he was President, retired there, and died there. It was his home. Bush bought his own ranch just before announcing for President, so he could look like a rugged western rancher, and not the Dallas city boy he always was. He even stole the photo op setup from the Reagan years, in which he was seen wearing rugged western gear, and chopping cedar--just a cowboy gettin' away from all them city folk and doing what he'd rather be doing--fixin' up the ole homestead, takin' care of the ole honeydo list.

I don't know why it pisses me off, but it does. The man is utterly inauthentic. Rather like his dad. A carpetbagger. An empty windbreaker. Shallow--stand him sideways and you can't see him. Counting down the days, hours and minutes till he's gone.
