Iraqi couple names son George Bush
News 8 Austin ^

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- It's a fair bet one Baghdad baby won't run into any one else in Iraq with the same name.

Iraqi parents named their 6-week-old son George Bush, to show their appreciation for U.S. efforts to get Saddam Hussein out of power.

If the couple had twin boys, the other baby would have been named Tony Blair, because the father says both the United States and Britain liberated Iraq. The boy's mom told Associated Press Television News that all Iraqis hated Saddam's regime -- and that President Bush saved the Iraqi people from Saddam.

As the woman was interviewed, little George Bush screamed in his crib.

On a related note, this couple rushed out to purchase a new brand of disposable diapers. The insides are lined with pictures of Mo Dowd, Al Gore, the Clintons, Michael Moore, Tim Robbins, The Dixie Chicks and Jessie Jackson.

:-)))

Months ago, I saw some news footage of some Kurds who had named their boys George Bush, and Dick Cheney.

Hear that deafening sound, almost like popcorn? It's the veins in Leftist's heads.
