KitchenWitch's Stupid Question O' the Day

[KitchenWitch]

Why is Laura called Pickles?

1. From what I can gather...

... here and in the press, it's Dubya's endearment. I would guess that "Pickles" is just one more of the nicknames he gives people; in this case, it's probably meant to suggest that she's a sourpuss, likely because she was, in his days of dissolution, disapproving of his behavior.

Cheers.

2. I have a pic someone sent me that might explain it...

...but it'd get me banned for sure if I posted it.

5. I think that I saw that pic!

3. Because she ....

killed her ex-boyfriend with her car.

I don't know, I just like to remind everyone that she killed a guy and some people say she may have been drunk when she did it. I also heard the rumor she used to sell dope while in college.

4. good idea

It's okay for repugs to have DUIs and vehicular manslaughters. Rules apply to everyone but them.

11. Yes, especially when...

the First Lady operated a motor vehicle in a irresponsible manner, possibly while under the influence of alcohol, hurdled through a stop sign and killed a teenage boy. She says it was a horrible accident but, I feel she's just another repug who will not take responsibility for her actions.

6. She's sour, green and has pimples?

7. Because she's always in a pickle? Because she stays pickled?

Because her buffoon of a husband calls her that for whatever dumb reason he has? (this one)

8. You Do Yourselves No Honor By Being So Petty.

Is there any difference between what is being done here and "Trash Limbaughski?"

9. Okay. Why does he call her pickles?

And why does she let him call her pickles? Because, if anyone tried to call me pickles, things would get real ugly, real fast.

10. Dick Van Dyke

I thought Laura was called Pickles in a reference to Buddy's wife, Pickles, on the Dick Van Dyke show. You know, the wife that was never seen -- always absent.
