I was reading the Times this morning, and I just got to the end of disgust with a certain distortion. Why is it that every single reference, no matter what media it appears in, to Bush's property in Crawford calls it a Ranch and not an Estate? I mean, I just googled "Bush Estate," and there's not one single entry! Well, I'm putting an end to that right here!
Here's the deal: on a ranch, you've got cattle. Bush doesn't have any cattle. Ergo, it's not a ranch. What is it? It's an Estate. Fine, I know there actually are some 200 cattle grazing on his property; he leases grass to the former owners. But they've got nothing to do with him, and vice versa, because he's scared of horses and cattle. It's a 1583-acre estate, with only the faintest pretense of productivity.
Now, I know that the SCLM will be slow to pick this up, but I think the responsible leftie media should stop accepting the spin that gives some kind of Texan rural machismo to our President, who is really a Connecticut garden pantywaist. Stop calling his estate a ranch!
