Sorta like looking for a bride to be at a strip club, but what the hey. This quote is so cool on so many levels. "I'm looking for a good cowboy," Bush said Monday when a French reporter asked him whether relations had improved to the point where the U.S. president would be inviting Chirac to the U.S. president's ranch in Texas.

We know how the Euro effete absolutely go catatonic over the cowboy image. Plus referring to Chirac as a cowboy is a dig. Then again, in reality a ranch hand Does need good cowboys to watch his back and take care of business for him so it's a challenge for the French to be allies. I'd LOVE to see Chirac clearing some brush at the ranch with Bush this summer.
