The only good news in this tale is that Hinson, who could be an all hat and no cattle poster boy, ultimately lost his job.
Answer: D
The idiom means one who is full of big talk but lacks substance and actions.
All hat and no cattle is a Texan expression for someone who dresses and talks like a rich cattle rancher but owns no cattle: a show-off with nothing behind the display. In the sentence, Hinson could be its 'poster boy' because he promised much and delivered little, which is why losing his job is called good news.
The idiom says nothing about getting others into trouble, hard work or meanness with money.
