shropshire 0 #3 August 17, 2006 Hi John. I dont really know... but in the U.K if you call someone a cowboy (like a cowboy builder, for example) - it implies shoddy workmanship - I dont know the provenence of the implied insult tho'..(I might just go and look it up now). But the bit that I found particularly funny, was that the insult came from Prescott (I think that the irony was lost on him). Bye, (.)Y(.)

What attributes of a cowboy does he consider to be undesireable? Just a guess, but possibly the illiterate hypocritical redneck who's diplomatic arsenal is almost entirely consisting of "whoop ass" may be excellent for running a herd of cows, but woefully inept at running a nation.

kallend 2,146 #5 August 17, 2006 I heard that he denied saying that Bush was "crap". Kinda like the Canadian PM saying that Bush is not a moron.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickjump1 0 #6 August 17, 2006 Oh... Prescott's just pissed that he never got invited to the Crawford, TX ranch. It's where they feed all those foreigners BBQ beef, give em a horse and let em play cowboy for a couple of days. They get to keep the boots and hat, but they know they can't take the six guns home. Too bad.Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky... 0 #7 August 18, 2006 Cowboys are notorious for being generally stupid, narrow-minded, illiterate, etc... I think Bush is a cowboy. Just as a CPA is notorious for being a woos, cowboys are notorious for being rugged but stupid. Just a stereotype of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
