As you know, many of us are more outraged over this presidency than perhaps any other (which is saying something). We’re also exasperated with the Democratic Party which, our dreams of Green aside, is currently the only lot that can possibly get these theocrats out of office. But as we’re learning from the mainstream media, whose latest negative news peg… return to article

Reader Comments (121)Page 1 of 1 pagesFor the catagory, “Nickname that president”, in the subset, “Military”, I think we should call him - “President AWOL”.
Everytime he doesn’t go to a military funeral - President AWOL. Everytime he pretends to know more than he does - President AWOL. In fact, whenever he shows up, waves a turkey around for two hours, and then leaves, why he is just, “President AWOL.”
Posted by Jesse Wendel on Dec 16, 2003 at 6:48 PM Just call him Chad (can be preceded by “Hanging” and follwoed by “Row).
Posted by juley harvey on Dec 16, 2003 at 7:18 PM Well, ... I always thought of POTUS as “l’ignorant”, ... then he uttered this words:
“International law? I better call my lawyer; he didn’t bring that up to me.”
I believe that commet was quite telling, ... truthful, if you will. You see, ... what ‘w’ did is simply telegraphed to those who still don’t get it that U.S. does not have a foreign policy, ... is not interested in foreign policy, ... does not need foreign policy. U.S. foreign policy is simply a domestic policy extended beyond its borders. Sort of like telling the rest, bluntly: ... ‘Your sovereignity does not exist, ... get used to it!’. Remember, ... “you-either-with-us-or-against-us” shrill?
... and so, I lack for words describing minor-shrub.
Posted by Foreigner on Dec 16, 2003 at 7:28 PM How about we call him “Lonesome Dub.” You know, in reference to the fact that all but a handful of UN members are on speaking terms with us. And even that small few knows what’s really going on, they’re just in it for the oil like us. I can just imagine Lonesome Dub at the UN meetings, sitting in the corner with his cabinet, catching evil looks from the French. The idiots are taking over.
Posted by The Counter Errorist on Dec 16, 2003 at 9:32 PM Nickname that president:
I have 2 suggestions for a nickname, both for general use.
1. twig - a further reduction of shrub, to indicate he’s just an offshoot.
2. The unelected occupant - I really like this because it continually reminds people how he got the presidency - by manipulation and outright theft. He’s not there legitimately, is there only by subterfuge, and is essentially a usurper president.
Posted by George Hamilton on Dec 16, 2003 at 10:47 PM I have another good name for W, “The president who finally brought Saddam to justice”
Or “the guy who dominated in 04”
You honestly think Bush thinks that people are dumb? I thought the peopel thought he was dumb?

By the way Brad, it doesn’t make a bit of difference if they caught Saddam, who’s number of his own people he’s killed keeps dropping. I though it was in the millions? Or was that the WOMD? Or the terrorism? Or nukes? Or 9/11? Oh, wait, he didn’t do any of those things, including threaten the US. Let the thug-in-chief put him on trial and further piss off the Islamic world and see how much further it escalates. You know they’ll try to.
It was still an illegal war you sheep-acting person. Bah! Bah! Bah! Go ahead, listen and believe his BS--it doesn’t your arguments much credibility, not in my opinion.
Posted by neil on Dec 17, 2003 at 1:52 AM Greetings,
Of course, our “anger” over the Imperium’s crimes is irrelevant to them. They have been touched by “GOD,” and anything they do is above and beyond reproach. Do what we may, the staged events will continue, up to the weeks before the election.
A “state of emergency” is not out of the question. Consider the subtle build up of police powers after Patriot Act II was a bit “defused.” Lots of little genuises went to work to build up the framework for a military police state “government,” naturally _needed_ in a “state of emergency.”It would be great fun to parody this banal figurehead with whom they _stole_ the election, were it not for the seriousness of their intent.
I wish any and all good luck resisting, but protect your families while you are doin it. The apparatus to manage the whole population of N. America is up and running.ananda

