I hope this isn't because he can't remember anyone's real name.

"Ah, you know who I mean. That big black fellah we made secretariat of state. Whatshisname over there with the big feet."

"That's Mr. Powell, sir."

"Yeah, whatever. You go tell ol' Balloonfoot I need to see him about sump'n."

How did "Chappy" (GWB's reported nickname for Sen. Ted Kennedy) disappear from this list?

Sen. Olympia Snowe "The Big O"

Gotta like that! The Big O. Wonder if she finds that offensive. You'd think someone hip in the administration might have picked up on that!

I wonder what he calls Jim Jeffords.
Probably "traitor."

I personally would like to know his nickname for Sen. Hillary Clinton, and perhaps Al Gore .....
