"My message to you - I'm sure you're wondering what it is. My message to you is that we can have the kind of America we want, if we fight for it, if we organize and mobilize.

The question is not what Bush is going to do. We know who he is. I watched him five years when he was governor, here. And now I've watched him six and a half years now in Washington, DC. George W. is an absolute corporate wet dream. Any fantasy that a CEO has will come true by putting money into the Bushites campaign coffers.

And I know Carl Rove says 'well he's Cowboy George, we created Cowboy George.' He's got that ranchette down here in Crawford, Texas. He only bought that to run for president. And by the way, it was a pig farm before he bought that place. Kinda poetic, isn't it? And of course the media follows Bush down there. He'll be down there in the next month, clearing brush. He's always clearing brush. 'I'm here clearing brush.' They raise brush on that ranch. It's what they do. And by the way, they raise no cattle. Isn't that interesting? A rancher with no cattle. Bush has no cattle whatsoever.

And of course he struts around in that hat. It's got to be a thousand dollar hat. I'm sure he bought it over here at Neiman Marcus. But I'll tell you what, there's a thousand dollar hat on a ten cent head, if I ever saw one..."
