David Thorne says, "I can still feel the hair rising on the back of my neck" as he remembers the day he and his Yale classmate John Kerry were chased through the streets of Pamplona, Spain, by a thundering herd of bulls.

While traveling through Europe during a summer break from Yale, Kerry and Thorne impulsively decided to join hundreds of other young men in the traditional "running of the bulls," a macho rite of passage during the town’s annual festival.

"We got into it, took one look at the bulls rounding the corner and John said, ‘Holy Christ! They’re fast!’" Thorne recalled.

"We took off, but we didn’t get very far before the bulls were right there," Thorne said. "I saw this head of horns no more than 10 feet behind me."

And then, he said, Kerry tripped and fell.

But Kerry escaped being trampled because, Thorne said, the bulls ran around him rather than over him.

Thorne told this story to point out that Kerry, now a U.S. senator from Massachusetts

1. Back then, you had to have read Hemingway to know...

that running with the bulls was something you could do.

Bush never read books.
The Cliff's Notes version probably confused him, too: he probably thought it meant "shootin' the bull."

Sorry, too much bad news in the world today to be funny.

4. heh

watch Bush brag he ran with the pigs on the Crawford farm. LOL

I wonder what will come from Rove to prove that the coward Bush is as risky as Kerry. He is afraid of horses. I think we should demand to see the Texas cowboy riding a horse.