Posted by Anthony McArthur on Dec 17, 2003 at 11:18 AM And, oh, to Brad above, if indeed Saddam were captured, I am sure most people on this site were happy he was taken out of the picture. However, that does not change the fact that this war was initiated based upon a series of lies and deceptions. I think if the average American is “happy” that Saddam was caught then they should be just as interested in finding further happiness in deposing the American powers and influences that helped put him there and keep him there. I mean, come on, Brad, explain away the vide of Rumsfeld meeting with Hussein in ‘83; explain away how US companies were allowed to sell elements of toxic agents to Iraq, explain away the 5 Billion in loan guarantees to Saddam prior to the Iran war in Bush I presidency. Whenever I challnge my Brad like republican friends with these facts, they invariably respond; “Well, Clinton was a bastard, and thank god Gore wasn’t in there on 9-11.” It is because of comments like these that I believe that yes, Bush DOES think the American public is stupid, far more stupid even than he, for there is no other explanation as to how he was “elected”.
Posted by Anthony McArthur on Dec 17, 2003 at 11:29 AM Instead of ‘President’ Bush, call him ‘Emperor Bush.’ Thus, the Emperor has no:
* sense
* brains
* integrity
* honor

You get the idea.
Posted by Bill Brown on Dec 17, 2003 at 11:41 AM In my writings and observations about Capt. Nut-Crunch, (A title well earned and clearly understood when you view pictures of him in that flight suit,) I always refer to his secret department of OLC. No one in his administration can function without the oversite of OLC. And, no one can issue an oppinion, definition or observation (or craft a bill) without first clearing it with the OLC.
The one problem that everyone in the administration agrees on is the dificulty they have getting Capt. Nut-Crunch to check first with the OLC, causing that screeching and scrambling sound we so often hear eminating from the White House.
So, what is OLC? Well, the Office of Lie Coordination of course...da.
Posted by Louise Page on Dec 17, 2003 at 11:51 AM Some of those were truly classic. . .
“No Tree Left Behind”
“Pay No Attention to the Man in Front of the Curtain”
“The Pretzeldent of the United States”
--> hahaha that was the best - who the hell tries to swallow an entire pretzel without chewing it?!Good point about needing to keep a sense of humor!
P.S to daigu’s post - If the police state comes, see the “Revolution of Roses” in Georgia last month. The protesters went face to face with the soldiers and security forces and handed them roses and kissed them, telling them they loved them. They refused to fire on their own people [despite being ordered to], then started joining the demonstrators. Within 48 hours the President was gone.
I doubt that our own police and national guard would fire on their mothers, sisters and relatives either. . .
But for the ones that do, there is always the 2nd Amendment.
The “Hippies and NRA” ticket could whip Bush’s ass if they could ever get together. . .

You’re talking about something that happened twenty yrs ago. You can’t blame GW for what Rummy did in 83. In fact, Bush was correcting a foreign policy mistake. Was it a big price to pay? yes. But it was worth it, in my opinion
Posted by brad on Dec 17, 2003 at 8:11 PM Arbustito gets my vote. When I was in Uzbekistan, my students often asked me what I thought of “Little Bush.”
Posted by Richard on Dec 17, 2003 at 8:17 PM brad seems like a cranky mofo. Hussein was like any other of the many dictators the US is supporting. Taking out Hussein was convenient when Bush needed to divert attention away form the massive intelligence failures leading up to 9/11. His daddy did something similar with Noriega, as I recall. Makes ya wonder who’ll be next: Karimov? The Saudi’s? That guy in Nigeria?
Posted by Richard on Dec 17, 2003 at 8:21 PM In my opinion,the best name that the Democratic candidates can pin on Bush would be-"President of Mass Deception”.It’s all encompassing,plays on his constant attempt to make our citizens fearful,and could be used to cover all his duplicity and lies on almost every policy decision he and his people have made.
He is the President of Mass Deception on Iraq-the man lied about why we must preemptively attack Iraq,then “decepted"the American people with new reasons when the originals didn’t hold up.
Taxe cuts-deception about who and how affected
Medicare Bill-deception on who it will help,who can’t import cheaper,and when it gets too expensive as a % of general revenues,it will have to be reduced.
He is truly the “President of Mass Deception”

