Just worth repeating:
Last week, a memo was sent to all deskies (prompt-writers). Gist of it was Bill Clinton should ALWAYS be called former “President Clinton” while for the current occupant calling “President Bush” once is enough.(Reasoning they should not be cheer-leading) .
The memo was signed by Fox VP John Moody.

Regularly, people still say “the president” when they are discussing Clinton. That is because presidentclinton was all one word for eight years. No one ever said “mr clinton” on any newscast.
Yeah, always call Bubba Mr. President and always call President Bush "Mr. Bush"-- it's the Driveby way.
