Baghdad couple names baby "George Bush"
Associated Press

Aug. 28, 2003 | BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- A Baghdad mother and father, to show their thanks to President Bush for the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, have named their son after the American leader.

Had the couple had twin boys, they say, the would have named them George Bush and Tony Blair.

The new George Bush -- probably the only one in Baghdad -- was born six weeks ago to Nadia Jergis Mohammed, 34, and her husband Abdul Kader Faris, 41.

2. As if there weren't enough of them already??
It's bad enough that the fucking Bush family themselves can't seem to think of an original name. How many "Georges" do they have now?

BTW, I'll bet these folks are Chalabites and not native Iraqis.

10. And the older brother was named Saddam Hussein
What's strange about naming the kid after the current warlord?
