Bill Maher writes this on Huffpo [1]:
America was invented by liberal men in Boston and Philadelphia. Not that I don’t love all of America, but rednecks who think they’re the real America should read a history book once in a while. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin, Madison — the whole lot of them were well read, erudite, European thinking children of the enlightenment, and they would have had absolutely nothing in common and less to say to a cowboy simpleton like George Bush.
I would disagree with Maher only in that Bush is, in no sense of the word, a cowoy. He is a pretend cowboy. Cowboys really work with cows and they work hard. Cutting brush in a cowboy hat is not being a cowboy.
