Nicknames for the Candidates!

[robsul82]

C'mon, everyone has some favorite nicknames for the various men running for the Democratic nomination. This isn't a thread for insults, more or else blowing off steam. SHARE your input, I don't care if it's anti-Dean or whatever. Here's my picks -

Howard Dean - Ho-Ho the Angry Dwarf
John Kerry - NOT HOWARD DEAN!!!!!!!!!!
Dick Gephardt - MC Powder
Joe Lieberman - Rave Master Lieb
Dennis Kucinich - Captain Loopyloo
Wesley Clark - Blinky the Two-Eyed General
John Edwards - Mouseketeer #3

Carol and Rev. Al, well. I got nothin'.

9. What are the Republican nicknames?

I know they call Kerry "Lurch" and Kucinich "Spock." I think they've tried "Nikita" with Dean, but it isn't really sticking.

Dean--Dr., the AntiFrist (viz.,a non-psychotic M.D.)
Kerry--Eddie? after the Leno appearance yesterday
Gephardt--Grab Bag (don't know what you'll get, Rose Garden or fair-trade unionist)
Lieberman--Willie Tanner, Sidious (after the resemblances), the Red and the Green (Green Lieberman, Republican Lieberman, his two halves)
Clark--"General--I can't name the General. General," after *'s failing to recall the name of Pervez Musharraf.
Edwards--Grab Bag (again, either war support or trustbusting)
