Bush's cat India gets Indians enraged

By Indo-Asian News Service

Thiruvananthapuram, July 2 (IANS) Angry youths in this Kerala capital Friday burnt an effigy of US President George W. Bush, not because they are anti-American but because he has named his cat India.

Members of the citizens group Prathikarana Vedi assembled before the Kerala assembly saying that Bush calling his cat India was an insult to the country.

"This is a disgrace to our great country and this has come from none other than US President George W. Bush. This is nothing but an insult to India because there are hundreds of thousands of Indians in US, and many who occupy key posts in the White House," said M.A. Latheef, president of the group.

"He should make amends," Latheef added.

The members of the group walked to the front gate of the assembly building but were stopped by police. After a brief speech and some slogans, the members burnt an effigy of the US president.

India "Willie" Bush has been a beloved member of the Bush family for more than 10 years. The family named her after the former Texas Ranger baseball player, Ruben Sierra, who was called "El Indio". Currently India lives with the Bush family in the Whitehouse. She likes to hide from her owners. Her favorite place to nap is under the bed and her favorite food is Tuna-flavored kitty treats.

I could be wrong but did he name his India because it's the color of India ink?

He didn't just name the cat India, fer cryin' out loud! She's had the name for 10 years!

Why all of the sudden are they outraged? Democratic memo?

Some people just live to be offended about something.

I've heard Mrs. Bush refer to her (India) as "kitty", just like my cat (Pudder).

What's the big deal? Cats answer to the electic can opener only.

The term "India" applies to an area much larger than the country that calls itself "India".

Historically it includes Myanmar (Burma), Sri Lanka, Bengla Desh, Nepal, Kashmir, Pakistan, chunks of Afghanistan, Bhutan, and by some accounts, major islands in Indonesia and along the Thai and Malaysian coasts.

I think "W", if he's going to respond to this at all, ought to see what all those other folks think about it first.
