How do you refer to Bush when talking or thinking about him?
Do you think "Whistle Ass".
Or "Chimp"
Or "*"
Or "Resident-in-Chief"
Or "Moran-in-Chief"
or (more politely) by his name?
or something else?

Typically, I think of him as a "one-man wrecking crew".

3. Here, I refer to him as *, since it's accurate...
...but in conversation, I refer to him as President Bush. Sadly, he is. Illegitimate, yes, but he IS the President right now.

18. That Man
said in the right tone of voice, there's no mistaking who I mean.

Also, the current occupant of the WH; the current president; the chief administrator of the federal executive branch (yes, a bit windy, but great for acting pretentious)

20. Various things ...
depending on my mood or who I'm with if it's a conversation. Never, ever, not once have I referred to him as "President". He didn't earn the title and doesn't, imo, deserve to addressed as such.

Face it, nothing else comes close to calling someone you're pissed at a G****e W. B**h.

"Son of a Bush" seems to work, as well.

Bush the Lesser or Bush the Incompetent.

38. Depends on the company I'm in.....
When I'm in mixed company (read: groups with Neocons, Fascists, Republicans and Freeper) I make a point to refer to him as "Our President", stressing the word 'our' to counter-point Trent Lott's, "*Your* President" (and the point is usually taken).

However, when I'm with my own pals and friends, I call him "Chimpy McShrimp-pants", so uniquely coined by someone on DU. It's just so fun to say :)

But there's nothing polite about it. I say "Bush" with the same type of emphasis and connotation as when I say “Shit”.

46. It's nearly impossible to get me to refer to him as "president"
Occasionally I catch myself using the words "the president" when I refer to Bush. It's a bad habit.

Usually I refer to him as "Bush." Here at DU, however, I might refer to him as "the Simian One." Check out bushorchimp.com to see what I mean!

48. among my friends, it's "That Man"

With a slight emphasis on "man" as if it's a questionable description. (One distinguished 50-something woman I know glanced at the Baghdad turkey photo and sniffed, "at least they can still claim the food was untouched by human hands".)

Someone can come into the room and say, without any preamble, "I can't believe the amount of damage that man has done in just 3 years", and everybody knows right away what it means.

When in front of students, I refer to him as "Mr. Bush", appending a mini-version of the "Al Gore sigh".

52. 'Our Idiotic president"
until I can gauge what people think of him.. I deal with a lot of people with many political philosophies. I try not to anger too many people, but for the ones who love him, I am always ready to drop some VERIFIABLE "bad news" on them.. Gotta jumpstart the brain cells sometimes :)

I never repeat talking points, even if they are ours.. I like to give them "food for thought"..

My most recent one is..

"Gee, I hope you have lots of money set aside to help your (mother, father, grandma, grandpa) since the medicare drug benefit will end up costing them way more money than they are spending now, and they won;t even be ABLE to self insure anymore.."

That usually garners a "What do you mean?".. Then I direct them to a source where they can read more about it..


Badmouthing someone they claim to love, will not win them over.. They need to be taken by the hand and shown the evidence.. They will decide on their own, that they hitched their wagon to a dead horse..:)
