Jim Hightower: Cowboy George, Horse Thief Video (1min 57sec). We've learned the hard way over the past seven years that George W lives in his own fantasy world--a place in which reality is whatever he wants it to be, and facts are not allowed to intrude.

"We should have know this from the start of his White House tenure for he practically painted a picture of it for us. More accurately, he showed his predilection for delusion by hanging his favorite painting in the oval office. It's a 1916 cowboy scene by W. H. D. Kerner titled 'A Charge to Keep'. And in Bush's own words a horseman determinedly charging up what appears to be a steep and rough trail."

"In Bush's head, that rider epitomizes George's own courageous political journey, dashing ahead against steep odds and may sayers who are embodied in the artwork by two other horsemen following the daring hero.