Posted by Boscojones on Dec 17, 2003 at 11:30 PM Mark Latham, the new opposition leader for the Federal Labour Party in Australia, has been hauled over the coals for describing George Bush as one of the most dangerous presidents in recent history. Sadly, Latham is correct, but has been forced to modify his position because the media think it is impolite to tell the truth. Huh? “Seeking the truth is not seeking what is desirable.” Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus. It is about time some media commentators developed some backbone and called a spade a spade. Perhaps paradoxically, most people I speak too think George Bush is the most dangerous man on the planet. Interestingly, Mark Latham is rapidly gaining popularity, possibly because the current prime minister, John Howard, is an arselicker of George, another comment Latham was attacked over. Yet again this is true, Australia has simply towed the line like an obedient puppy. It may take longer in the USA but take heart that in many other countries people are getting very worried about what is happening in America. Most Aussies I speak too speak highly of the average USA citizen but all are very worried about your recent choice of leaders(California!). You have a great country, don’t let it be corrupted by lying leaders who are more interested in satisfying powerful lobbyists than the good of the USA as a whole.
Posted by John Hasenkam on Dec 18, 2003 at 1:53 AM John H.,
There are previews for a movie coming out next month, “Chasing Liberty”, about the daughter of the American president who grows bored with her lifestyle and does whatever she wants, causing “warm-hearted hilarity to ensure”. Anyway, one of the lines in the movie is from the president talking about his daughter. He says, “Why can’t she be like England. They do whatever I tell them to.”
I wonder if George Flubbya thinks Australia is the same yes-man he probably thinks England is. And I wonder how well this line goes over in England.
Posted by neil on Dec 18, 2003 at 3:21 AM brad wake up! you probably believe Oswald killed JFK with three shots from behind. Ask yourself this: why would our imperialistic government allow saddam to testify at his"trial"?
he might just impicate rummy, cheney and the reagan/bushies that financed his weapons and fed his evil empire. I believe saddam has been in place for weeks drugged by his own generals and held for ransom then bushwacked at just the “prime time”. What about the saudi’s escorted out of our country after 9/11? Why does no one ask the real questions of this appointed so called president?
I should live so long to see a “trial” of saddam with rummy and cronies as witnessess for the defense. wake up!!

Get over yourselves. If you Liebrals hate America so badly why don’t you, and Dean and The Clintons all move to the Socialist Workers paradise of Albania? America would be better off without you. We don’t need your hate.
Posted by Kirk Schrader on Dec 18, 2003 at 11:53 AM I consider myself working class and one thing I really hat is some dumb moron handed everything to him on a silver plate because of who his daddy is.
If W. had been born to anyone but Bush Snr and his Nazi banker Grandaddy he would have just been another alcoholic nobody.
Posted by Toby on Dec 18, 2003 at 12:27 PM I agree that a trial for Saddam is useless, since there is no way he is “not guilty”.
But Toby, how do you feel about JFK? Since he would have been a nobody without his father’s riches and mob involvement in texas, illinois, and other states. That’s how the world is.
Posted by brad on Dec 18, 2003 at 12:50 PM Brad is right about the stuff that happened in ‘83 - Bush was just a gleam in the neocons’ eye back then. There are plenty of reasons to dislike Bush for his policies today.
To Kirk Schrader: Do you honestly believe that it’s a worse thing to get oral sex than it is to let your lobbyist friends allow tons of toxic mercury and arsenic into our children’s drinking water? [because that’s what Bush is doing].
Do you honestly believe it’s not okay to get a blowjob but it IS okay to let one of your best friends swindle the American public for hundreds of billions of dollars, wiping out the pensions and retirement funds of elderly people who have nothing left? [because that’s what Bush has done with Ken Lay - a flat-out liar and thief - with Enron]. The list goes on and on. . .
These policies are un-American and anti-family values. People who support policies that hurt families - and that’s you there Kirk - ought to take a good, long hard look in the mirror. We used to have a saying to describe people who don’t love their country [at the risk of offending some here in the room]: America - Love it or Leave it, you Pinko Commie Scumbag.
Go back to 1983 USSR, where they dump sh*it in the environment that makes innocent children sick. Go to Cuba or China where the leaders don’t give a damn about the regular people and votes don’t matter.
This right here is the opposite of hate. . . We love this country more than anything, and it is because of that profound love of freedom that we have the wisdom to question a man who actually lost the last election. Pollution and theft are not family values. If you love your children - or your family - you owe it to yourself to do some research and find the truth beyond the sound bites.
Posted by Ed Mellon on Dec 18, 2003 at 1:16 PM I totally agree that satire is a valuable tool in politics. I remember an interview with Ford’s campaign manager who said that the Chevy Chase/SNL parodies were one of the main reasons Ford lost the election.

