Name a Predator Dinosaur after Bush?
Just an idea...

How, or who, would we have to get a hold of to name a predatory dinosaur after Bush?

3. inappropriate
it is an honor to have a species named after you

even a dung beetle much less a dinosaur

4. Um...
I don't think so. Something like 90%+ of paleontologists vote Democrat, so I think it's unlikely they'll name a dinosaur for Bush. Naming a species after someone is meant as an honor, not an insult.

26. Maybe we can get a zoologist
to name an intestinal parasite after Bush. That seems fitting.

9. how about a Herbivore with the brain the size of a walnut...
predators have to be sharp, alert and active.

I propose the Headuphisassosaurus, a plodding bottom-feeder thought to have spent most of it time asleep occasionally coming out of it's torpor to cut brush.

10. How about just the Predator Dinosaur's poo poo?
The last thing he is is a predator, in fact, saddling any animal, dead or alive, with his name would be an extremely inhumane act.

14. I like dinosaurs, and predators.
Witnessing predation in real life is always exciting. I think it would only demean predators, or any natural species, to name them after the dim son.

Maybe we could name a cesspool after him, or a waste transfer station, or a dump. That might be more fitting. Although, come to think of it, we should probably name Abu Ghraib or the Guantanamo camps after him. That is really going to be his legacy.

29. I guess that about sums it up
Although the thought of * in Gitmo does tend to leaven my mood.

24. I would feel sorry for any organism named after him
Whether it's a predator, or a parasite, or even something that's not really alive as we would recognize it (like a virus or a prion). Even if it's extinct!

A Turkey Buzzard would do.
