I know this seems like a stupid question, and, I'm sure it is, but I keep seeing headlines all over with a certain nickname for Rove that I thought was created by the Left. Then, tonight, Jon Stewart says - that's the PRESIDENT's nickname for Rove . Was Stewart kidding? What is Rove's nickname?
Do you guys know?
Is a mean nickname but a cant remember...
Turdblossom
What did Stewart say Roves nickname was? Fartknocker? I think thats what it is....
So - it IS a mean nickname. I am really surprised at that!!! Rove is so smart. That mean nickname does not seem to suit him at all, IMO.

YEP! Its not Fartknocker! its Turdblossom LOL i got confused. :D
It stems from a Texan slang term for a flower that grows in cow manure
Yes, that's what is in all the headlines now - but I really thought the LEFT came up with that. So, I guess it's true. I think maybe we should come up with a better nickname for Karl Rove!
Re your post #9 - I had no idea it had any sort of history to it!
ahh its a joke. Bush and obviously Karl has a good sense of humor.
It is not intended as "mean" nickname.
Yes, I am sure they share a sense of humor.
what, you thought that it was just some nonsensical name that someone came up with just for Rove? Every real nickname has some reasoning behind it - including the name Noodle
But, when you don't know the history for it, and you don't know it's the President's nickname, and you're just seeing it in all these headlines, well, it sounds VERY mean!
Poop Petunia?
It can't be "the swimmer", cuz that's taken.