Posted by kim on Dec 18, 2003 at 2:21 PM where’s osama?
i really think, from all the info i’ve seen to this point, that w is just a puppet. i don’t think he has a grasp of all that is going on around him. his big mistake was asking cheney to recommend a running mate. cheney of course, recommended himself, and once they were granted the white house, cheney filled the cabinet with his old regan, and project for new american century buddies. so now w gets all his information from this group of idealogues, whom he trusts. these guys can be convincing with their views, and it didn’t take much to get the president in their pocket. after 9-11, which it is becoming increasingly clear, should have been prevented, they changed the way the pentagon (normally a relatively apolitical structure) operates in order to fudge intelligence to make their case for the takeover of iraq - an old necon dish reheated.
so now the military captured saddam - well, yay. i think we’re all in some way relieved to see this thug out of power, for the sake of those he abused. but he was not a threat to the US, he was not committing genocide, and it was illegal for the US to wage a preventive war.
war is the most serious action and is really quite stupid if you take a step back and look at what you’re doing. but i understand this world, so i understand that it is going to happen from time to time, but for god’s sake it should never ever be anything but an absolute last resort.so anyway, where’s osama?
of course, it doesn’t really matter, does it? just like it doesn’t really matter that we captured saddam. there are legions ready to take over for both men. as long as the powerful continue to treat the powerless with carelessness and contempt, there will always be people ready to take advantage of that disparity, and there will always be people ready to kill those taking such advantage.
Posted by mike on Dec 19, 2003 at 12:21 AM Brad’s right about Kennedy, as much as I liked the guy. Daddy wanted to be prez, but his moonshining money stopped that. We’ll never know if Hoffa, Johnson or both killed him and it doesn’t matter at this point.
Kirk Schrader, your comments are so typical and such a robotic response that I thought somebody from Fox News had written it. They’re much like the ignorant rantings from the self-righteous “right” and not worth the keystrokes to respond to except to say this much.
Posted by neil on Dec 19, 2003 at 4:09 AM Ed: you are right about ken lay and the arsenic. But to say that Bush is anti-family values is laughable. He is big on religion and Bill Clinton had the worst family values out of any president, ever (maybe JFK was worse)

Posted by brad on Dec 19, 2003 at 11:23 AM Brad,
Family values are exactly my point. . . how can somebody be FOR toxic pollution and still also be for family values? The two are not compatible, because “pollution” is not some abstract stuff that we just think might be bad for us. . . Mercury and arsenic have been proven beyond the shadow of a doubt to cause birth defects in innocent babies to this day.So, when Bush advocates actually letting MORE of this toxic crap into our children’s drinking water, that seems to me to be the very opposite of family values. Poisoning children is wrong, no matter what church you go to. (I don’t think Bush actually wakes up in the morning and says “I want to hurt children today"), but willful ignorance still brings the same result.
My point is it’s just plain wrong to poison people. . . porkbarrel away, but don’t poison my kids so your buddies can make a fast buck.

Posted by John Medeiros on Dec 20, 2003 at 2:44 PM To add to Ed Mellon’s points,
The fundamental Christianity Bush is practicing is one of intollerance, bigotry and masked racism. When he opens his mouth, the true feelings are revealed. “Crusade”, “Cowards”, “Hit the Trifecta” And this is a remark after so many people died!
As someone said in another article on this site, he woke up on third base thinking he had hit a triple, when daddy & friends carried him there in the first place. Not having been raised in priveledge, I don’t know where he’s coming from, but it’s no excuse to send people off fighting in a war that has divided this nation and cost coutless lives--yet the true cause of 9/11 is still unaddressed, unresolved.
If this war was his only atrocity, then the criticism would only be about that. But his economic record was miserable before the war, he was on vacation for sometimes a month at a time, his environmental policies, VA cuts, appointment of Ashcroft, and horrifying mishandling of Bin Laden only frustrate we who oppose him.
I respect you Brad, and Ty and even Kirk--I know I won’t change your opinion and if I could this easily, I don’t think I’d want to live here.
My instincts tell me this won’t end for the good of the nation. When the housing market bubble bursts, the Federal Reserve will be in deep trouble, as will many of us. I don’t have much to lose because I don’t have much besides this PC, but a lot of people I love, moderate and conservative, will lose a lot.Happy Holidays to all of you, and happy Festivus. I want to break from debating and enjoy the season.

