Where did the word "Dubya" come from?

[Mule]

I know it referes to George W. Bush but how and why do all the news media call him Dubya?

 

[FrogDog]

They're making fun of the way he talks.

 

[RossMAN]

A friend of mine says "dub dub dub dot whatever dot com" he says dub instead of w whenever spelling a URL, LOL!

 

[Optimus]

George Double-U Bush

Double U - Dubya

 

[NFS4]

1) B/C he makes a big deal about his middle name, hence the "W"
2) He always flashes up three fingers to form a "W"
3) His middle school esque vocabulary equates to the "dubyah"

 

[Imported]

Dubya B as in WB the TV station?

Apparently you've never heard anyone from Texas speak. That is pretty much the way their way or pronouncing the letter W.

Need I remind you that GWB does have a degree from both Harvard and Yale?

It's a shame what money and your daddy being a political leader can get you these days.

You presuppose everyone in TX talks with a Southern Drawl and end their sentences with an emphatic &quot;yee-haw!&quot;. Not so. It's a persistent stereotype. One I'm sure the True Drawlers take advantage of. Somehow that stupit Dubya managed to secure the most prized position in America. Daddy's money and luck? Yeah, sure.

Bush. Love him. Hate him. Not satisfied after 4 years? Vote him out. You will do it, you know. When the D Spinmachine gears up in 2003 your brain will be washed like my old pair of sweatpants in an oversized Sear's Kenmore. The Rs are on defense which they never play well and the Ds will be on the attack something they perfected during and after the Raygun years.

Need I remind you the difference between &quot;smart&quot; and &quot;educated&quot;?

It's called connections/the back door/having a powerful dad.

 

[Modeps]

isnt Dubya a Polish word?

Speaking from experience JB? Speak for yourself dumbsh!t. Don't try telling us what our brains will be. You have no idea.

[Boogak]

Is it just me or is it painful to watch Dubya try to hold a conversation on tv?

 

[Spamela]

it's texas-speak for &quot;election-stealer.&quot;

<< Speak for yourself dumbsh!t. Don't try telling us what our brains will be. You have no idea. >>

element, the fact you took offense to a harmless post not even directed at you means you have some serious issues to work through. Good luck.

 

[fdiskboy]

ROFL, Jelly.

Isn't it funny, people still act like W. is a fruitcake, when he is slowly winning over the Democrats in the Senate, even Ted Kennedy, for crying out loud.

The man knows what he's doing. The losers around here are still suffering from sour grape syndrome.

 

[JellyBaby]

fdiskboy,

Agreed. A have a major problem with people who hate others &quot;just because&quot;. In this case just because they're R. These folk are quite conditioned to do so, which is sad. We seem to be losing the ability to think for ourselves these days.

Basically the biggest Bush stink so far as been with giving faith-based charities access to federal monies and with controversy over ashcroft. Granted, the term is young but so far there's really been nothing to rip Bush onyet...but that isn't stopping some slugs here from secreting copious amounts of slime...
