All hat, no cattle

More about the wacko representative from Florida.

Rep. Frederica Wilson … all hat, no substance. (crewof42.com)

“ALL HAT, NO CATTLE” is a saying I frequently heard while living in the Great State of Texas. I was told that it was a reference to the 1940s, with the influx of those interested in oil, not ranching. While their fortunes allowed them to own ranches, ranching wasn’t really in their blood. When they donned western-style hats, the real, native Texans laughed it off and coined the saying: “All hat, no cattle.”

Since then, others have pegged people who display such phoniness as someone who is all talk and no action, someone who displays a kind of pretentious bravado, but cannot match it with substance.

I was reminded of this when Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) politicized President Trump’s call of condolence to the wife of Sgt. LaDavid Johnson. Wilson wears a glitzy cowgirl-style hat, even while on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. You and I know why someone like Wilson seeks attention as she does through her headwear. It’s because she has no significant legislative achievement to give her legitimacy.

Even though she was effectively “taken to the woodshed” by Chief of Staff John Kelly, an event that would have silenced most intelligent individuals, Wilson boasted that now she’s “a rock star.” How pathetic.