And a good thing it was. There probably wouldn’t be an America today if the preening, contempruous, condescending, patronizing a-hole Gore had been able to stea the election. One of Gore’s first acts after 9/11 would have been to surrender America to either bin Laden or Kofi Anan.
You Liberals will have to cut my arms off to prevent me from voting for George Bush and if you do, I’ll use my feet to vote for Mr. Bush. And if you cut my feet off, I’ll use my nose to vote for George W Bush.
Do you get the message, Lieberals? You’ll have to kill me to prevent me from voting for the one man who stands between freedom and everything that’s decent and you disgusting, intellectual, elitist frauds.
Posted by Kirk Schrader on Dec 21, 2003 at 11:23 AM Kirk Schrader, I wish you a Happy Holidays and a great new year, even though we disagree. Nothing wrong with that.
I also hope the Chiefs go to the Superbowl--would be nice to see. Kind of hope it’s St. Louis and KC.
Posted by neil on Dec 21, 2003 at 8:18 PM “One of Gore’s first acts after 9/11 would have been to surrender America to either bin Laden or Kofi Anan.”—What?!
What a crock of shit! [I just couldn’t let this rediculous fool go unanswered - sorry Neil].
Kirk, since you were unable to answer my last post I’ll repeat it:
“To Kirk Schrader: Do you honestly believe that it’s a worse thing to get oral sex than it is to let your lobbyist friends allow tons of toxic mercury and arsenic into our children’s drinking water? [because that’s what Bush is doing].
Do you honestly believe it’s not okay to get a blowjob but it IS okay to let one of your best friends swindle the American public for hundreds of billions of dollars, wiping out the pensions and retirement funds of elderly people who have nothing left? [because that’s what Bush has done with Ken Lay - a flat-out liar and thief - with Enron]. The list goes on and on. . .
These policies are un-American and anti-family values. People who support policies that hurt families - and that’s you there Kirk - ought to take a good, long hard look in the mirror. We used to have a saying to describe people who don’t love their country [at the risk of offending some here in the room]: America - Love it or Leave it, you Pinko Commie Scumbag.
Go back to 1983 USSR, where they dump sh*it in the environment that makes innocent children sick. Go to Cuba or China where the leaders don’t give a damn about the regular people and votes don’t matter.”
Bush didn’t win. Half a million more Americans voted for the other guy.
--> When you have a COHERENT answer to these questions [and they had better include the history of the Electoral College which may mean you’ll actually have to pick up a book] you may then be worthy to address the group - you ignorant, repellant, odious bag of hate-filled dogshit. Obviously you can only communicate with insults, so maybe this got your attention. Please respond [if you’re able] and maybe we’ll see if you have any brains to back up some of those ludicrous ramblings.
Posted by Ed Mellon on Dec 22, 2003 at 7:52 PM Ed-
SHUT UP. You’re not exactly impressing me with your whining, swear-laden responses. You sound desperate.
Everybody should be limited to one post. What drivel you and Kirk are spilling here in an open forum.
Posted by Ned on Dec 23, 2003 at 9:27 AM Ned,
Wow, You sound a little bitter. It’s only a post room, so see it for what it is: a flame thrown in a very nasty fashion in response to a very nasty post - which was unprovoked I might ad.This person insulted me, so maybe try to lighten up. . .
Reality check: I wish you were impressed with my post - you know it was at the top of my list for Christmas - but nasty people that attack others deserve what they get and by golly sometimes we just have to be the humble instrument of Providence. The rod of correction, as Dickens would say.
So I can’t believe I’m even responding to you, but hey why not. . . It’s all in good fun.
And PS - Why limit posts!? They erase these after about a week, and it’s only an HTML page for criminy’s sakes. The nature of a forum is that a discussion takes place, the nature of which is an exchange of opinions. Nasty? Sure. Serious? Nope. So smile! :) A lively exchange is good for the blood. Hope your holidays get better!

