1. Ain't no cowboys in Virginia, Georgie Boy.

7. Yep, Virginians with horses don't wear shit-kickers. . .

they wear classic English-style riding boots.

As in the equestrian sports (dressage, three-day event, show jumping) and thoroughbred racing.

:evilgrin:

9. hmmmmmmmmmmm....

80% of the cowboys were black.

I think that we better start calling them "plantation owner" boots.

2. The difference is a no-brainer. Cowboy boots are covered with cow shit.

Combat boots are covered with blood.

4. Dick Morris is completely bi-partisan on this issue

He sees qualities in both types of footwear.

5. Georgie, your boots have never seen stirrups. We can tell

by the inside of the heels. You're all boots and no cattle.

6. Boots do tell the tale, don't they?

8. Boots on the ground, indeed! n/t

10. Allen in his cowboy boots

reminds me of that stupid bumpersticker with the pics of Bush and Reagan "My heroes have always been cowboys." It infuriates me, I always want to stand and wait for the driver and explain what neither of them have to do with cowboys. Jerks.
