These guys are pikers when it comes to making points off of names. "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell referred to Chennault's publicity officer, Joseph Alsop, who would later faithfully serve Joe McCarthy, as "Allslop." Churchill is apocryphally quoted as commenting unfavorably on Eisenhower's Secretary of State: "Dull, Duller, Dulles." If you're going to engage in schoolyard taunts, they should at least be clever schoolyard taunts.

Sean Hackworth, how could you ever call someone as brilliant as Rush Limbaugh a radio yapper, dude he would smoke any one, or any group of liberal jackasses, donkeylovers, and or monkeyworshipers that you put before him. I got an idea how about a debate, say maybe with all of the new Nazi order democrat presidential candidates vs. Good ole Rush, man now that would be a hoot. oh and what you call names I call creative labels for the truth, every time you turn around a liberal tries to censor your free speech , what the world coming to?

"Jindal brushes it off as a “silly schoolyard tactic.” " Doesn't this prove his lack of political competence? Is it not true that the most effective and usually the only political tactics used in campaigning are "silly schoolyard tactics"

If the worst thing they can call him is his real name, they're sure grasping at straws.

On a lesser level I'm annoyed when Republians use the word "Democrat" as an adjective. They opposed the "Democrat Party." They oppose the "Democrat plan." It used to be just party hacks, now radio yappers like Rush Limbaugh employ the petty, juvenille slur.

Louisiana Democrats are unofficially disowned by the rest of the party, but perhaps that should be made official ....

Democrats ought to be ashamed for resorting to the sort of racist appeals they rightly condemn when directed against Obama and other Democrats.

Damn straight...

"Slick Willy" was not invented by Republicans, it was coined by Paul Greenberg, Editorial page editor, Arkansas Democrat Gazette, in 1980.
