Thanks for the info about references. I linked the wikipedia article as my website (click my name).

I also don’t see why the fact that he gives people nicknames is considered bashing.

Bush Bashing? Anyone who follows politics knows Bush is known for assigning nicknames to just about everything. I haven’t a clue why he does it, but he does, and I’ve never heard anyone ever complain about it.

If anyone actually wants references (I suspect no one really does) try “List of nicknames used by George W. Bush” in Wikipedia. There are over 40 citations, including BBC, CNN, NYT, PBS, and the Washington Post.

All confirmed by at least the AP and NYT, yep!

Interesting, but I agree with Jennings that something showing where you got this stuff would be nice. Otherwise, it just sounds like another tired Bushbashing.

Oh I am laughing myself silly, “Turd Blossom” “Congressman Kickass”. Every comedy writer in Hollywood owes him a debt of gratitude.

The Benator is a great Senator, so that actually is pretty fitting, as well as punny.

One of my favorites because it’s such a silly pun…

The Benator: His name for Senator Ben Nelson

Can we get some references on these? It’s not that I dont believe he said them all, I do.
Also…”Turd Blossom”, haha.

See, he doesn’t need to worry about catching Osama Bin Laden or anything. His legacy is already firmly in place…
