5. The * is Doonesbury's invention |
|
When Doonesbury first started drawing bush -- he used the *
The connotation will be that in history books bushita will carry the * with the note -- that bush was NOT elected but rather appointed.

that Trudeau came up with * to represent a point of light to represent Poppy Bush. (1000 points of light). So, Shrub gets the same * plus the Imperial helmet for his love of war.

11. No, it's because Poppy was invisible next to Reagan. |

I had no clue as to why the asterisk was used to represent Bush, so as I surfed DU, I came up with what I thought was the reason. ::blush:: I thought it was to graphically represent you know, the a$$hole that he is. Honestly, I that was what I thought they meant. It took me a long time to work that out, but now that I have, I figure it's as good an interpretation as any, even if I don't normally go for that kind of language, being a teacher.

I thought it was being used instead of his name like "he whose name is never said"
