Atrios points out this most recent atrocity by Ed Henry of CNN in which he characterizes Bush as "tough guy from Texas." What is there in the life of George W. Bush to suggest that he is in any way a tough guy? Where has he ever had to prove his mettle as a man?
Because I look and all I see is a smirking, privileged, arrogant, bullying frat boy who has had everything in life handed to him. I see nothing in his biography that suggests any demonstration of physical or moral courage in his life. And, no, getting other people's children killed, or having them kill other other people's children doesn't really make you a tough guy by any objective measure. I absolutely hate crap like this. So Ed Henry, in the spirit of the season, fuck off you smarmy ass kisser.
