Nine Billion Names of *?
I need some help here.

I'm on a (non-political) mailing list where the adminsitrators just ruled that one cannot refer to the current occupant of the White House as the "POTUS" because the term is insulting. (But what if the POTUS was appointed by the SCOTUS?)

I'd like to point out to the administrators that POTUS isn't insulting, especially when compared to some of the other names * is called. I'd like as full a list as possible. So far, I have the following:

Dubya
Dumbya
Shrub
Usurper
His Fraudulency
Chimp
Smirk
Pretzel Boy
King George II
The Global Village Idiot
Fratboy
King Frat
Chimpy McCokespoon
Whistle-Ass
Captain Crotchsock

Could you please add any names I may have forgotten? Thanks!

While you're at it, remind these people what POTUS breaks down into:

President
Of
The
United
States

It's not supposed to be an insult.

7. Matter fact...
...the first time I heard it explained by someone, they mentioned that it was on some military organizational chart.

25. Saw POTUS many times on the chart and in person
...something about being in the USAF Band exposed me to it. Wonder what that was?

It's perfectly legitimate.

28. If you ask me...
Edited on Sat Oct-25-03 04:56 PM by leyton
If you ask me, "POTUS" is even more respectful than just calling him "Bush," in terms of the dignity of the office (the person and his policies aside). It is, after all, his title. If you were a teenager in high school, you might call a peer by his or her last name (as in, "Hey, Fox, get over here!"). But when referring to a President in any formal communication, in my opinion, one should either say "POTUS" or, at least once, use the person's title with their name.

12. I'm partial to "Chimpy McFlightSuit," myself.
Hope you choose to add that to the "POTUS" list.

May I ask, rather cordially, why you remain subscribed to such a list? }(

15. It's not a political list...
...and most of the rules limiting political name-calling were instituted in response to several right-wingers ignoring its non-political nature and trying to turn it into Free Republic Junior. I would say most of the rules instituted make a lot of sense, however, the notion of "POTUS" being insulting strikes me as rather odd.

Because money seems to be all he really cares about. Fundraising trips on the way to Asia AND on the way back? That's just ridiculous.
