I have said it before and will say it again, this movie portrays George Bush precisely. I wonder if he sees himself in Coop’s role. All the elements are there.
Lovely piece.
I dno’t think Bush needs to consciously see himself as Cooper in the film; most all of us who grew up in the Southwest at that time — and all of us who thought at heart we wanted to be cowboys — grew up with that notion that a man does the right thing because it needs doin’, whether other people join us or not.
It’s worth thinking about the other famous saying of the Cowboy Code: “Never complain, never explain.”
