http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20071006/en_afp/usmexicopoliticsliterature_071006180252WASHINGTON (AFP) - Vicente Fox, known for his candid talk when he was Mexico's president, speaks his mind when describing several world personalities including US President George W. Bush in his memoir that went on sale in the United States this week.
"My first impression of George W. Bush was one of total self-confidence," writes Fox in "Revolution of Hope," a portrait of Fox's life and an account of his six-year presidency.
"He was quite simply the cockiest guy I have ever met in my life."

Fox also calls Bush a "windshield cowboy" -- meaning someone more comfortable driving his truck around his ranch than riding a horse.

Fox pokes fun at Bush's "grade-school-level Spanish," but praised his "cultural sensitivity" towards Hispanics, and his "real compassion for the Latino citizens" of Texas that "goes well beyond political practicality."
