think, a "Texan" attribute, according to Bush.

Okay -- maybe like Emma Tenayuca, the communist
Latina-American labor organizer in Texas (remarkably

in Dallas), or Lucy Parsons, ex-slave, widow of
Haymarket martyr Albert Parsons, and co-founder of the
IWW, from Waco. Oh, but wait -- he means people who
aren't really from Texas, like himself.
