At the White House, the president has got to be muttering "some friend" when he pores over the new autobio from his old buddy Vicente Fox, Mexico's former leader. That's because Fox raps his border pal as stubborn and "the cockiest guy I have ever met in my life." Revolution of Hope, out next month, is a well-written, well-researched book about Fox's political career and presidency, which coincided with George W. Bush's. While he expresses a kinship with W, he breaks with the prez on the war and slams the GOP's immigration platform. He blames Bush's stubbornness on Iraq for bad international relations, calls his Spanish "grade-school level," and admits he didn't think Bush would ever become president. "I can't honestly say that I had ever seen George W. Bush getting to the White House," he pens.
What were all the great accomplishments of Vincente during his presidency?
Other than exporting millions of his countrymen so they could send back gingo-dollars to Mexico.
Perhaps he was busy working on his “grade-school level” English.

Friendship is a 2-way street... it’s not all about what you want out of it...
Obviously, Fox never did intend to be a friend.
What a jerk!
No surprise here — this is the same President that looked a former KGB spy in the eye and claimed to see his soul. President Bush is nothing if not a sucker for a friendly smile from a hard-core leftist.
Well, there was the comic book...

And also, he’s very tall.:)
Sheesh Bush gives away our country, our jobs and our economy to this guy and that’s the best he can say? I hope this opens Bush’s eyes to what a sucker he was. Maybe now he’ll reverse course and build the fence while there’s still time. Well I can dream, can’t I?

Fox is an ingrate and no prince himself. Still, the slander of “cocky” kinda sticks when directed toward Bush.
Not sure, but pendejo would work just as well.
Oye, Jorge, ju kip iusing dis word, “amigo”.
I do not tink eet means what you tink eet means.
Oh goody, a Bush-bash post.
President Bush isn’t cocky, he’s confident. He was wrong about Putin, but at the same time do not discount the need for diplo-speak. I’d like to see you navigate these treacherous waters and never utter a word that SOME asswipe will use against you.
No. Using “cocky” to describe President Bush is leftist pablum.
What do you want, a weenie like John Kerry?
I didn’t say Bush was cocky — that was Vincente Fox.
I just suggested that he was naive.
LOL. President Bush is naive?
For God’s sake, he is the first leader to have taken on the WOT. Naive, indeed. If you live in la-la land.
Of course, YOU would have done it better.
“Still, the slander of “cocky” kinda sticks when directed toward Bush.”
I’ll see you at the signing...
I know Fox is going to take a bad rap here, but lets get real.
The man is simply carrying on like his has for the last decade. Sure he is an S.O.B., but then Bush chummed it up with this S.O.B. He’s getting just the payback he deserves.
Bush basically sold out the U.S. to Mexican demands, demands delivered by Vincinte Fox. We tried to tell Bush to stop it. We begged him to stop it.
You know what, Fox may be right after all. Bush just may be, “the cockiest guy I have ever met in my life.” He sure doesn’t give a hot damn what we think.
Fox is a jerk. That is for certain. That doesn’t make him wrong here. Sadly, I think he’s got Bushes number all too often.
I disagree with Fox on the war and obviosly on immigration. When he addresses Bush’s Spanish he probably pretty damned close to correct. And I might add, his English isn’t any better.
It’s been one major pain in the posterior having a man so incapable of communicating when he was supposed to be on our side. Sometimes yes, more often than not no. And what difference did it make at times tripping all over his tongue adding in “S”s as if he just picked up an extra bushel at K-Mart and had to get rid of them.
Very. Just ask Teddy Kennedy, he plays him like a fiddle.
“Of course, YOU would have done it better.”
Probably not — but I wouldn’t have been as naive.
LOL! I loved that movie.
Ted Kennedy plays President Bush like a fiddle? Do tell.
And Bush and Rove think all them other Mexicans are going to vote Republican in gratitude also, eh?
Just another Meskin.
“Ted Kennedy plays President Bush like a fiddle? Do tell.”
Bush started his Presidency by having Ted Kennedy write his education bill for him. And, as his reward for reaching across the aisle, Kennedy called him a liar.
One would have thought that relationship dead until Bush then had Ted Kennedy write the legislation that he wanted as his final and crowning domestic agenda accomplishment, the immigration bill.
Yes, Ted Kennedy plays Bush like a fiddle.
Ya think?
To bad Bush couldn't see what everyone else could.
