Nic watch

I'm kind of hoping this will become a regular feature. The creative nicknames for Bush are starting to get really funny. Last week, we graduated from Chimpy McHitlerburton to President Chimplerburton Gitmostein courtesy of Iowahawk.

This week brings two new gems via Tim Blair:

Smirkler the Hurricane Monkey

Chimpeachment W. Turkeyburton

Does it get any better than the second one? My bet is that it will in the coming months.

Stay tuned.

UPDATE: Thanks for stopping by Tim Blair readers. There are some interesting examples of blind hate, depression, and helplessness in the comment section, including this one from Murph:

Chimp-enHawk von DisenfranchizoGraib

Note the dangerous use of both monkey and chickenhawk in the opener. The dual animal insult is gracefully achieved and blended perfectly into the subtle german "von." Just add water and, voila! Instant Nazi.

Disenfranchise obviously applies to everyone on the planet, none of whom are immune to the suffering wrought by the Bush administration. Finally, a literary image of the greatest human rights violation ever, guilt for which, of course, goes all the way to the top.

A hate so vile and pure it actually makes me nauseous. With a nickname like that ol' Chimpy is going to have a tough time getting reelected in 2008.

UPDATE: Seemingly taking the advice of Ric L., Tom D. takes the less is more approach to the Bush nickname.

Pain

Far be it from me to predict future trends in nicknames, but might I be the first to suggest that short is the new long?

UPDATE: Might as well link the post that started it all. Read Chimpfest 2005, the definitive collection of historical references to Chimpy and all of his degradations.
