"my first rodeo"

[Jonathan Lighter]

Several two-dimensional images on cable news lately, including Gov. Perry,
have used the phrase "This isn't/ain't my first rodeo."

David Barnhart mentioned the expression here in 2006 after it was uttered by
G. W. Bush.

That was the year YBQ appeared. Next edition, it should go in.
