Poll question: What's your Favorite Bush* Acronym
Edited on Sun Oct-05-03 02:02 PM by zekeson
There are man to pick from. Ran across the Scabby Little Friend from Texas one in a thread today about how Blair is not welcome at Bristish memorial services for war dead since he and his scabby little friend in Texas killed the man's son.

Of course whistle-ass comes from the wonderful obituary of a remarkable lady whose family asked that all contributions go to helping defeat Bush* who Sally ___ (anyone have that story) referred to as Whistle-ass.

Shrub comes from Molly Ivins. If memory serves it goes back to her thoughts that he is just a pipsqueak and not even a full bush. Correct me if I messed up on this one or any others....

Molly also gets credit for All Hat, no Cattle.


I know I am missing a few

4. Not 'acronym', perhaps 'nickname' is the word to use

5. ya, I hate to pick nits, but.....
an acronym is a pronouncible word formed from the initials of several words, like scuba or sonar.
