Baghdad parents name baby boy after Bush
http://www.startribune.com/stories/1451/4066369.html

His parents named their six-week-old son George Bush, to show their appreciation for U.S. efforts to get Saddam Hussein out of power.

If the couple had had twin boys -- the other baby would have been named Tony Blair, because the father says both the U.S. and Britain liberated Iraq.

:puke:

1. Whew!
For a minute there, I was envisioning a darling little Iraqi baby named "Whistle Ass."

23. Sally Baron
a Wisconsin woman in her 70's (I think) died a week or so ago. She detested Bush* and would refer to him as a whistle ass. Her children, God bless them, asked that memorials go to any group working to defeat Bush* in 2004.

2. That poor kid...
Edited on Thu Aug-28-03 03:15 PM by GainesT1958
Really unfair of his folks to do that to him. He's going to be a target of some pretty bad taunting while he grows up--strikes me as being the Iraqi version of Johnny Cash's song "A Boy Named Sue"! :eyes:

B-)

21. Probably more than taunting in Iraq...
There will be someone there that will do more than taunt the child.

15. Re: Kids rebel anyway
This one nearly killed me. Blowback, you gotta love it, evidently, neo-cons do.

Naming a kid President Doofus can't be good for Iraqi nationalism. I'd say bullies would beat him up and take his lunch money, but chances are he's never gonna have any money to take anyway.

4. Is it his?
Does it belong to "shrimpy" or "daddy"? Oh, I forgot, "shrimpy" can't get it up - can't be his - heard he takes viagra.

18. How much did this cost us? Like any Iraqi wants their baby assassinated!
What kind of fools do The Bush Crime Family think Americans are? Certainly the the world as whole see this bullshit with a 80% plus against Bush polling rate.
