Maybe it will send a message to the family that Americans have had enough of them.

(56,582 posts)Hell, name the entire Interstate after him and move on. Interstate naming rights absolutely aren't worth spending any time on, IMO.

(56,582 posts)Why do you care what the Interstate is named? Give the mouth-breathers something to chew on.

(12,712 posts)naming it after the Shrub, I don't think I would want to take that road because we all know where it leads.
Maybe there should be a crime family bypass, in that case?

Auntie Bush
(17,528 posts)It's had to understand that 14% would want another Bush street to constantly remind them of him starting a 11 year war for personal reasons and running us into debt. Maybe if people stopped at each corner and wished him an eternity in hell...it might be worth it.

(13,542 posts)Weirder things happen in the Texas Lege, but if it passes nobody but nobody would even use the name, even the most RW repuke.
Manifestor_of_Light
(21,046 posts)The real name of it is "Intercontinental".
We natives call it "Intergalactic".
They also named a loop around Dallas after Poppy Bush.
I don't want to see ANYTHING named after Shrub except the ditch, and other suggested places mentioned above.