re:dissing dubya- Training Wheels Administration.
Posted by johnnybg on Dec 24, 2003 at 9:03 AM There was a comment about Clinton “coddling terrorists”.
AN OUTRIGHT LIE.
Rumsfeld’s cordial 1983 meeting with Hussein in Baghdad on behalf of the Reagan administration opened up strong diplomatic and military ties between the U.S. government and the dictator that lasted through seven years of his worst brutality.
“Rummy”, a very apt nickname for Rumsfeld, was doing the coddling for President Nancy.
“Dick” is also an apt name for his traitor-ness Cheney. He ought to be in prison for his violations of business dealings with Iraq when sanctions were in place. He made over 500 million on equipment sales when US companies were forbidden to conduct business.I know, not a very merry thing to say on Christmas, but a few more to add to the names.

Posted by Stewart MacMillan on Dec 24, 2003 at 2:16 PM Enjoyed the story, but there are a couple of mistakes…
“… Reagan when he kept chiding Walter Mondale, as if he were an adolescent, with his dismissive mantra ěThere you go again.î
Reagan said that to Carter, not Mondale. Four years later, Mondale did say “There you go again” to Reagan during their debate.
- - - - -
“Alfred E. Neuman already is overdone (though so apt). “
It’s Newman, not Neuman.
Posted by Jack on Dec 25, 2003 at 7:19 AM Also… I just read all the comments… have you ever noticed that you can’t criticize anything about Bush without having the argument switched to Monica or Whitewater? If you’re so certain that Dubya’s doing the right thing, then stick to the subject and debate.
Over 500 US soldiers dead for this war, has nothing to do with Clinton or Gore; over 2000 seriously injured US soldiers, has nothing do with Clinton or Gore. How many dead Iraq and Afghan civilians?
Neocons, your government is ruining the US economy, alienating its allies, killing innocents abroad, and wasting our blood and treasure. But it all looks good on cable news, doesn’t it?
Posted by Jack on Dec 25, 2003 at 7:35 AM Good points, Jack.
What do you think of the job W. did in Texas?Happy holidays. As a late-nighter working on Christmas, it was nice to see a post.
Let’s resolve to vote Bush out in ‘04.

