In 2001, President Bush makes a state visit to Mexico. During the visit, Mexican President Vicente Fox gave Bush a pair of Ostrich skin boots especially made for Fox, his bodyguards, cabinet members, and friends.
In 2007 the bootmaker was arrested in Mexico for having skins and boots made from endangered species. The CNN headline:
Bush's bootmaker arrested for illegal skins
Comments
That headline appears to have gone down the memory hole...
