Liz Smith: Texan, Smartass....Hero

Liz lets loose

How do you feel about the fact that when people around the country or around the world think of Texas, they think of George W. Bush?

That's one of the things that I really don't like about the president -- that my state would be defined by Mr. Preppy. I think the whole Texas thing with him is such a put-on. I don't consider him a real Texan. When he tells you how great it was to grow up in Midland, I have to laugh.

Because?

Midland is a place you want to pass through.