Posted by Rob on Dec 25, 2003 at 11:11 PM I strongly agree that we should strive to make people aware of just how stupid and ignorant this puppet from Texs really is. Supposedly, his mother was using flash cards when he was in junior high. We should jump all over Barbara’s quote that she is ruling the world also.
Posted by Michael Garrett on Dec 26, 2003 at 9:14 AM Electorate: I think W would simply refer to us as his “subjects” or maybe just as “the peasantry”
W in Uniform: G. I. George or maybe Captain Misanthrope (Which reminds me that his next autobiography will probably be more like “How I stayed out of Vietnam but still got to win my own war.") He certainly gives new meaning to the phrase “staging a war.”
The backdrops: How about “The backdroppings”
Posted by BM on Dec 26, 2003 at 6:50 PM I once worked as a substitute teacher in the public school system and found that, more often than not, mocking and ridiculing (with restraint) the troublemakers was more effective than losing your temper and shouting at them. Ridicule, so I’ve found, has the double effect of
1. getting your oponent’s attention and preventing him/her from tuning you out, which is what they tend to do if you shout at them because they expect this
2. deflating (and defanging) them because, in the eyes of their peers, they lose face and so won’t have the support of their peers, which is how they usually operate
With Bush, a two-pronged strategy would be the best. First, the Dems can continue the “angry” thing in order to galvanized the apathetic voter blocs to actually do something. But, the Dems would be smart to them move towards gentle mocking and pointing out the stupidity of Bush and Co.’s actions. However, they also have to do it in such a way so that it’s relatively inoffensive to the larger bloc, but offensive enough to the average Joe/Jane to see that they’re getting screwed. If only the corporatized media were on the Dems’ and progressives’ side, much more could be done in a shorter time.
But, I guess you have to start somewhere.
Posted by TK on Dec 26, 2003 at 11:21 PM After a bit of thought, the name that best fits the leader of this great nation, at least to me, is PEZident. Though when GW tilts back his head and something comes out of his mouth, it is rarely worth the 1/2 cent piece of candy you can receive from a similar intellect like Daffy Duck.
Posted by Matt on Dec 27, 2003 at 12:04 AM Has anyone stopped to consider that, had our duly elected president Al Gore been in the White House, 9/11 might never have happened? Though the Bush Administration has dragged its feet on responding to the 9/11 commission’s repeated requests for information, preliminary indications are that the US had some warning of the terrorist attack. Indeed, the Bushies ignored the outgoing Clinton Administration’s assessment of the considerable threat posed by Al Qaeda. A Gore Administration might have acted on that intelligence whereas the Bushies chose--yes, chose--not to.
I am so everlastingly weary of people saying, “Thank goodness Bush was president on 9/11 and not Gore.” What prompts them to make such an inane statement? The perception that Gore is such a liberal softy he would have apologized to the terrorists because our buildings got in their way? The perception that Bush “stood tall” by bombing Afghanistan (instead of asking the hard questions about Saudi Arabia)? The perception that Bush then bestrode the world like a Colossus by preemptively invading Iraq (instead of finishing the job he started in Afghanistan)? If 9/11 had to happen at all--and I’m not convinced that with Gore in the White House it was inevitable--isn’t it conceivable that Gore might have handled the tragedy better because he is fundamentally a more thoughtful, decent, and wise man than Bush?
I don’t have a nickname for Bush other than the totally unimaginative Bush Lite (or maybe Mini-Me, son of Dr. Evil), but I thing that Operation Iraqi Fiefdom, waged by the Coalition of the Killing, pretty much sums up the war. In the privacy of his spider hole at Camp David, I’ll bet Bush refers to the majority of Americans who believe his lies and, therefore, support his destructive policies as “Bushovers.” And let’s just call those backdrops what they are--blindfolds.

Posted by Angela on Dec 29, 2003 at 1:39 AM I’d prefer to call Bush a “Bushbaby,” a small tree-dwelling primate that feeds primarily on insects. And as for the Bush-supporters who flame this site, every time you endorse him, one of our soldiers dies in Iraq. Have a nice day. They sure aren’t.
Posted by Der Fledermaus on Dec 29, 2003 at 2:18 AM “The Pretzeldent of the United States” is still pretty funny. . . Nobody has to this day adequately explained how a man tries to eat a pretxzel whole, thereby knocking himself unconscious as he falls to the floor from asphyxiation.
And we’re supposed to trust this guy’s judgement?! Maybe over what ballgame to watch next, but not when talking about aggressive pre-emptive force and using the nuclear option first on other countries. It would be really funny if it was fiction and not people’s lives in the balance.
Here’s a line borrowed from Bill Maher: “Remember that to win you only need one less vote than the other guy!”

The fear over a poor economy can always be used to cover a takeover as Hitler knew so well.

