Bushie and The Big O

[lady lib]

AKA Laura Bush and Olympia Snowe.

What did you think I meant?

Anyhow, here's a list of nicknames granted by Commander Bunnypants - who has himself accumulated quite the collection of appellations around here.

File this under worthless, but mildly amusing information:

BTW, Barbara Boxer is "Ali." Pretty dang clever, eh?

1. Doesn't he sometimes refer to Laura as the "lump in the bed?"

I've never understood why * can't just call people by their given names. The nicknames seem pretty childish and demeaning.

Love the list, BTW!

2. The nicknames ARE childish and demeaning.

That's the point. People are bullied by him into buying the idea that it's "cute" that he does it, but it's a demeaning, belittling tactic.

(I had a boss who did that. Hated it.)

5. Yeah, for some reason "lump in the bed" didn't make it on the list,

but then again, neither did "pickles." I agree with you and Lindsay about it being childish and demeaning behavior, particularly when used by someone in a position of power over those he's characterizing.

Glad you loved the list, Suich. :hi back at you:

3. When I saw Big O...

I thought, please God, don't give Bush a Big Black Megadeus! Whew, glad I was wrong...

4. It is a way to overcome his own deep insecurity

.... by belittling and demeaning people in a passive aggressive way. There is a core of deep shame and anger in that man.

6. I couldn't agree with you more, cassiepriam.

7. The man is a study in psychopathology....

and he keeps getting more and more complex as time goes by.
