Bush on 'Brokeback,' Didn't See, Can't Tell
LA Times (Media Pornographers) ^ | 1/23/06 | By Peter Wallsten, Times Staff Writer

Posted on 01/23/2006 3:54:22 PM PST by BurbankKarl

WASHINGTON -- President Bush has long cultivated the image of a macho rancher, frequently donning his boots and Wrangler jeans to clear brush on his sprawling Texas property. But he was decidedly noncommittal today — and even a bit nonplused — when asked for his reaction to the most talked-about ranching film in years: "Brokeback Mountain."

"I hadn't seen it," Bush told thousands of students and professors at Kansas State University, responding to a query from an audience member. "I'd be glad to talk about ranching, but I haven't seen the movie."

The movie, featuring the love story of two gay cowboys, this month won the Golden Globe award for best motion picture drama and top honors from the Producers Guild of America and is showing remarkable success — even in conservative, red-state towns and cities that helped reelect Bush.

But if Bush intends to see it, he showed no such desire today when the young man in the crowd raised the idea toward the end of a lengthy, unscripted and unexpected question-and-answer session.

"You would love it," the questioner persisted. "You should check it out."

He's delusional. And His mom is an enabler.

Too many such "moms" out there.

I feel no need to see Humpback Mountain, having already caught the essence of it in that one scene in ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY where Champ tells Ron "I miss you...I miss your scent...I miss your musk" while the other guys on the News Team shift around and look extremely uncomfortable, and finally tell him to "just stop talking".

Yep - it's how they show their contempt for our President.

(The movie, featuring the love story of two gay cowboys)

They forget to mention that at least one is married and his affair ends up breaking his marriage and causing his wife and family a great deal of pain. How romantic.

When this city slicker was a kid, cowboys wrangled cows and shepards worked with sheep.... and there was always bad blood between the sheep folks and ranchers. I suspect we now know why Hollywood made all those movies about the bad cowboys and the sheep ranchers (shepards) ... and why the cowboys shot the shepards.

...when asked for his reaction to the most talked-about ranching film overhyped homosexual cowboy film in years: "Brokeback Mountain."

Fixed it.

This is not some "ranching film", it's about a couple of butt-buddy rope-suckers.

I'm guessing that butt-buddy rope-suckers were a rarity back then, and probably still are today.

My only disappointment is that the one guy was terrific in a great movie..."October Sky" a while back.

I was there today and got in the press section. This was one of the most incredible experiences I have had in my life.

The president reacted to this question....clearly surprised by it.

Yeah, I noticed that too. The kid's probably been smothered with estrogen since the day he was born.