Posted by bjones on Jan 5, 2004 at 2:50 AM The venerable term “bushwah” (a polite term for B.S.) definitely needs to be revived for this presidency. You could re-name the president President Bushwah. For that matter, any time one of his administration spokespeople makes a false statement, activists could respond with a derisive chant of “Bushwah, bushwah! Ha, ha, ha!”
Posted by Peter Wong on Jan 5, 2004 at 12:58 PM judi, did you call them “deliberate blundering of the economy”?
wow, you have some high standards. If the biggest growth in the economy in twenty years isn’t good enough, what is?
Posted by brad on Jan 5, 2004 at 4:43 PM Well brad, you may think the only measure of a good ecomony is in growth of paper wealth for the rich but I think of workers laid off so corporations and the rich can make more money, plants moved overseas so they can pay VERY low “wages” and avoid environmental laws. These things are not going to go away so people like you can pretend that everything is alright. And it is a fact that letting things get worse by doing nothing is often used by politicians to scare people into doing anything they want. That was the point of my arguement. Enjoy your money now - the present globalization is move is a self destructing system and it won’t hit only us down here. Your group has much farther to fall!!
Posted by judi wills on Jan 7, 2004 at 2:46 AM Bush’s nickname should be dumbfuck I do whatever my daddy tells me to do. We all know the Iraq war is not about liberating Iraqis but liberating our oil that somehow ended up under Iraq’s ground. Bush is a selfish dictator, he is not smart at all, he can barely speak without his advisers. You don’t see him doing too many press conferences. Who knows what kind of words he will make up. We captured Saddam, now if someone can only capture Bush the world might be a little safer. Bush is dumb and anyone who votes for Bush is either really stupid (aka “NASCAR DADS") or just really rich and enjoy the fat tax cuts he gives to the upper class. Fuck this guy, we need regime change.
Posted by CORBIN DALLAS on Jan 7, 2004 at 3:30 PM I am appalled at the way Bush seems to think the wealth of the U.S. is bottomless. Does he actually believe he can finance a war in Iraq, defend the homeland, AND go to Mars at the same time? He won’t stop until he totally bankrupts the country! Or is Iraqi oil going to pay for it all.
I think a good nickname for him is Rub-A-Dub-Dubya.
Posted by Margaret Todd on Jan 10, 2004 at 8:34 PM Paul O’Neill said it best: Bush at his cabinet meetings is like “the blind leading the deaf.”
O’Niell is the same man who was castigated for pointing out the obvious, that a trillion-dollar deficit is bad for the country’s future. Most conservative-minded folks would agree that having 25% of your national - or household - budget go up in smoke just to servicing interest debt is a bad idea. That’s like flushing 1 out of every 4 dollars we pay in income taxes right down the toilet.
What has happened to all the conservatives with common sense? If we could point out the irony of a man that’s never held a working job doing this country’s finances, it would explain alot of the madness that’s been happening in Washington.
[**Note: and when your first job is CEO of your own company that your dad’s friends ponied up the cash for, that’s not a working job - especially if you go bankrupt. Neither is your second job real if your dad’s friends hire you to manage your home town baseball team. This man has no idea what 99.9% of this nation has to live with on a daily basis, or what it’s like to feel the unbelievable terror of being laid off when you have a family].
This corruption has to go for the sake of our children and our grandchildren. Let’s put aside our differences and send these assholes packing.
Posted by Ed Mellon on Jan 13, 2004 at 7:16 PM After reading the responsese I believe that there are really some basic; non-angry sounding nicknames available. The key is to rob the Bush administration of all seriousness. In this nicknames that attack strongly comeback upon those who attack. I think the best nickname proposed so far is the Emperor. 1st GWB would most likely enjoy it and bite right on to it. As Emperor, citizens, of course, become subjects. Government policies become Imperial decrees aimed at benefiting the nobles.
Considering this is a fairly accurate description of the Bush administration, it should fly.Also instead of arguing angrily about his oppressive policies, dub him the Witty Emperor and laugh at his ‘attempts’ at humor - disguised as political speech and policy.

Posted by Dubyafree on Jan 19, 2004 at 2:22 PM It is with much amusment that I read this article and wondered what nick would be suitable for the Bushster. I think that the “moron” sentiment that was passed along by one of our former government officials would have been an apt description. When this hit the headlines here, the official was made to aplogize and was re-assigned. The sound of laughter from most Canadians, however, could be heard right to the north shore of Lake Winnipeg and beyond. (Check an atlas) Thing is, what do you call an un-elected President who took his country to war with a despot ruled Arabian country that posed no threat to the American homeland nor to it’s allies in a region where none exist?( Ok, I’ll grudingly agree that Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, The UAE, and Saudi Arabia are “allies” of a sort.) What do you call a man who is a member of an exclusive club who’s members have hijacked the American taxpayers for billions of dollars? As much as I think that Dubya is a moron, that name is totally inadequate for a man that has single handedly hoodwinked the American public, ok he had help but no matter. There is a cunning underneath that intense exterior. Right now he is CEO of AmeriCorp and CEO stands for Cheif Executing Officer. But he is also a puppet for those that are really in power behind the scenes. Maybe puppet head would be a good moniker.
