Vicente Fox tells all about Bush

11:38 H | Topics: Books - Mexico - Politics

Former president of Mexico Vicente Fox is telling it like it is in his new autobiography, and he's got a lot of things to say about his friend Dubya, whom he calls "the cockiest guy I've ever met":

"My first impression of George W. Bush was one of total self-confidence. He is quite simply the cockiest guy I have ever met in my life," Fox wrote, according to an advance copy of the book.

Except, perhaps, when it came to language skills. Fox said Bush was "a bit sheepish as he tried out his grade-school-level Spanish" at that meeting in Austin, Texas.

If you think that this means Fox is talking smack about Bush, think again. According to excerpts from Reuters, it seems as if Chente is kissing just as much Bush butt as he did when he was president:

Bush had charmed the Mexican president by visiting his family ranch in the central state of Guanajuato in February, 2001 "on equal terms."

"This was the great honor George Bush paid to Mexico, the reason I will always be his friend, no matter how sharply we may disagree on Iraq," Fox said.

You'll "always be his friend" because he "honored" you with a visit to your ranch? Wow, it doesn't take much with you, does it Chente?
