2. * is good
B**h is always careful because he only has 1*. (say it aloud)

BTW- I got my Vote Kerry Bumper sticker from my pastor who is a Catholic priest and if Kerry showed up he'd get Holy Communion- you betcha!

3. Didn't Kurt Vonnegut
point out that an asterisk looks like an @$$hole? What could be better?

6. I was going to say that...* is perfect
Vonnegut used it as an illustration of an asshole. I think if you stop looking at is as an asterisk, and began looking at it as an asshole, you'll see it the perfect symbol for Bush.

4. Nah
It looks as close to a puckered up orifice as we get in polite society.

And if you look at the * and compare it the enlargement of the mosaic tiles below, you will most certainly see what I mean.
(Warning: lewd rude crude pic of *)

7. Just think of the * as...
... a puckered bunghole, and you'll be OK.

12. How about "!"
Bush is definitely alarming. The exclamation point captures that.

13. The reason for the asterisk is because
Bush* was not elected. He is not President Bush, he is President Bush*.

If they make our future history books honestly, the books would read the Bush* name with the asterisk to highlight that the election was stolen by this sociopath. He may be the sitting POTUS, but he is the appointed POTUS*. Hence, the asterisk.

I'm looking forward to the day this lazy, lying and cruel deserting asshole gets his comeuppance.

Bush is "he who shall not be named".
