Do you think bush* is going nuts because CBS keeps referring to him

[acmavm]

as Mr. bush* and not pResident bush*

I went to the CBS website and read the story about how their standing by their reports on the documents and Barnett. And they kept referring to pResident Unelected as Mr. Bush.

That has got to be making him crazy. He's let people have it for that before. "President bush* to you" is a remark I can remember him directing at a reporter, but I just can't recall the circumstances.

1. that's much better than what I call him

but you're right.. you know it makes him even crazier than he already is.

I love it.

[Nite Owl]

2. It was at some press conference a few

months ago. Wish I could remember who that was.

[pelagius]

3. It's his correct title

The President can be correctly as addressed as "Mr. Bush" or "Mr. President". My source: Emily Post.

[speedoo]

6. What does Emily think of "F***ing coward"?

I think it's important to find out, since that is the most precise, to the point thing I can say about him.

[pelagius]

11. The "cut direct"

Judith Martin ("Miss Manners") states the most extreme weapon the excruciatingly correct can use is the "cut direct". It is executed thusly -- make signficant enough visual contact the cuttee that s/he knows you know s/he is there. Then look and/or walk away. Refuse to be engaged in conversation.

I think an internal muttering of "lying sack of shit" would probably increase the effect, but if you break the silence you only look rude.

But, then, who cares if a fucking coward thinks you're rude.

[smirkymonkey]

21. LOL! I am sure she would make an exception

in this particular case.

But I think the correct term would be MR. F***ing Coward. :evilgrin:

[acmavm]

9. No, that's Al Gore's correct title.

4. what.ever ...

he has always, is, and forever shall be *moron to me.

and btw, it's SENATOR KERRY, ya mediawhores.

5. Condi must have insisted on being called "Dr. Rice"

because that is what I hear her called all the time.

[cthrumatrix]

8. Dr. Liar would be more appropriate....

[elehhhhna]

15. Chips-ahoy for all the moley-moles

7. Etiquette generally says to first call a president

"President Jones" (for example) and after that "Mr. Jones" is fine.

Bush stole the 2000 election, and so general etiquette shouldn't restrict our names for him.

Other names Bush can be called are:

The Fraud
The Thief
etc.

10. it's just Chicago Manual/AP style

they didn't complain when they did the same thing to Clinton.

IMO, to please these knuckleheads we would be better off addressing the Shrub as "Our Father" or "Lord Savior" or "Your Royal Highness."

[antigone382]

12. Every time I hear a reporter say "Mr. Bush"

A brief smile of satisfaction crosses my face.

[Beetwasher]

13. He Chided A Reporter Once For NOT Calling Him President

I imagine it bothers him since he has to have President or CNC on everything he wears. I hope Kerry calls him MR. in the debates. He just might lose it and blow his stack.

[strategery blunder]

16. It would be blowback from 2000

when bu$h* refused to address Vice President Gore by name, calling him "my opponent."

[City Lights]

14. I hope so. He needs to be pushed until he cracks in public.

Anyway anyone can needle him is fine by me.

[DinahMoeHum]

17. Well, hell, I NEVER call him president, either.

It's always "George W. Bush"

Not even "Mr." That title is reserved for gentlemen only, and he ain't that.

:evilfrown:

[Skidmore]

18. Bet it does, since he apparently has his staff and family

refer to him as "the president" everytime they speak of him.

I crack up everytime they refer to Saddam as "The Dictator", as if not mentioning his name negates his presence any more than emphasizing *'s title enhances his.

[murray hill farm]

19. Sure...that is the thing that is making him crazier right now!

ego maniac that he is! However...it is not what is freaking his "staff"....hehehehe! They must be freaking big time right now...pulling their hair...swearing...snarling...whining..plotting. Kind of ugly to picture...and not just a little scary.

[ghostsofgiants]

20. ...

I won't even call him "Dubya". I just call him "Dub".
