2. It's Dubya's nickname for her isn't it? |
|
I thought I read that somewhere, once.

4. I did a google search... |
|
only thing I can find is that they both call each other "Bushie." Is it something from Skull & Bones nicknaming everyone, and if it is *'s nickname for her, how did he come up with it? Again, just wondering.

5. In the old Dick Van Dyke show, |
|
the black and white episodes with Mary Tyler Moore, Morey Amsterdam played a writer with a wife he called "Pickles." Pickles was rarely heard from and never seen, but still the constant butt of jokes.
Laura Bush is referenced that way in her honour.

9. Actually, we eventually saw Pickles |
|
And I think she was played by two different actresses, one of whom, I recall, was very funny. But I think you're right about the origin of the name for Laura Bush anyway. Just nitpicking.

11. Thanks. Now, I remember that about.. |
|
The Dick Van Dyke show. I appreciate the explanation. I looked it up in the Demopedia, but it just has her nickname. Makes sense to me now.
