In the Pink Texas on McClellan

By stcynic on April 20, 2006.

This blog has some very funny stuff about Scott McClellan's resignation. For instance:

"I have given it my all, sir, and I have given you my all, sir, and I will continue to do so as we transition to a new press secretary," McClellan said to Bush as the President tried to remember to whom he was talking. I kid. The two have grown closer, mostly because McClellan's head exerts a powerful gravitational force.

Bush said that being spokesweasel was "a challenging assignment." YOU try defending this den of thieves. "One of these days, he and I are going to be rocking in chairs in Texas and talking about the good old days," Bush said (whimsically?). "We'll watch our grandkids clear brush while Cindy Sheehan protests outside."

I wonder if Bush will still have to have the brush trucked in for the photo ops.

That photo-op ranch of his must be one of the brushiest places on earth.

What I've found interesting is the fact that faux-rancher Bush has never been photographed on or even near a horse. I thought that ranchers rode horses. Maybe he's afraid of them.
