13. I like names that rhyme with what somebody is...
... like a cannibal named "Hannibal Lechter," or the old Toronto Blue Jays catcher "Pat Fletcher."

For Bush, I'd suggest "Cupid Hunt."

Hey, the liberal light is always on at the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Please stop by and say "hi!"

5. I think that's pretty standard
First mention is "President Bush" and subsequent mentions in the same story are "Mr. Bush."

11. Exactly correct. That's the prescription in ABC's "stylebook".
No news here.
