James Wolcott - Vanity Fair:

" Bush is no more of a genuine cowboy (roping steers, farting by the campfire) than Ronald Reagan was. In fact, he's further removed from reality. Reagan was an actor who played cowboys in movies and became a politician. Bush is a politician who pretends to be a cowboy in order to remind us of Ronald Reagan...His being a double copy - a Warholian fake of a fake - hasn't kept the press from rolling out a red carpet for every Bush production, including the liberation of Iraq..."
