8. Reston, p. 382. Reston (pp. 586-587) tells the story of how, years later in the 1980 Iowa caucuses
campaign when both Bush and Connally were in the race, Bush was enraged by Connally's denigration of
his manhood in remarks to Texans that Bush was 'all hat and no cattle.' Bush was walking by a television
set in the Hotel Fort Des Moines when Connally came on the screen. Bush reached out toward Connally's
image on the screen as if to shake hands. Then Bush screamed, "Thank you, sir, for all the kind things you
and your friends have been saying about me!" Then Bush slammed his fist on the top of the set, yelling
"That prick!"
