For an old ranching girl, O'Connor turned out pretty good?

Huh?

Bush was chatting on the phone with O'Connor.

"For an old ranching girl, you turned out pretty good," he told O'Connor, who grew up on an Arizona ranch. It was an emotional, five-minute call, McClellan said.

He quoted Bush as telling O'Connor, "You're one of the great Americans" and "I wish I were there to hug you."

While I'm glad Bush is praising O'Connor, because we could use more justices like her, balanced, willing to come to a concensus, rather than nutjobs like Scalia and Thomas - and Bush's praise of O'Connor will send the radical right in a tizzy - what is this "for an old ranching girl" business? Is there a problem with "ranching girls" in general? Just asking.
