Political Nicknames

I just saw in another thread a reference to Slick Willie, a little term of endearment for Bill Clinton. In an earlier time, we had Tricky Dick Nixon.

I think it's time for us to have a thread for proposed nicknames for the bumper crop of political clowns in (or trying to be in) office today.

Might I offer "The Wicked Witch of the West" for Nancy Pelosi?

    and under the letter I (not L) in your link, above:::

    "It's Atlas Shrugged: The conditions in which
    'hard work and creativity' are penalized by
    government policy, resulting in economic disaster,
    as depicted in Ayn Rand's novel, Atlas Shrugged."

    It wouldn't surprise me if somebody did arrange exactly that. They were released on Reagan's inauguration day.

    Of course their creation, ObamaCare, had trouble getting up from the table and tap-dancing....

    Her already petrified face would crack -- revealing Jimmy Hoffa inside. Kind of like the Dark Lord growing out of Quirrell's head....

    Have you seen Connecticut Representative (D)) Rosa De Lauro? Let's reserve the Wicked Witch of the West subriquet for her.

    I've always been amazed that 'Earnest' would go into PR work, but you have pithily played it, thanks.

    Nixon = Evil
    Clinton = Eviler
    Obeyme = Evilist or Evilest

    Yes it's spelled correctly

    Lyndon B for Butcher Johnson is the real entry. The rest was just for fun

    "Hillarity." Someone made for mockery.

    You know, in ancient Norse, you always used kennings for things because if you said the real name of something, say, "mouse" and you were aboard ship, it would 'call' all of the mice to your ship (which you did not want). So you made up a delightful poetic name for them: "wall-moose".

    We are making kennings...so that we do not invoke the beasts to come among us. Poetry is long lived in our cultural memory, no?

    Not for folks like these. They take pride in the title, so they clearly don't see a problem. Makes you wonder.

    Igor might be a better moniker for Pelosi, since she was such a good servant to Obama, not even bothering to read what she was voting for. Obamacare can be the monster, and Obama can be the "doctor."

    I was calling the Clintons "Hill Billery" back in the 90s. Nothing's changed.

    Just last night I said, "President Obozo".

    I also use "Billary", and "Boner".

    Locally we have an assembly member named "Pan". I call him "Bed Pan" much to the delight of many of the locals.
