Have mercy (I'd hate to have to read 4000+ posts to find out) tell me how did "Baghdad Bob" get his name.

Somebody started calling him Baghdad Bob several days ago and it stuck. Howie Carr, a syndicated Boston radio talk-show host and columnist is spreading it beyond FR.

It's just like Combover, the UN Ambassador from Iraq.

The late shift of Fox gave him that nick. It's a propagandist's name, like Tokyo Rose.
