I recommend we call Jeb Bush "Topiary"

[Recursion]

Given that W was "Shrub", it seems only fitting.

1. I vote for Hedge.

They hope he will act as a hedge against the unwashed masses (that's us).

Hedge your bets
Hedge hog
Hedge fund

Hedge Words

We’ve seen them, we’ve used them, those words that pull us back from the edge, that keep us from laying out our emotions, actions or descriptions in full, unapologetic fashion.

What are these words that restrain us and confine our emotions?

I call them hedge words. As writers, we produce a scene and infuse it with passion and high tension and then, bam! we back off. As if we’re ashamed of the emotion we’ve let loose.

11. Good one

I couldn't get a word in Hedgewise.

[TexasProgresive]

19. You are just as good.

We could call all of his various scandals Hedgegate. Especially the buying of Enron stock for the Fla pension fund.

[merrily]

2. Topiary needs creativity, a vision, a plan and effort. The Bush lads are not known for any of those

I lean more towards something like Baby Bush.

[ret5hd]

3. Maybe "Scrub" then.

[MH1]

4. "Bro Bush" or "Bush Bro"?

[tosh]

21. Maybe just "Brush"...

as in "Scrub Brush".

10. Bonsai Bush

See below.

6. Topiary was the online name of a hacker for Lulzsec.

He was arrested by the Feebs, and pled guilty to a bunch of stuff.

I only remember b/c Anonymous had a "Free Topiary" campaign going on for awhile and I thought the name was cool.

[DCBob]

7. Ha.. nice.

maybe Jshrub.

[hatrack]

8. I recommend "Steaming, Runny Pantload"

I mean, let's cut to the chase, right?

[hootinholler]

9. How about Bonsai?

A tree that might have grown great were it not controlled by outside forces.

[JHB]

13. That implies a hearty source material...

...which is not in evidence.

[hootinholler]

15. It's very much in evidence

How else does one accomplish so much evil as Prescot's family? Hearty doesn't mean good.

[JHB]

16. Doesn't really matter (in the context of this thread)...

There's always room for things to call him. Doubtless more will reveal themselves.

None of them flattering.

[Jefferson23]

12. This thread is great..very funny. n/t

[IDemo]

14. "Arbushto"

Spanish for bush, with an H thrown in to make it unmistakable.

[hedda_foil]

17. That would work better if Shrub and the Saudis hadn't owned an oil company named Arbusto.

[IDemo]

18. That's actually what brought it to mind n/t

[UTUSN]

20. Given that Poppy is the bush, all the spawn are "shrubs". So the eldest is "Shrub," and JEB is

"JEB Crow Shrub" referring to the election thievery of Coup-2000 (Jim CROW).

[3catwoman3]

22. How about...

...Flub?

[lonestarnot]

23. I'm sticking with Bushitler.
