14. A DU'er coined the name "Abu Gonzales" quite a while back.
I wish I could remember who so they could have their credit.

24. That's my recollection as well. I remember it as "Abu Gonzo" and it stuck.
Edited on Fri May-18-07 08:45 PM by TahitiNut
Equating that sleazy enabler and kisser-of-autocrat-asses to Abu Ghraib is poetic justice, imho.

20. Fredo was such a loser in The Godfather. What an insult to give anyone that nickname! Love it!
It shows how ignorant of popular culture the president is, OR how insensitive he is.

21. I've felt "Abu Gonzo" best portrays his abject disdain for human rights and civil liberties.
I first saw that on DU a couple of months ago, and it's a perfect fit, imho.

42. Thanks!
Actually I've been lurking since about September, so I've had a while to get used to the place and the things I learned here. I finally got to the point when I felt I had something I could contribute... so here I am!

I'll be around, so long as these tubes still flow. :hi:

Edited on Sat May-19-07 12:10 AM by krispos42




Oh, and as an aside, if you type "Gonzo" into the Google Image Search, the first, the very very first image you get, is surprisingly disturbing and unrelated. Oh, and be warned, it's also adult homoerotic.

and make it longer to say, that just extends the torture so that is all right with me.
