"Quite simply the cockiest guy I ever met in my life"



"Carol, former President Fox's book won't be out for a few more days, but it is already causing murmurs in social and political circles from Washington, D.C., to Mexico City, because it apparently brings out Fox's true feelings about U.S. president George Bush, who many thought was one of his closest friends.

It was his first trip outside of the United States as president. In February of 2001, George W. Bush visited Mexican president Vicente Fox on his ranch in the state of (INAUDIBLE).

They stopped to admire horses at the ranch, but Vicente Fox wasn't convinced that President Bush was a true horse lover. In "Revolution of Hope," the former Mexican president's memoirs, Fox calls Bush a "windshield cowboy," one who prefers to drive than ride. "A horse lover can always tell when others don't share our passion," Fox writes.

Fox also critiques Bush's language skills, saying his Spanish is that of grade school level. And he says Bush is "Quite simply the cockiest guy I ever met in my life."
